THE PREDICTION

A crucial match in Group C of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy as Himachal Pradesh take on Uttarakhand with the loser here suffering a potentially fatal block to their hopes of knockout qualification. Uttarakhand kept their hopes alive following two successive defeats, with a six-wicket victory over Maharashtra thanks largely to a vital 69 not out from Jay Bista. They’ll need to carry that winning momentum into this match to beat Himachal Pradesh, who comfortably beat Gujarat by 26 runs in the third round of Group C games. Individual quality could prove the difference here in what will likely be a tight finish and Himachal Pradesh, with all-rounder and captain Rishi Dhawan, alongside slow left arm spin bowler Mayank Dagar look like they have the tools within their side to narrowly edge what could be a thriller in Vadodara.
