Bengal vs Rajasthan Chance of Winning
Depth is the word we search for a T20 team and the star-studded line-up of the Rajasthan unit provides that in ample.Rajasthan have two massive hitters of the ball in Deepak Hooda and Mahipal Lomror. The bowling department has the likes of Deepak Chahar, Rahul Chahar and Khaleel Ahmed. Not to forget that Deepak is also handy with the bat lower down the order.
Bengal too have a few big batting names but their T20 credibility isn't very massive. In their first match against Maharashtra, they managed to score 158 for the loss of six wickets and only two batters could score over 20 runs. The pacer unit consisting of Mukesh Kumar, Akash Deep and Ishan Porel, and all-rounder Shahbaz Ahmed would hold the key to their success. However, they were also hammered by Maharashtra batters who led their team to an 8-wicket win with 34 balls to spare.
But the overall team composition and the abundance of match-winners is expected to keep
Rajasthan in good stead against Bengal in Mohali.
Bengal chance of winning - 45%
Rajasthan chance of winning - 55%

Bengal vs Rajasthan Betting Odds
Bengal to score under 48.5 runs in their first six overs
Bengal are expected to find it really difficult to score over 49 runs in their first six overs against a very good Rajasthan bowling attack. Their young opener Ranjot Khaira has a strike rate of 111.32 only. However, Abhishek Porel opened in the first match and could score only 15 runs off 14 balls. Other opener and team's star batter Abhimanyu Easwaran has a strike rate of 121.53. He was dismissed for a golden duck in the first match. The Bengal batting unit overall does not have a batter with X-factor. The likes of experienced Khaleel Ahmed and Deepak Chahar are going to make it really difficult for Bengal to score over 49 runs in the first six overs. Rahul Chahar is another star spinner who can provide breaks on Bengal run-scoring.

Bengal vs Rajasthan Top Batters
Ranjot Singh to be the top batter for Bengal
Eyes will be on Ranjot Singh who scored 49 unbeaten runs off 31 balls in his first outing of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy against Maharashtra. His innings consisted of four boundaries and two sixes. He was the only batter from the team to score runs with a strike rate in excess of 150. The 25-year-old has played six T20 matches till date and scored 108 runs at an average of 21.60.
Deepak Hooda to be the top batter for Rajasthan
The 28-year-old out-of-favour Rajasthan cricketer has a lot to prove with the bat. Like Lomror, Hooda would also be playing his first match since his IPL 2023 campaign. He has played a total of 190 T20 matches and scored 3134 runs at an average of 24.29 and a strike rate of 137.94.
Bengal vs Rajasthan Top Bowlers
Akash Deep to be the top bowler for Bengal
Akash Deep was Bengal's most effective bowler against Maharashtra. While each of the other five bowlers used were hammered all over the park, Akash gave away just 29 runs to pick one wicket. He would be aiming to carry forward the momentum. He was part of the East Zone squad recently in Duleep Trophy and then played six Deodhar Trophy matches to pick eight wickets. The RCB pacer has played 35 T20 matches and picked 40 wickets at an average of 22.62.
Rahul Chahar to be the top bowler for Nepal
The 24-year-old spinner would be eyeing a strong Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2023 campaign. His guileful spin bowling would be of major threats to the opposition this season. He has played a total of 105 T20 matches and picked 188 wickets at an average of 24.83. In the previous season, he played seven matches and picked eight wickets at an average of 23.50.
