Bengal are coming off an impressive victory over Baroda in the last game by seven wickets. Opting to field first, their bowling attack was on the money to restrict the opponents to 228.

Chasing the target, Bengal lost Abishek Porel in the very first over and were later reduced to 71 for 3 inside 17 overs. Anustup Majumdar and Sumanta Gupta then joined hands to stitch an unbroken partnership of 158 runs. Majumdar scored an unbeaten 99 with Gupta supported well with 69 not-out as they finished the chase in 43 overs.
Salman Nizar-led Kerala suffered another defeat in the previous game against Delhi, losing by 29 runs. Bowling first, they had kept the opponents in check most of the innings, reducing them to 147 for 5 but could not close it out. Sharafuddeen snared 2 for 32 in 10 overs while Basil Thampi took 1 for 32 in 7.5 overs.
Chasing 259, Kerala had a horror start as they lost two wickets in the opening over. Rohan Kunnummal made 42 off 39 at the top but they were soon reduced to 128 for 6. Abdul Basith fought hard with a run-a-ball 90 alongside Nizar, who made 38. However, once the captain was dismissed, the next two fell quickly.
Moving on to this encounter, Bengal are favourites according to the bookmakers. The two teams’ chances of winning this game are as follows.

Bengal vs Kerala Toss Prediction
Teams have shown a strong preference for batting second in the ongoing tournament so far. With matches starting early in the morning, bowling first becomes a favorable choice. The afternoon conditions, with the sun beating down, often provide better opportunities for batters while chasing. The toss-winning side is likely to opt for fielding in this match.
Weather Report
Hyderabad is expected to witness favorable weather conditions for the match on Tuesday. The morning and afternoon will likely be partly sunny and pleasant. The radar shows only a 1% chance of precipitation so rain disruptions are unlikely. Temperatures should range between 23°C and 30°C, accompanied by wind gusts of up to 26 km/h.
