TEAMS PREVIEW

Andhra Preview

Andhra are coming off a strong 29-run win against Assam, built on fighting contributions with the bat and a disciplined bowling display. Their innings began shakily, losing early wickets to slip to 19 for 4, but captain Ricky Bhui steadied the ship with a crucial 46 off 35 balls, holding the innings together under pressure. 

Useful middle-order contributions from Saurabh Kumar, Panduranga Raju, and KV Sasikanth pushed Andhra to a competitive total of 143 for 9. With the ball, Andhra were outstanding from the start. Cheepurapalli Stephen struck early and finished with 2 for 25, while Sasikanth kept things tight despite conceding a few boundaries. 

The standout was Satyanarayana Raju, who picked up 3 for 20 with excellent control. Prithvi Raj’s 2 for 12 sealed the deal as Andhra bowled out Assam for 114 in 19.4 overs, securing a well-deserved victory. 

Andhra Predicted Playing XI:

Srikar Bharat, Ashwin Hebbar, Shaik Rasheed, Pyla Avinash, Ricky Bhui, Saurabh Kumar, Panduranga Raju, KV Sasikanth, Satyanarayana Raju, Prithvi Raj, Cheepurapalli Stephen.

Odisha Preview

Odisha are coming off a disappointing 10-wicket loss to Kerala, highlighting struggles in both batting and bowling. While their top order showed some intent, with Swastik Samal scoring 20 and Gourav Choudhury making 29, they failed to maintain momentum. 

Subhranshu Senapati added a quick 15, and captain Biplab Samantray managed 53, but overall the team lost wickets at regular intervals, finishing at 176 for 7 in their 20 overs. Lower-order contributions were minimal, and a few batters, including Sourav Gouda and Prayash Singh, failed to make an impact under pressure.

Their bowling was equally ineffective in restricting Kerala’s chase. Rajesh Mohanty, Vageesh Sharma, Pappu Roy, and Badal Biswal all conceded runs at a high rate, unable to break partnerships or build pressure. Odisha will need to strengthen both departments to compete effectively against Andhra. 

Odisha Predicted Playing XI:

Swastik Samal, Gourav Choudhury, Subhranshu Senapati, Biplab Samantray, Sambit Baral, Prayash Singh, Sourav Gouda, Rajesh Mohanty, Pappu Roy, Vageesh Sharma, Badal Biswal.

Weather Conditions

Friday’s weather in Lucknow is expected to be sunny and warm, with temperatures around 26°C. Humidity stays moderate at 43 percent, and gentle winds near 8 km/h keep conditions pleasant. With no precipitation expected, it should be a bright sunny day.

Toss: To Bat
