Facts:
- Two of Assam’s four wins over Jharkhand have come in the last five matches.
- Both teams have reached the final of the Vijay Hazare Trophy once in their history with Jharkhand winning their final in the 2010-11 season while Assam lost theirs two years later.
Assam vs Jharkhand Chance of Winning
Assam had a torrid time at the 2023/24 Vijay Hazare Trophy, losing five and winning just one of their six matches. They did improve on their record in limited overs cricket in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, winning three and losing as many earlier this month. Assam will have to be at their best to have a chance of making a winning start to the tournament.
Jharkhand, on the other hand, won four matches out of seven in the Vijay Hazare Trophy last season. Like with Assam, Jharkhand saw an improvement in results in the SMAT. They won 5 and lost two games in the T20 tournament. They have the better form out of the two teams but can’t afford to let their foot off the gas.
Assam Chance of Winning - 38%
Jharkhand Chance of Winning - 62%
Our Prediction
It is one of the most even match-ups in the first round of the 2024/25 Vijay Hazare Trophy. While the match could go either way, we’re backing Jharkhand to edge it purely on the basis of their recent form.
- Assam to Win - 2.75 (Batery)
- Jharkhand to Win - 1.45 (Batery)
Assam vs Jharkhand Prediction & Betting Tips 2024
While batsmen do well in Jaipur, both Assam and Jharkhand had a poor record for the opening wicket last season. A partnership of over 50 runs was only witnessed once in the entire tournament by both teams combined while there have been five single digit scores in 12 innings. Hence, we believe that the powerplay could see wickets in both innings.
Assam vs Jharkhand Match Toss Prediction
A batting-friendly pitch at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium is expected for the match. The captain that wins the toss is likely to bat first and put up an imposing total in order to put pressure on the opposition.
Weather Report
The conditions in Jaipur are ideal for a game of cricket. There’s no forecast of rain in Jaipur on 21st December and the temperature is expected to be in the early to mid 20 degrees celsius.

Assam vs Jharkhand Betting Odds

Assam vs Jharkhand Top Batters
Rishav Das to be Assam’s top batsman
Rishav Das will have to shoulder the responsibility of scoring the bulk of his team’s runs. The 35-year-old comes into the match having scored 363 runs in his last 7 matches. He averaged over 90 during that period and will be looking at replicating that form in the season opener.
Virat Singh to be Jharkhand’s top batsman
With 360 runs in 7 matches, Virat Singh was Jharkhand’s best batsman in the tournament last season. The 27-year-old opening batter averaged 60 during this period. In the 2024 SMAT, Virat Singh scored 183 runs, just 1 short of his teammate Utkarsh Singh. We are backing Virat to perform well against Assam.
Assam vs Jharkhand Top Bowlers
Akash Sengupta to be Assam’s top bowler
Medium pacer Akash Sengupta has taken 10 wickets in his previous 6 matches in List A cricket. With an average return from the SMAT, the 24-year-old will be hoping to rediscover his form in the 50-over format.
Varun Aaron to be Jharkhand’s top bowler
14 wickets in the previous edition saw Varun Aaron become the team’s most prolific bowler of the 2023/24 Vijay Hazare Trophy. The India international didn’t feature in the SMAT, but is expected to return to the playing XI come matchday.
