Facts:
- Bengal won four out of six matches in the 2022 Vijay Hazare Trophy and the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy.
- Nagaland’s campaign in both tournaments was dismal as they failed to win any matches in either of the formats.
Bengal vs Nagaland Chances of Winning
Bengal has been quite consistent in their last few tournaments. In the previous season of the Vijay Hazare Trophy and their recent season of the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy, they participated in six matches and won four in both tournaments. Their form lately has been quite good, considering they beat Rajasthan by 28 runs, Puducherry by 62 runs, Uttarakhand by eight wickets and Jharkhand by five runs in the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy.
Nagaland, on the other hand, has been in absolutely dismal shape. There are major parallels that can be drawn between their previous campaign in the Vijay Hazare Trophy and recent Syed Mushtaq Ali season - they went winless in both tournaments and do not seem to be in a position to redeem themselves.

Bengal vs Nagaland Betting Tips
Both of Bengal’s opening batsmen, Abhimanyu Easwaran and Abhishek Porel surpassed the 200-run milestone during the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy recently, having scored 248 and 239 runs respectively. Sudip Kumar Gharami, their skipper, was next in line with 197 runs in seven innings. In the bowling department, Akash Deep stood out as he captured nine wickets in seven innings.

Sedezhalie Rupero was miles ahead of the rest of the team in terms of runs during the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy, wherein he amassed 120 runs in five innings.
