Match Prediction

COV has a balanced team and their openers are swiftly scoring in most of the matches. Also, their bowling pack is consistent in picking wickets at regular intervals to support the team. DHP needs more development in their batting side, their openers need to score in the powerplays in order to get big scores on the board. For this match, we favour COV to win against DHP.
