Meghalaya vs Vidarbha Chances of Winning
Meghalaya has been in a miserable state for quite a long time. With immense difficulty, they managed to secure one win in the previous season of the Vijay Hazare Trophy. As if that was not bad enough, they downgraded further in this year’s Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy as they ended their season with absolutely no wins, or even any semblance of salvation. They had absolutely nothing to write home about in the recent past and their current predicament suggests that it is going to remain that way for a while.
Vidarbha had only finished one place higher than Meghalaya in the last season of the Vijay Hazare Trophy with three wins out of seven matches. However, their form took a turn for the better as they were able to win four out of six matches in the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy. Their season began on an incredibly strong note as they secured four consecutive victories. They managed to beat Uttarakhand by seven wickets, Rajasthan by six wickets, Bengal by seven wickets and Puducherry by 103 runs.

Meghalaya vs Vidarbha Betting Tips
Meghalaya’s squad during the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy was disappointing to say the least as they only had two players who managed to cross the 100-run threshold; Larry Sangma with 135 runs and Nakul Verma with 119 runs. Rajesh Bishnoi, their skipper, was their major strength in the bowling unit as he claimed eight wickets in seven innings. Next in line was Akash Choudhary with just five wickets.
Vidarbha’s batting order was incredibly dominant during the series. Their skipper, Atharva Taide, was particularly impressive as he amassed 302 runs in seven innings. Shubham Dubey and Karun Nair, their middle-order batters, were almost equally impressive as they contributed 221 and 218 runs respectively. Their bowling unit was no less as they employed the talent of Umesh Yadav who managed to claim a whopping 15 wickets in six innings, six of which came during a single spell.
Meghalaya vs Vidarbha Toss Prediction
The match is going to be played at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur. The last match held at this venue was between Meghalaya and Baroda during the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy. The latter won the toss and elected to field first which turned out to be favourable for them as they ended up emerging victorious by seven wickets with 88 balls to spare. Given this recent dominant outcome, it seems likely that the toss winners will opt to bowl first in the next fixture.
