Himachal Pradesh vs Rajasthan Chance of Winning

202-22 Champions Himachal Pradesh have a very strong squad at their disposal with Rishi Dhawan at the helm. The likes of Prsahant Chopra and Ankit Kalsi have been a great support to the skipper to ensure Himchal’s stocks are continuously on a high. The bowling department, led by Dhawan himself, has shown enough potential to have their calling in every game and hence, it is prudent that we back them to the hilt.

Similarly, last year’s finalists Rajasthan have shown they need to be taken more seriously than they already are. If ruthlessness is the name of the game, Rajasthan have aced it with every fibre of their being. With the likes of Deepak Hooda, Deepak Chahar, Mahipal Lormor, and Rahul Chahar calling the shots, Rajasthan can wish to break the shackle and race ahead faster than others in Group B.

Himachal Pradesh vs Rajasthan Best Batters

Prashant Chopra to be Himachal Pradesh’s highest run-scorer (Batery)

Prashant Chopra knows how to bat long in List A cricket, having scored 3796 runs at an average of 40.81 and a strike rate of 82.66. After scoring 28 in the first match, Chopra managed 134 in the second game, which justifies his hard-hitting ability. Bank on him to deliver in the upcoming clash against Rajasthan.

Mahipal Lormor to be Rajasthan’s best batter (Batery)

Mahipal Lormor loves 50-over format, which is evident from his total of 2113 runs at an average of 42.26 and a strike rate of 84.48. With three centuries and 17 half-centuries in the format, the Rajasthan batter has delivered in crucial junctures. His unbeaten 134 in the previous game helped restore sanity for Rajasthan and hence, betting on him to be the top scorer for them once again doesn’t seem too out of the place.

In his List A career, Dagar has picked 65 wickets at an average of 35.27 and a strike rate of 5.07, which makes him one of the important strike options for Himachal Pradesh side.

Rahul Chahar to be Rajasthan’s best bowler (Batery)

Rahul Chahar has taken 98 wickets in List A format at an average of 24.01 and an economy rate of 5.08.

Do you still have doubts?

Favorites to win

Rajasthan

On a pure pedigree basis, Rajasthan are perhaps the third strongest team in the entire country following Mumbai and Tamil Nadu. In all three departments, they excel with everyone complimenting each other. The nine-wicket win in the second round was a validation that Rajasthan have everything they need to go back to the top of the table easily and become a force to be reckoned with in the entire competition.
