Dr DY Patil University Ground
Two of the best sides in Group B of the Vijay Hazare Trophy, Maharashtra and Himachal Pradesh, will lock horns with each other at the Dr DY Patil University Ground, Mumbai, on December 28, 2024 (Saturday), at 9:00 AM IST. While Maharashtra are unbeaten in the tournament so far, having won all three games comfortably, Himachal Pradesh have won two and lost one game so far.
Facts:
- Ruturaj Gaikwad has been a beast in List A cricket, having scored 4279 runs at an average of 59.43 with 16 centuries and 17 fifties
- In 2024, Rishi Dhawan is averaging 58 with the bat to go with his career List A batting average of 38.71
- The third-highest wicket-taker for Himachal Pradesh in List A cricket history, Mayank Dagar has 63 wickets at an average of 35.6 with a strike rate of 42.3
Maharashtra vs Himachal Pradesh Chance of Winning
Led by Ruturaj Gaikwad, Maharashtra have been unstoppable in the ongoing season - backed by the performance of their own skipper and the bowling unit, led by Satyajeet Bachhav. Even the likes of Siddhesh Veer, Rajneesh Gurbani, and Rajvardhan Hangargekar have regularly chipped in with wickets to ensure that Maharashtra are swifting away pretty fast.
On the other hand, Himachal Pradesh have blown hot and cold in the ongoing season. Despite the form of Rishi Dhawan, Ankit Kalsi, and Prashant Chopra, bowlers haven’t been able to match upto the standard. That would be a cause of concern for the Himachal Pradesh side in the upcoming encounter.

Himachal Pradesh Team Form
So far in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy, Himachal Pradesh have won two and lost one game, which has put them in the bottom half of the Group B table. However, beating Maharashtra in Mumbai gives them a wonderful chance of breaking through the clutter and positioning themselves in the top half.
Maharashtra vs Himachal Pradesh Head-To-Head
Maharashtra and Himachal Pradesh have a very strange record. The former have won all four games without breaking a sweat. Are these signs to come? Maybe.
Maharashtra vs Himachal Pradesh Betting Odds
Maharashtra powerplay score over 45.5 runs @ (Batery)
Maharashtra’s top order poses a strong challenge, with the likes of Ruturaj Gaikwad, Om Bhosale, and Santosh Veer have all scored fifties in the ongoing tournament. The kind of hunger their batters have shown in the league, it just goes on to show that Himachal Pradesh will be in for a hard time against Maharashtra. In the last 11 games, Maharashtra batters have scored an average of 57 runs in the first 10 overs, which further confirms our prediction.

Maharashtra vs Himachal Pradesh Best Batters
Ruturaj Gaikwad to be Maharashtra’s highest run-scorer (Batery)
Ruturaj Gaikwad has been a beast in List A cricket, having scored 4279 runs at an average of 59.43 with 16 centuries and 17 fifties. His insane appetite for runs can be understood from the fact that he is averaging 149 in 2024 alone - and has already scored a century in two outings. Just back him to do well, and he will deliver for sure.
Rishi Dhawan to be Himachal Pradesh’s best batter (Parimatch)
From being a bowler who is neither here nor there, Rishi Dhawan has become a proper batter of sorts. In 2024, he is averaging 58 to go with his career average of 38.71 and a strike rate of 95.6. With 15 fifties and one century, the Himachal Pradesh skipper is quietly delivering fire, and we are in for a real surprise if he doesn’t perform well.
Maharashtra vs Himachal Pradesh Best Bowlers
Rajneesh Gurbani to be Maharashtra’s best bowler (Batery)
Rajneesh Gurbani has a tendency to take crucial wickets, and since moving to Maharashtra from Vidarbha, he has been taking wickets on a regular basis. Overall in his List A career, the pacer has 38 wickets at an average of 30.63 and a very good economy rate of 4.83. Back him to deliver a similar kind of performance once again.
Mayank Dagar to be Himachal Pradesh’s best bowler (Parimatch)
The third-highest wicket-taker for Himachal Pradesh in List A cricket history, Mayank Dagar has 63 wickets at an average of 35.6 with a strike rate of 42.3. Only Rishi Dhawan and Pankaj Jaswal have more wickets than him in Indian domestic cricket, making him such an important piece of bet for us. Then what are you waiting for? Go ahead and add a huge retainer on him.
