Saurashtra vs Jharkhand Chances of Winning
Saurashtra had a decent run in the 2023 Vijay Hazare Trophy. In their final match of the season, they went head-to-head against Sikkim, wherein lost the toss and were tasked with fielding first. They were able to limit Sikkim to a total of 165/9, and chasing it down proved to be an absolute cakewalk as they finished the match in just 16.3 overs, having won by a margin of ten wickets with 201 balls left unused.
Jharkhand’s last match, on the other hand, was marred with misfortune as they conceded a disappointing defeat against Chhattisgarh. They won the toss and decided to field first, allowing Chhattisgarh to bat first and post a total on the board. Unfortunately, they could not curtail Chhatiisgarh’s scoring as they scored 274/8 by the end of 50 overs. Jharkhand faltered in their chase and got bowled out in just 39.1 overs. They lost by 96 runs in the end.
- Saurashtra chance of winning - 52%
- Jharkhand chance of winning - 48%

Saurashtra vs Jharkhand Betting Tips
Harvik Desai, Saurashtra’s wicket-keeper batsman and opener, was their leading run scorer in the Vijay Hazare Trophy with 257 runs in seven innings. He was their second highest run-getter in the previous season of the Ranji Trophy, having amassed 614 runs in 16 innings. Jaydev Unadkat is a force to be reckoned with in the bowling department, considering he captured ten wickets in the Vijay Hazare Trophy and 26 wickets in the Ranji Trophy last season.
Virat Singh has been an incredibly reliable batsman for Jharkhand. In the Ranji Trophy last season, he amassed 498 runs in 14 innings and in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, he emerged as their leading run scorer with 360 runs in seven innings. Varun Aaron did well on the bowling front, having captured 14 wickets in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
Saurashtra vs Jharkhand Toss Prediction
The match is going to be held at Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Rajkot. Two test matches have been hosted at this venue so far, out of which one match was won by the team batting first. Batting first seems rather advantageous at this venue considering the average first innings score stands at 593. The last match held here was between India and West Indies, which the former won by an innings and 272 runs after batting first. Taking this outcome into account, it seems highly likely that the toss winner could opt to bat first in the upcoming match.
Weather Report
The weather appears to be quite conducive for a game of cricket as clear skies are expected with no chance of precipitation whatsoever. The temperature is likely to remain around 28 degrees Celsius.

Saurashtra vs Jharkhand Betting Odds
Saurashtra to have a better opening partnership than Jharkhand
There was a world of difference between Saurashtra’s and Jharkhand’s performances in their respective final matches of the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Jharkhand failed to establish an opening partnership as their opener, Kumar Deobrat, lost his wicket in just the second ball of the innings. Saurashtra, conversely, in their last match against Sikkim, did not lose a wicket at all as their opening pair, Harvik Desai and Samarth Vyas, brought home the victory with an incredible partnership of 167 runs. Considering this massive disparity in performance, Saurashtra could be expected to establish a better first wicket partnership against Jharkhand.
