Pitch Report

The Gymkhana Ground in Hyderabad is known for its batting-friendly conditions. The pitch is expected to be flat and hard, with minimal assistance for the bowlers. The team batting first will look to post a big total, while the chasing team will aim to capitalize on the favorable conditions.

Based on the recent form and head-to-head record, Kerala are likely to win this match. Nagaland have struggled in the tournament so far, and their batting lineup has failed to impress. Kerala, on the other hand, have a strong batting lineup and a well-balanced bowling attack.
