THE PREDICTION
With just one win from their four Group D games, Services have been eliminated from this year’s Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy already and are playing only for pride against Madhya Pradesh, who must win by a high enough margin to qualify for the knockout stage as group winners. Madhya Pradesh will be forced to play aggressive from ball one with the bat in order to boost their net run rate, however on a good batting pitch at the Holkar Cricket Stadium, this shouldn’t pose as much of a challenge. When taking into account the depth of Madhya Pradesh’s batting with the likes of Venkatesh Iyer and Rajat Patidar in good form, they are expected to overwhelm Services here and pick up the victory needed that they hope will be enough to secure knockout qualification.
