Rajasthan vs Jharkhand MatchChance of Winning

The match will be played in Jaipur, and the home side is expected to benefit from it. After playing two draws in a row, Rajasthan defeated Puducherry by an inning and 101 runs. Despite the fact that their first two games resulted in draws, Rajasthan’s batters were outstanding throughout the game. In the first game against Goa, we witnessed a run-fest. Batting first Goa scored 547 and in the reply, Rajasthan reached 456, eventually the game ended in a draw. With the inclusion of Deepak Hooda in the squad the team looks more balanced. Batting at number four, Hooda's last three innings read 133, 155*, 94. Rajasthan have another positive in the form of Manav Suthar who gave all-round performance against Puducherry, he scored 96* with the bat and took 11 wickets in the game.

Jharkhand has shown all-round performance so far in this edition. Ishan Kishan and Saurabh Tiwary showed a lot of class and lifted the team in the first innings against Goa. Spin duo Shahbaz Nadeem and Anukul Roy have been terrific in the recent outings. The Virat Singh-led side lost the first match against Kerala and played a draw against Goa in their second game. The star studded side of Jharkhand definitely has the potential but big guns have failed on many occasions and that can affect their qualification chances.

Fans can expect an exciting encounter between two teams. With a more balanced side, Rajasthan should manage to grab a win in Jaipur.

Our Prediction

Rajasthan have a slight edge against Jharkhand and will be favourites to beat Jharkhand in Jaipur. With the presence of Deepak Hooda in the middle order, they have done well so far. In the last game against Puducherry, Hooda and Manav Suthar scored 94 and 96 runs respectively and guided their team to a comfortable total of 335. Suthar showed his magic with the ball as well, he scalped 11 wickets. Apart from them, Rajasthan’s top order batsmen are also in good knick.

Rajasthan to win

Rajasthan are the more likely side to win this Elite Group C match. Deepak Hooda slammed centuries in both innings against Kerala and is in red hot form. Mahipal Lomror, the 23-year-old Rcbian is in good form as well. He played some vital innings with his bat in the recent outings. Rajasthan have another positive in the form of Manav Suthar, who did exceptionally well against Puducherry in both departments. He scalped 11 wickets and scored important 96 runs with the bat. For Jharkhand Anukul Roy has emerged as a great all-round option but he too would be tested against the Rajasthan side, who play spin better.

Rajasthan vs Jharkhand Top Team Bowlers

Aniket Choudhary to be Rajasthan’s top bowler

The left arm medium pacer from Bikaner can create trouble for Jharkhand’s batting order. He registered fifer against Kerala in the first inning which dismantled Kerala’s top order. Although he went wicketless in the last game against Puducherry but would be eyeing on to make an impact early in the inning. Choudhary has taken 226 wickets in 71 first class matches with an economy rate of 2.81.

Shahbaz Nadeem to be Jharkhand's top bowler

Shahbaz Nadeem started this season on high and picked a five-wicket haul in each of the two innings against Kerala. The left-arm spinner continued his form against Goa and took five wickets.
