Punjab vs Bihar Prediction & Betting Tips 2024
We’re backing Punjab’s batters to go all out against Bihar, who have been extremely underwhelming so far in the tournament. The two most runs conceded in a single innings this season are by Bihar bowlers Sachin Singh and Himanshu Singh. Punjab batters have performed better at home as compared to away matches. We’re expecting the likes of Anmolpreet Singh and Jaskaranvir Singh Paul to go big in Mohali.
Sakibul Gani is the only batsman from the Bihar batting line-up that can hold his head up with decent performances so far this season. The team’s vice-captain has scored 244 runs in three matches so far and is the only batter from his team to have crossed the 50-run mark. We’re expecting him to put up a decent score against Punjab as well.
Punjab vs Bihar Match Toss Prediction
Both the home matches played in Mohali so far this season have seen Punjab bat first and avoid defeat. We’re expecting the team that wins the toss to bat first as well and put up a good total before the pitch starts deteriorating further.
Weather Report
We’re expecting pleasant weather throughout the matchdays in Mohali with temperatures hovering between 16 and 26 degrees. There’s no forecast of rain so we can expect a full match.

Bihar Team Form
Bihar, like their hosts, come into the match winless in the season so far. With three losses in four matches, they are firmly rooted to the bottom of the Group C and will require a monumental effort to go through. The only match they avoided defeat was due to the game being abandoned in Bengal without a ball being bowled.
Punjab vs Bihar Head to Head
The two teams have spent a large part of their history in different divisions. The only time they have faced each other was in 2000 when Punjab dominated Bihar and won by an inning and 20 runs.

Punjab vs Bihar Top Batters
Jaskaranvir Singh Paul to be Punjab’s top batsman
Punjab’s top order batter Jaskaranvir Singh Paul is a weapon the team unleashes at home. Both the matches he has played in the tournament have been at home and interestingly, he has scored a century in both games. He averages over 83 and has scored 250 runs in four innings so far.
Sakibul Gani to be Bihar’s top batsman
The team’s vice-captain has prevented Bihar from folding like a deck of cards in each match. The 25-year-old middle-order batter has scored a century and a fifty so far in three games so far, comfortably becoming the team’s leading run-scorer in the season.
Punjab vs Bihar Top Bowlers
Gurnoor Brar to be Punjab’s top bowler
Local boy Gurnoor Brar is the second-highest wicket-taker for Punjab so far in the tournament, behind Mayank Markande. The pacer has taken 14 wickets so far with 8 of those coming in Mohali. We’re expecting him to extract bounce and swing from the pitch and trouble the Bihar batters.
Himanshu Singh to be Bihar’s top bowler
Leg spinner Himanshu Singh is Bihar’s leading wicket-taker so far in the 2024/25 Ranji Trophy season. In the five innings he has bowled in, he has taken 14 wickets and is yet to blank. We’re expecting him to be the team’s best bowler once again in Mohali.
