Prediction Review
Our 78% confidence was justified. Bengal's batting depth made light work of the chase—three half-centuries including Gharami's century. Chandigarh showed improvement with 249/9 (their best score this VHT), but the class gap was evident. Bengal remain alive in the tournament with this comprehensive win.
Betting Outcome
We recommended SKIP for betting due to negative edge (-2.6%). Bengal won as predicted, but the 1.24 odds offered no value. Correct call to avoid the bet.
