Andhra vs Haryana Match Prediction

Haryana are heavy favourites in this Group D clash against a struggling Andhra side. Haryana sit 2nd in the table with 16 points from 4 wins, while Andhra languish in 7th place with just 1 win from 5 matches. Parth Vats has been sensational with a match-winning 157* against Odisha. Captain Ankit Kumar adds further batting firepower with his 144* against Services.

Team Context and Recent Form

Haryana (W4-L1, 16 pts, 2nd): On a four-match winning streak. Beat Odisha chasing 306 on January 3 - Parth Vats starred with 3/60 and an unbeaten 157 off 136 balls after Haryana slumped to 14/3. Earlier victories include chasing 272 against Services (Ankit Kumar 144*) and defending 299 against Gujarat. Their only loss came against table-toppers Delhi. Elite chase record this tournament.

Andhra (W1-L4, 4 pts, 7th): Effectively eliminated from knockout contention. Lost to Gujarat by just 7 runs on January 3 despite posting 311/7 chasing 319. Earlier losses include 74 runs to Saurashtra, 6 wickets to Odisha, and 4 wickets to Delhi. Ricky Bhui scored a brilliant 122 against Delhi but lacks consistent support. Captain Nitish Kumar Reddy has contributed modestly with bat and ball but cannot carry the side alone.

Key Players to Watch

Our Prediction

Haryana have the edge in every department. Their batting depth with Vats and Ankit Kumar has produced multiple match-winning knocks. Their chase record is elite - successfully hunting down 306, 272 and 254 this tournament. Andhra have conceded 300+ in multiple matches and cannot close out tight games. Unless Ricky Bhui produces another century with minimal support, Andhra are set for another defeat in their forgettable campaign.

Haryana at 70% confidence is our pick.

Betting Value

Current odds of 1.50 imply 66.7% for Haryana - slightly below our 70% model probability. Andhra at 2.40 (41.7% implied) sits well above our 30% assessment. Small value exists on Haryana at these odds (+3.3% edge). Fair odds based on our analysis: Haryana 1.43, Andhra 3.33. This qualifies as a betting tip with a 0.5 unit stake. The form disparity and Haryana's knockout motivation make them a solid pick to extend their winning streak.
