ASM vs UTP Match Prediction & Analysis
Assam and Uttar Pradesh will go head-to-head at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot. UP will be all set to continue their batting momentum and post another big score playing on a high-scoring venue.
Assam, on the other hand, having won their recent match, will be confident with the bat as they chased down a 300+ total against Hyderabad. Sibsankar Roy will be a key player in the middle order for Assam. After two consecutive batting failures, Assam have finally managed to find their rhythm.
Will they manage to continue their form and post another 300+ total against the mighty Uttar Pradesh? UP has an exceptional bowling attack that has outplayed the opposition in two of their three matches. Zeeshan Ansari, Prashant Veer, and Kartik Tyagi are the key wicket-takers for UP.
Assam will need their top-order batsman, Saurav Dihingia, to continue his form and deliver another impactful knock in this match. There are others in the lower middle order who’ve shown great promise in their recent win, and skipper Sumit Ghadigaonkar will be hopeful of a great outing in this match.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Assam Preview
Sumit Ghadigaonkar will be happy to have others in the batting lineup find their form and make big contributions in the recent game. Ghadigaonkar scored two consecutive fifties in the first two matches and was out cheaply in the last game.
Opening batsman Saurav Dihingia rose to the occasion with a brilliant 92-run knock, while the middle-order batter Sibsankar Roy scored a brilliant hundred to lead Assam’s run-chase against Hyderabad.
Roy and Dihingia added 142 runs for the 3rd wicket. After Dihingia was dismissed, Roy and the number 5 batsman Denish Das built a 93-run partnership for the 4th wicket to put Assam in a comfortable position in the run chase.
This has certainly raised hopes for Assam going ahead in the tournament. However, they are up against a strong and in-form bowling attack of Uttar Pradesh. Assam will need to bring their A-game in this match to stand a chance of winning.
Abdul Ajij Kuraishi, Ayushman Malakar, and Denish Das will be the key wicket-takers to watch out for. There haven’t been any consistent performers in the bowling attack except Malakar. He is the only one to feature consistently in the XI and also to find a breakthrough.
The bowling will be a major concern for Assam going into this match, and the lack of reliable and consistent performers could put them behind in this contest.
Assam Predicted Playing XI:
Saurav Dihingia, Pradyun Saikia, Swarupam Purkayastha, Sumit Ghadigaonkar (c) (wk), Denish Das, Sibsankar Roy, Nihar Deka, Ayushman Malakar, Mukhtar Hussain, Avinov Choudhury, Abdul Ajij Kuraishi

Uttar Pradesh Preview
Uttar Pradesh are coming into this match strong with back-to-back wins. The last time they played a game on this ground in Rajkot, UP scored 324 runs while batting first and won the match by a margin of 84 runs.
Dhruv Jurel scored 80 off 61 balls at number 3 in that game, and he was the top batter in the recent win against Baroda with an unbeaten 160-run knock. Jurel will be one to watch out for in this game. He is a match-winning player for UP in the top order.
The batting lineup only gets stronger with every position in the order. Following Jurel at number 3, they’ve got Sameer Rizvi and skipper Rinku Singh at 4 and 5.
Rinku Singh has scored 63, 106, and 67 in his last 3 innings for UP. In the top order, Aryan Juyal and Abhishek Goswami are other promising players who’ve already delivered impactful knocks for the side.
UP will pose a tough challenge to the inconsistent Assam bowling. Skipper Singh will back his players to bat first and post a massive total that will put them far ahead in the contest.
The likes of Kunal Tyagi, Zeeshan Ansari, and Prashant Veer can do a fine job of putting Assam on the back foot with regular breakthroughs. There is a great variety in the bowling attack, and the skipper will have plenty of options to regulate his bowlers.
Uttar Pradesh Predicted Playing XI:
Abhishek Goswami, Aryan Juyal, Dhruv Jurel (wk), Sameer Rizvi, Rinku Singh (c), Prashant Veer, Priyam Garg, Vipraj Nigam, Zeeshan Ansari, Kunal Tyagi, Vaibhav Chaudhary

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The day is likely to start with clear and sunny skies with a high of 28 degrees Celsius, but in the afternoon, we expect light rain followed by a chance of showers in the evening in Rajkot. These conditions will likely affect the game, and we might lose a few overs from both innings.
ASM vs UTP Pitch Report
It is a great wicket for batting, and there are plenty of runs on offer at the Niranjan Shah Stadium. Bengal successfully chased down a 320-run target in the last match here. The average first innings score in the last 3 games at this venue is 328 runs. We reckon that the team batting first should aim for 335 or more runs to be in a winning position in this game.
Toss: To Bat
Teams batting first have won 2 of the 3 matches played on this ground so far this season. While the batters have dominated in the first innings of the game, it hasn’t always been easy to chase down a 300+ total at this venue in recent games. As a result, batting first and having a massive total on the board will be a great strategy for winning this match.
ASM vs UTP
Winning Prediction
Assam look promising after their recent win over Hyderabad. However, their bowling department lacks reliable and consistent performers, and to face the mighty batting lineup of Uttar Pradesh on a high-scoring venue is an uphill battle. UP will have the upperhand going into this match with their overall squad strength and current form, and will start as favorites in our match prediction.
