Punjab vs Uttar Pradesh Chances of Winning
After facing a terrible loss at the hands of Kerala in the first match of the season, Punjab did some damage limitation by drawing with Madhya Pradesh in the previous encounter. The former were the first to bat and they managed to add 277 runs to the board before getting bowled out - wicket-keeper batter Salil Arora stood out with his total of 101 while Sukhwinder Singh chimed in with a score of 66. The bowlers kept Madhya Pradesh down to 207 which allowed Punjab to build a major lead over the opposition. This time, it was opener Jaskaranvir Singh Paul who topped the charts for Punjab with 116, followed by Anmolpreet Singh who scored 72 runs. With an additional 329 runs on the scoreboard, Punjab were on course for a smooth sailing victory before their chances were thwarted by a lack of time, resulting in a draw.
Uttar Pradesh drew for a second time in a row as they went up against Haryana in the last match. The latter put pressure early on by posting a target of 453 and Uttar Pradesh responded with 364 runs. Skipper, opener and wicket-keeper batter Aryan Juyal was the top scorer for the team with his contribution of 119 and Rinku Singh was next in line, having amassed 89 runs and falling short of a century. Haryana were starting to struggle in their second innings considering they were 72/3 but Uttar Pradesh’s aspirations of a victory were curbed well before it was within their sights as the match ended at this juncture which forced a stalemate between the sides.

Punjab vs Uttar Pradesh Best Bowlers
Mayank Markande to be Punjab’s Best Bowler
Mayank Markande leads Punjab’s bowling unit with ten wickets in four innings so far and a brilliant average of 14.70. He only managed to take three of those across two innings in the last game versus Madhya Pradesh but the skipper is expected to lead the way once more, especially since he already has a fifer under his belt this season.
Vipraj Nigam to be Uttar Pradesh’s Best Bowler
Vipraj Nigam currently tops Uttar Pradesh’s bowling attack with nine wickets in four innings. He picked three in the first innings against Haryana during their previous encounter but failed to add any more to the tally in the second spell. Regardless, he is anticipated to come back stronger in the upcoming match and outdo the others.
