JKD vs MHA Team Previews

Jharkhand

Unlike Maharashtra, Jharkhand is going into this game after a loss they had to endure against Rajasthan. In one of the Group D games played at Mullanpur yesterday, Rajasthan batted first to score 161 runs for the loss of 8 wickets from their quota of 20 overs. The Jharkhand team made a valiant attempt at winning this game but they fell short in the end by a margin of 18 runs. The Jharkhand batters batted out their quota of 20 overs but managed to score just 143 runs for the loss of 7 wickets from them.

Rajasthan succeeded in reaching a score of 161 runs thanks mainly to the efforts of their top order against the Jharkhand bowlers. They looked good for more runs but the Jharkhand bowlers did a wonderful restriction job on them to reduce their score to a gettable one. The pick of the bowlers for Jharkhand was Rahul Shukla who picked up 3 wickets for 23 runs from his quota of 4 overs. The opening ball bowler Vikash Singh also picked up 2 wickets for 34 runs from his 4 overs. The Jharkhand team management will be expecting these bowlers to repeat their performance in this game as well.

The Jharkhand reply did not go too well. They were quickly reduced to 3 for 21 in 4.1 overs with the top order failing to provide a good start. The Jharkhand skipper Virat Singh contributed a valiant 31 from 29 balls with 3 fours and a six to accelerate the scoring a bit. But it was not enough to get the side within sight of a win. Supriyo Chakraborty made a great effort playing in the lower middle order towards the end. He hit a cameo of 38 runs from 21 balls that kept the Jharkhand hopes alive till the end but a win was not possible in the end for Jharkhand.

Maharashtra

Unlike Jharkhand, the Maharashtra team is going into this game with a victory against Puducherry. This Group D encounter between Puducherry and Maharashtra was played in Mohali yesterday. The Puducherry team batted first to score 141 runs for the loss of 7 wickets. The Maharashtra team batted second and chased this target with relative ease for the loss of just two wickets. The target of 142 runs from 20 overs was achieved in 14.1 overs. It was an all-round performance from the Maharashtra team and they succeeded in chasing the target with 35 balls to spare.

The Puducherry inning got off to a disastrous start. They lost the first couple of wickets for just 4 runs in 1.1 overs. They never really fully recover from the early setbacks. Arshin Kulkarni, Prashant Solanki, and Satyajeet Bachchav picked up a couple of wickets apiece for Maharashtra. Arshin Kulkarni returned with the figures of 4-0-38-2 while Solanki and Bachchav gave away 8 and 29 runs respectively. Prashant Solanki more specifically gave away just 8 runs from his 4 overs and was the pick of the bowlers.

Maharashtra also lost an early wicket during their chase with Mandar Bhandari going back early in the second over with just 5 runs on the board. But, after that, there was a good partnership built by Arshin Kulkarni and Ankit Bawne. Kulkarni scored 47 runs from 22 balls with 4 fours and 4 sixes while Ankit Bawne hit 81 from 45 balls with 8 fours and 5 sixes. Ankit Bawne remained not out and ensured that the Maharashtra team got across the line comfortably in the end. The Maharashtrian skipper will expect a similar performance from his batters in this game as well.

Both these teams are evenly matched. They have almost a similar record in the league stages of the competition as they are sitting on 8 points each. But Maharashtra has a better net run rate and is in the second spot in the points tally at the moment compared to Jharkhand who are in 4th position. We reckon Maharashtra has an edge in this game because they won their last game in the competition. So, we will bet with Maharashtra to win this encounter.
