We are backing Punjab with some confidence. At 63% to win, they are strong favourites, and Railways will need their best game to cause an upset.
Punjab come in with the better form, having won three of their last five games, while Railways have won two of their last five. They also have the upper hand over Railways, winning 4 of the 5 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 160, and anything well above that should put the batting side in control.
