Ankit Kumar and his team have done well this season. They defeated Assam by 9 wickets in the last game, with an excellent bowling performance. However, Ankit Kumar would like to see better efforts from his batsmen in this game as they struggled in the 1st innings. They face the table toppers in the game and need to pull up their socks.
Ankit Kumar has enjoyed a good run this season, and he must lead from the front and deliver a good start with Yuvraj Yogender Singh. The middle order struggled in the last game, and the team needs runs from Himanshu Rana, Dheeru Singh, and Parth Vats. Ashish Siwach and Anuj Thakral must contribute in the lower middle order.
The bowling attack did brilliantly in the last game. Anshul Kamboj and Aman Kumar troubled the batters with the new ball, and the team expects early strikes from the pair. Anuj Thakral and Nikhil Kashyap must keep the scoring in check in the middle overs. The team expects a strong performance from Tanmay Baloda in the supporting role.

Abhimanyu Easwaran and his team are in rock-solid form. They defeated Services by an innings and 46 runs in the last game. They dominated with the bat and shall look to build on the momentum. The side also has a strong pace attack. But Haryana is a formidable opponent, and Easwaran expects a strong show from his players.
Sudip Chatterjee hit a double hundred in the last game, and he will look to deliver a steady start with Abhimanyu Easwaran. Sudip Gharami, Anustup Majumdar, and Shahbaz Ahmed are strong middle-order batters and shall look to build partnerships. The team expects runs in the lower middle order from Sumanta Gupta and Shakir H Gandhi.
Mohammed Shami adds an X-factor to the attack, and he will look to strike early alongside Mukesh Kumar. Suraj Sindhu Jaiswal looks in good form, and he will look to trouble the batters in the middle order with Akash Deep. Shahbaz Ahmed and Anustup Majumdar add depth to this attack.

We expect clear skies over Rohtak. The wicket shall be flat, allowing batsmen to play their strokes freely. There won't be much on this track for the fast bowlers, and the average first-innings score here has been 267 runs. The side batting first will need 350 runs or more in the first innings to feel comfortable.
Bansi Lal Cricket Stadium has deep boundaries and a flat surface, balancing the contest between the bat and the ball. The wicket is flat, allowing batsmen to play on the up. Fast bowlers have been successful, and spinners also enjoy bowling here as the deep boundaries offer them additional protection.
The conditions here are best for batting on the first two days. The wicket breaks in the last two days, making run chases difficult. The team winning the toss would look to bat first and put up a big score in the 1st innings.
Haryana has done well this season, showing consistency with the ball. However, the team has a few issues with the middle order. They are up against a strong pace attack and need to do well in the middle. Bengal hasn't lost a game this season and has a strong pack of fast bowlers. Based on the two teams' recent form, Bengal will have the upper hand.
