Kerala vs Mumbai Chances of Winning
Kerala had a brilliant outing against Saurashtra, the defending champions of the Vijay Hazare Trophy, in their first encounter of the season. They had an advantage given that they won the toss and had the liberty of choosing their strategy, and they opted to bowl first, allowing Saurashtra to set the target. Saurashtra seemed to be all out of sorts as they posted a total of just 185 runs and got bowled out in 49.1 overs. They did, however, put up a decent fight in an attempt to defend their total but in the end, it was in vain since Kerala edged past them with a three-wicket victory.
Mumbai, too, had a similar fate in their last match against Sikkim. The latter won the toss and chose to bat first, but Mumbai restricted them to 89 runs before they got bowled out in a mere 38.1 overs. They could do absolutely nothing to defend themselves against Mumbai. They did capture three wickets but it did not hurt Mumbai in the slightest as they emerged victorious by seven wickets.

Kerala vs Mumbai Betting Odds
Mumbai to have a better opening partnership than Kerala
Kerala’s opening partnership against Saurashtra was not particularly good and they seem to have faltered early on before getting back on track. Their opening pair, Vishnu Vinod and Rohan Kunnummal were only able to score nine runs before their first wicket fell in 1.5 overs. Conversely, Mumbai had a better opening partnership, especially considering the dismal total they had to chase down. Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Jay Bista maintained a partnership of 44 runs before the latter’s wicket fell in 5.4 overs. Mumbai can be expected to have a better first wicket partnership than Kerala.

Kerala vs Mumbai Best Batters
Abdul Basith to be Kerala’s Best Batter
Abdul Basith single-handedly scored nearly a third of the runs required to reach the target in their previous match against Saurashtra. He scored 60 runs from 76 deliveries, giving him a strike rate of 78.94. His knock was pleasantly surprising and he can be expected to carry this momentum into the upcoming match and emerge as their top batsman.
Jay Bista to be Mumbai’s Best Batter
Jay Bista, Mumbai’s opener, emerged as the team’s second highest run scorer in their previous outing against Sikkim. During his innings, he was able to score 28 runs from 22 runs, resulting in a brilliant strike rate of 127.27. It appears as though he is just getting started considering the asking rate in the previous match was rather low. He could be expected to claim the top spot as Mumbai’s premier batsman in the upcoming match.
Kerala vs Mumbai Best Bowlers
Akhin Sathar to be Kerala’s Best Bowler
Akhin Sathar is a new addition to Kerala’s squad and he has already begun wreaking havoc against the opponents. In their last match against Saurashtra, he was the top bowler of the entire match given that in a full quota of ten overs, he managed to concede a mere 39 runs which gave him an outstanding economy rate of 3.90. He also captured a whopping four wickets during the process. Considering this impressive showing, he can be anticipated to continue as their top bowler.
Tushar Deshpande to be Mumbai’s Best Bowler
Tushar Deshpande showcased absolute dominance in the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy as he claimed a grand total of 16 wickets in just eight innings. In their previous match against Sikkim, he continued to perform at a high level since he emerged as the top of the entire match - having delivered just seven overs, he allowed 19 balls and claimed three wickets, resulting in a remarkable economy rate of 2.71. There is no doubt that he could remain their top bowler in the next match as well.
