Haryana vs Maharashtra Chances of Winning
Haryana absolutely demolished Manipur in their previous encounter. The latter won the toss and relegated Haryana to batting first, but this did not deter them in the slightest. Haryana went guns blazing and terrorized the opposition by posting a nearly unattainable target of 508 runs, having lost just three wickets along the way before they declared the innings. In their feeble attempt to chase down the score, Manipur had no response and crumbled under the pressure. They scored a mere 77 runs in the first innings and it became clear that the match was over. They handed Haryana the victory when they got bowled out in their follow-on innings for just 93 runs, losing by an innings and 338 runs.
In an interesting turn of events, Maharashtra received the short end of the stick in their last match against Rajasthan. They lost the toss and were tasked with batting first. They accumulated 189 runs in the first innings, but it was not enough to pose a threat to Rajasthan. The latter snatched the lead in their chase and scored 270 runs and the pressure began to mount on Maharashtra. They were only able to add 184 more runs to their original tally which allowed Rajasthan to see victory on their horizon. They amassed 106 runs without losing any wickets and defeated Maharashtra by a whopping ten wickets.
