Chintan Gaja will be happy with his side's performance in the first game. They defeated Assam by 36 runs in a high-scoring contest.

Kshitij Patel and Priyank Panchal failed to convert their starts in the last game, and they will look to set up a big partnership. Het Patel and Kshitij Patel will look to do well in the middle order with Saurav Chauhan, whose hundred helped them win against Assam. Chirag Gandhi and Piyush Chawla add strength to the lower middle order.  

Arzan Nagwaswalla and Chintan Gaja must bowl tight spells with the new ball, as Rajasthan batsmen will come hard at them. Piyush Chawla was brilliant in the middle overs and will look to do the same with Jayveer Parmar and Vishal Jayswal. Kathan Patel will look to do well in the supporting role.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The skies over Chandigarh will be clear on June 29. The wicket is a belter, and the ball has come onto the bat nicely. Spinners have troubled the batsmen using the slowness of the surface. The side that bats first in this game would need more than 320 runs to feel safe on this wicket. 

Venue Details

Government Model Senior Secondary School has a small ground and paradise for batsmen. It allows batsmen to hit the ball in the air carefree. Fast bowlers get some assistance from the surface, but this venue has been harsh on the spinners.

Toss: To Bat

Big scores are made at this venue, and sides batting first have an advantage. It is a small ground, and posting a big total adds to the advantage of the side batting first. Thus, the side winning the toss here would opt to bat first upon winning the toss.
