Dream11 Prediction
Both these sides have shown some excellent brands of cricket during the league stages of the competition. They both have a strong batting line-up. It will boil down to the bowling performance from these sides because even the pitch will be loaded in the favor of the batters. If you take a closer look at the recent record of these two sides, you will find that Saurashtra has won 4 out of their last 5 matches while Kerala has won 3. This shows that Saurashtra is in good form overall and is slightly more likely to win this match. Nothing much in it though. We will bet with Saurashtra to win the match and move further in the competition.
