Bihar vs Kerala Toss Prediction

Throughout this ongoing tournament, teams have shown a strong preference for batting second.

The afternoon conditions, on the other hand, are much better for batting. So expect the toss-winning side to opt for fielding in this match.

Weather Report

As per the forecast, Hyderabad should witness good enough weather conditions for the match on Sunday. It is likely to be hazy in the morning and afternoon but rain should be a concern with the radar showing no chance of precipitation.
