Our Prediction
Railways, who have dominated over Jammu & Kashmir since 2007, are very likely going to beat Jammu & Kashmir in their upcoming match. Even though they are not performing up to their potential, they still fought till last against the defending champion in the last game. Railways look more balanced and more importantly their players have the experience. Jammu & Kashmir look pale and vulnerable as a team and might find it really hard to topple Railways. Further, Jammu & Kashmir have failed to beat Railways since 2007.

Khajuria has six centuries and 19 half-centuries to his name.
Arindam Ghosh to be Railways' top batsmen
