KER vs AND Prediction: Who Will Win?
Who do you think will win?
Tap a team to vote.
Andhra go into this game as slight favourites, and we expect them to win it.
Andhra come in with the better form, having won three of their last five games, while Kerala have won two of their last five. They also have the upper hand over Kerala, winning 6 of the 10 meetings between the two sides that produced a result.
The toss could matter here. Chasing has been the better option at this ground, so the captain who calls right may well choose to bowl first. We expect a first-innings score of around 165, and anything well above that should put the batting side in control.
