Himachal Pradesh vs Services Chance of Winning
Himachal Pradesh have the reputation of being one of the most consistent sides in the Vijay Hazare Trophy over the years, but form has deserted them this year. With most of the players underperforming, the Rishi Dhawan-led side have found it hard to go by. However, the kind of strength they possess on paper can come good against another struggling side like Services in the upcoming encounter.
On the other hand, Services lack the quality to match Himachal Pradesh. Rajat Paliwal is the only player with a pedigree, but overall, they lack coherence in every department to make things count. The Mohit Ahlawat-led side have a lot of work to do in terms of what they consider a good score to be put on the scoreboard and the skipper also have a huge role to play in that.

Himachal Pradesh vs Services Best Batters
Prashant Chopra to be Himchal Pradesh’s highest run-scorer (Batery)
Prashant Chopra is one of the most consistent batters in Himachal Pradesh in the last decade or so, more so, in List A cricket. With 4012 runs to his name at an average of 41.79 and a strike rate of 82.84, things have become more prudent for Chopra to take notice. So bet on him and take home a good amount of cash.
Mohit Ahalwat to be Services’ best batter (Parimatch)
Even though he is not too experienced, Mohit Ahalwat has shown tremendous resilience to power through List A cricket. The newly-appointed skipper has scored 763 runs in List A cricket at an average of 33.17 and a strike rate of 84.68 in just 12 games. In the ongoing tournament, he has scores of 78, 43, 61, and 25 - making him a solid batter in the middle order.
Himachal Pradesh vs Services Best Bowlers
Vaibhav Arora to be Himachal Pradesh’s best bowler (Batery)
Vaibhav Arora has done supremely well in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy to keep Himachal Pradesh in contention. Arora has taken 10 wickets in four matches at an average of 19.50 and an economy rate of 5.41. Arora and Apporav Walia are two of the bright spots for Himchal Pradesh this season and one can hope this will continue for yet another game.
Amit Shukla to be Services’ best bowler (Batery)
Amit Shukla has made his List A debut in the ongoing season of the Vijay Hazare Trophy but has already been the most impactful performer, having taken six wickets at an average of 26.16 and at an economy rate of 3.86. He is the only Services bowler to have shown some sort of resilience and will be difficult for anyone else from his side to beat that.
