Assam vs Manipur Match Prediction
India
Jaipuria Vidyalaya Ground
Facts:
- Manipur are one of only three teams alongside Nagaland and Sikkim yet to register a win in the revamped Vijay Hazare Trophy - a run of 19 matches.
- Two of the biggest 5 margins of victories by runs in this season have come against Manipur - 182 runs by Uttarakhand and 171 runs by Goa.
Assam vs Manipur Chance of Winning
Assam’s 2024/25 Vijay Hazare Trophy season is nearly over with just one win in their first five matches. After starting with a loss against Jharkhand, they pulled off a last-ball win over Odisha. Since then, however, it has been downhill for them and they've lost three matches with their latest defeat coming against Goa.
Manipur, as expected, have lost all their matches in the tournament. The whipping boys of the group, Manipur have even failed to put up a fight in either match and languish at the bottom of Group A with a net run rate of -3.560.
- Assam Chance of Winning - 98%
- Manipur Chance of Winning - 2%
Assam vs Manipur Prediction & Betting Tips 2024
The match is expected to be unbelievably one-sided with Assam coming out on top in both departments. It depends hugely on the toss if we’ll see Manipur chase a huge target or get bowled out early after batting first. Hence, we’d back the Assamese bowlers and top order batters in the match.
Rishav Das started the tournament with two fifties in as many matches but has faltered in the last three games. The match against Manipur is ideal for the opener to regain his form and we’re backing him to do well.
After returning empty-handed in the first three games, medium pacer Mukhtar Hussain has impressed in the last two matches, bagging 5 wickets. While Assam have struggled for wickets so far in the tournament, Hussain comes into the match in form and will be expected to rip through the Manipur batting unit.
Assam vs Manipur Match Toss Prediction
The Jaipuria Vidyalaya Ground has seen teams batting first win three out of the five matches played at the venue. However, the captain that wins the toss has opted to field first on all five occasions. We believe that trend will continue when Assam goes up against Manipur.
Weather Report
A cloudy weather is expected in Jaipur with the temperature hovering between 13 and 21 degrees celsius. There's little chance of rain, which is the only hope for Manipur to get something from the game. However, it seems like we'll see a full match.

Assam vs Manipur Betting Odds
Manipur’s openers to outscore Assam’s opening pair
While the result is a given with Assam expected to hammer Manipur, we’re backing the Manipuri opening pair to outscore Assam’s openers. In the five matches the two teams have played, Assam’s openers average a paltry 12.6 runs for the opening wicket with a high score of 23. Manipur, on the other hand, despite two ducks average nearly 15 for the opening wicket. Notably, they scored 40 and 55 runs against Goa and Jharkhand, respectively. We’re expecting a low opening score by both teams but Manipur to have a better opening wicket partnership in the match.

Assam vs Manipur Top Batters
Sumit Ghadigaonkar to be Assam’s top batsman
Wicketkeeper-batsman Sumit Ghadigaonkar is Assam’s topscorer and the only Assamese player to cross the 200-run mark in the season so far. The only match where he failed with the bat was against Gujarat. In the other four matches, he has scores of 77, 47, 55, and 50.
Kangabam Priyojit to be Manipur’s top batsman
One of only two Manipuri batsmen to cross the 100-run mark, Kangabam Priyojit is our pick to be the team’s best batter in the match. The 30-year-old has two 40+ scores in the tournament to help himself to become the team’s leading run scorer with 118 runs in 5 matches.
Assam vs Manipur Top Bowlers
Mukhtar Hussain to be Assam’s top bowler
Mukhtar Hussain is one of the shining lights in Assam’s otherwise toothless bowling attack. The medium pacer has taken 5 wickets in the tournament, all of them coming in the last two matches. We expect him to do well against Manipur’s batting unit.
Pheiroijam Jotin to be Manipur’s top bowler
Medium pacer Pheiroijam Jotin is largely inconsistent with the ball but can trouble batsmen on his day. The teenage sensation is the team’s leading wicket-taker in the tournament with 6 wickets. 5 of those, however, came in a single match against Goa. He has what it takes to trouble established batsmen on his day and Manipur will be hoping he is on song against Assam.
