Bandra Kurla Complex

Assam and Services will be locking horns in their next Group B fixture of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2023. The clash is slated to take place at Sharad Pawar Cricket Academy BKC, Mumbai on Thursday, October 19th, with the scheduled start time of 11:00 AM IST.

Facts:

  • This will be the first time Assam and Services will face each other in a T20 game.
  • Both Assam and Services have won a game each and lost a game each in the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.

Assam vs Services Chance Winning

Assam had a middling season of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy last year, finishing fourth in Elite Group A after winning four games and losing three. They didn't get off to a desired start this season as they fell 11 runs short in their opening game while chasing 227 against Odisha. They opened their account with a five-run victory over Bihar on Tuesday.

Being sent in to bat first, Assam's opening got them off to a good start with 59 runs on the board in 6.5 overs. Captain Riyan Parag then joined the party and hammered 61 off 34 balls. Pallavkumar Das provided them a great finish with his 10-ball 29* to power the team to 200. Their bowling unit couldn't quite take control of the match. Parag's spell of 2 for 25 in four overs turned out to be crucial as they just about managed to hold off the opponents.

Services lost out on a spot in the preliminary quarter finals last season even after winning five out of seven games. They had the same number of points as the second placed team in Group C but had poor net run-rate. Services kicked off this season with a dominant eight-wicket win over Sikkim but fell short by just 1 run against Kerala in the second game.

The Services bowling unit could not keep a lid on run-scoring and conceded 189 runs in 20 overs, with opponents' Vishnu Vinod smashing a century. Chasing the big target, Shubham Rohilla made 41 off 31 at the top while other batters played short cameos. Vikas Hathwala, who came in as impact sub, scored 40 not-out in 30 while Arjun Sharma hit 4-ball 13* but getting 17 off the final proved too much.

The two teams have never faced each other in a T20 before but are pretty well matched. This match could go either way. Check out the two teams' chances of winning this game on Thursday.

  • Assam's chance of winning: 52%
  • Services’s chance of winning: 48%
