Uttar Pradesh vs Chhattisgarh Chances of Winning

Uttar Pradesh’s performance against Andhra in their previous encounter was rather subpar but, fortunately for them, the match concluded in a draw. They won the toss and elected to field first, allowing Andhra to secure the target. Andhra posted a decent total of 261 runs on the board while Uttar Pradesh responded with just 198 runs. They were dismissed rather quickly which gave Andhra the opportunity to extend their lead and they made full use of it by adding 429 runs to their original tally as they were nine down. However, the result was drawn as they ran out of time.

Chhattisgarh faced Mumbai in their last match and got quite lucky in their outing. They lost the toss and were asked to field first while Mumbai went on to score 351 runs in the first innings. Chhattisgarh accumulated exactly 350 runs during their chase but faltered as they lost several wickets in quick succession in the middle of their innings. This prompted Mumbai to further their advantage by scoring an additional 253 runs for six wickets but, as they ran out of days, they had to conclude the match in a draw.
