Assam, on the other, was absolutely bested on home soil in their encounter against Bengal.

Uttar Pradesh vs Assam Betting Odds
Uttar Pradesh to have a better opening partnership than Assam
Assam’s opening duo, Rishav Das and Rahul Hazarika, struggled to achieve a decent partnership in their first innings against Bengal, having scored just five runs until the latter’s wicket was taken in 4.4 overs. In the following innings, they improved slightly as they scored 31 runs together. Uttar Pradesh’s openers, however, posted a much better opening stand against Mumbai as Aryan Juyal and Samarth Singh collaborated for 46 runs in the first innings and kept their partnership alive for 12.4 overs. They fell off in the second innings, considering they only added 11 runs to the first wicket. However, they are still anticipated to outdo Assam in terms of first wicket partnership.
Uttar Pradesh vs Assam Best Batters
Aryan Juyal to be Uttar Pradesh’s Best Batter
Aryan Juyal, Uttar Pradesh’s wicket-keeper batsman, is their leading run-getter with 301 runs in seven innings. In their first innings against Mumbai, he scored just 27 runs off 42 deliveries. In the second innings, however, he emerged as their top batsman with 76 runs from 100 balls. Given his reliability, he could be anticipated to remain their standout batsman.
Denish Das to be Assam’s Best Batter
Despite having participated in six innings, Denish Das has only managed to accumulate 130 runs which includes two half-centuries. In their previous match against Bengal, he scored 50 runs off 51 deliveries during the first innings and contributed 21 runs from 29 balls in the second innings. He could be expected to emerge as their leading batsman.
Uttar Pradesh vs Assam Best Bowlers
Bhuvneshwar Kumar to be Uttar Pradesh’s Best Bowler
Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the leading wicket-taker for Uttar Pradesh with 13 wickets under his belt in just three innings. Against Mumbai, he captured two wickets in 18 overs during the first innings and added three more wickets to his tally in the following innings. Considering his consistency, he could be the premier bowler for the team.
Mukhtar Hussain to be Assam’s Best Bowler
Mukhtar Hussain is the second highest wicket-taker for Assam with 12 wickets in six innings. He was their leading wicket-taker in their last encounter against Bengal, having captured four wickets in 38.4 overs for an economy rate of 2.22. Taking his recent form into account, it seems likely that he could be their top bowler once again.
