Madhya Pradesh vs Punjab Betting Odds

Madhya Pradesh to have a better opening partnership than Punjab

Punjab had varied opening batters during the previous season but it did not help their cause at all since their scores were far from ideal. In the last three games, the first wicket posted below par totals of 4, 8, 11, 3 and 0 runs. They pale in comparison to Madhya Pradesh considering Harsh Gawli and Himanshu Mantri set up competitive stands of 147, 28*, 15, 29, 51 and 84 runs in the last three matches. The disparity between the sides is quite clear and the latter are, naturally, favored to put on a better partnership in the upcoming match.
