AP zindabad 🙌, I’m backing Andhra Pradesh to win this match, their batting lineup is too strong with Ricky Bhui and Shaik Rasheed in top form. Cheepurapalli Stephen has been doing well with the ball too. Goa has struggled in their recent matches, so I think AP will take this one home 🏆. Khair, let’s see what happens on the field. Dua karo AP ke liye 🙏
I’m going with AP on this one 🤔. Their strong batting lineup, led by Ricky Bhui and Shaik Rasheed, has been impressive this season. Plus, Cheepurapalli Stephen’s bowling form has been a game-changer for them. Goa’s got some talented batsmen too, but I think AP’s overall balance will give them the edge they need to win 🏆. Bring it on! 🎉
AP has the edge in this match, considering their mixed bag of results is still better than GOA’s poor form. Ricky Bhui and Shaik Rasheed’s batting form is a major advantage for AP. I’m placing a cautious bet on AP to win this one 🤑. Fingers crossed! 🤞
I’m going with Andhra Pradesh to win this match, khair insh’Allah. They have a strong batting lineup with Ricky Bhui and Shaik Rasheed in top form. Their bowlers, Cheepurapalli Stephen and Tripurana Vijay, have been doing a great job too. Goa’s batting is strong as well, but I think AP’s overall performance will give them the edge they need to win. AP ke khilaf koi bhi team aaye, mujhe AP par bharosa hai 😊.
