MPD vs OSA Team Previews
Madhya Pradesh
Madhya Pradesh had made it to the pre-quarterfinals in the last season and would be hoping for a better outcome this season. Their latest campaign however began on a sour note, as the team lost its opening match against J&K in a high-scoring encounter.
Yash Dubey and Abhishek Bhandari were in excellent form in that match and put up 132 runs for the opening wicket. While the middle order faltered a bit, Rajat Patidar and Akshat Raghuwanshi led a late surge to guide MP to a competitive total of 342. The bowling was pretty disappointing as they failed to defend the massive total.
Kumar Kartikeya was the standout bowler, giving away just 32 runs from his 10 overs amidst the batting onslaught. Much will depend on Avesh Khan and Kuldeep Sen’s performance in the second match.
Madhya Pradesh Playing 11
Avesh Khan, Abhishek Bhandari, Aditya Rajesh Shrivastava, Akshat Raghuwanshi, Anubhav Agarwal, Kuldeep Sen, Kumar Kartikeya, Rajat Patidar, Saransh Jain, Yash Dubey, Shubham Sharma.
Odisha
Odisha lost its opening match of the season but came back strongly in the last match to defeat Nagaland by 135 runs in the second match. The top order, which had performed well in the opening match, failed miserably against a mediocre Nagaland bowling line-up. However, Rajesh Dhuper and Abhishek Raut steadied the ship to get Odisha to a respectable 224.
Tarani Sa bowled an excellent spell of 5-19 to lead his team’s bowling attack, as Nagaland was dismantled for 89. Jayanta Behera and Debabrata Pradhan were the top bowlers in the last season, picking up 19 wickets between them. Shubhranshu Senapati, who was the top-scorer was the team last year, scored an excellent half-century in the first match.
Abhishek Raut has proved to be a handy all-rounder over the years, as he scored 116 runs and picked up 8 wickets in the previous edition.
Odisha Playing 11
Anshuman Rath, AS Raut, Debabrata Pradhan, Jayantra Behera, Kartik Biswal, Rajesh Dhuper, Rajesh Mohanty, Rakesh Pattanaik, Shantanu Mishra, Subhranshu Senapati, Tarani Sa.

Pitch and Conditions
The Wankhede pitch is a batsman’s paradise, and we are likely to see a high-scoring match on Tuesday. While there is nothing much for the quicker bowlers, the spinners will find some turn as the match progresses. Nevertheless, the batsmen will find it easy to score runs throughout the game.
The average first innings score here is around 250, but teams will be looking to score at least 300 to give the bowlers a good chance. The skies are expected to be clear, and the temperature will be around the 30-degree mark.
MPD vs OSA Betting Tips
We are backing Odisha to win this one. The MP bowlers looked completely out of depth in the first game and will find it difficult to make a comeback on the flat pitch at Wankhede Stadium. The Odisha batsmen are in good form and will be looking to take on the under-confident bowling line-up.
Bet on an Odisha win.
