Kerala vs Madhya Pradesh Chance of Winning

Madhya Pradesh and Kerala will meet in this engaging contest as both teams vie for crucial points in the next round of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024/25. Fans can expect a competitive encounter as these two sides fight for better position in the Group E standings.

Kerala have played only one match in the tournament so far, which they lost to Baroda by 62 runs. Bowling first, their bowling unit could not make enough inroads as Baroda piled on 403 on the board. Sharafuddeen picked 2 for 51 on his debut List A game but others were quite expensive.

Chasing a mammoth target, Rohan Kunnummal and Ahammed Imran provided them a great start of 113 in 15.3 overs. Kunnummal struck 65 off 50 deliveries while Imran also made a fifty. Later, Mohammed Azharuddeen hammered 104 in just 58 balls to keep the side in the hunt but his dismissal pulled the curtains on their hopes.

Madhya Pradesh would rue their performance in the second game against Delhi, suffering a 79-run defeat. Bowling first, they did a terrific job to restrict Delhi to just 211. Kumar Kartikeya was exceptional with his 2 for 24 in 10 overs while Sagar Solanki bagged 2 for 27 in nine overs.

The opening pair of Subhranshu Senapati and Harsh Gawli gave Madhya Pradesh a pretty good start to the run-chase. Senapati struck 55 runs while Gawli made 42 to put the team in a strong position. Madhya Pradesh were 97 for 1 in 20 overs but then suffered a massive collapse and were bowled out for 132.

Moving on to this encounter, the bookmakers have also given both the sides an equal chance of winning.

  • Kerala's chance of winning: 45%
  • Madhya Pradesh’s chance of winning: 55%

Kerala vs Madhya Pradesh Top Batters

Rohan Kunnummal to be the top batter for Kerala

Rohan Kunnummal was solid at the top of the order in the previous game, scoring 65 off just 50. He has a pretty good record in List A cricket, with over 1200 runs at an average of 47 and strike rate of 103. He has registered four centuries and six half centuries in this format. You can bet on him to be the top Kerala batter.

Rajat Patidar to be the top batter for Madhya Pradesh

Rajat Patidar's recent domestic form has been exceptional. Across his last 12 List A innings, he has amassed over 490 runs at a strike rate of 107. In the first game of this tournament, he made a rapid 55 off just 33 balls from the number four position. Given his ability, predicting him to be Madhya Pradesh's top scorer in this match seems a safe bet.
