MP vs MAH Prediction: Who Will Win?
Who do you think will win?

This should be a tight game, but we think Maharashtra have just enough to get over the line.
Maharashtra come in with the better form, having won three of their last five games, while Madhya Pradesh have won two of their last five.
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.
