HYA vs SRT Match Prediction & Analysis
Haryana will be looking for a quick comeback after their loss in the last game. The batting must bounce back to lead the team to a more competitive total this time around. Saurashtra’s recent win will boost their confidence coming into this match.
They chased down a massive target against Odisha with Sammar Gajjar and Chirag Jani leading the effort in the middle and lower order. However, Saurashtra will face a stronger challenge as they face Haryana in this game.
Haryana’s Sumit Kumar, Anuj Thakral, and Amit Rana will pose a tough challenge to Saurashtra with the ball. Haryana’s overall squad strength makes them a solid all-round side. There is a great variety in the bowling attack, along with depth in the batting.
Saurashtra will be concerned about their bowling effort, however. The captain will expect a better outing from Chetan Sakariya and DA Jadeja, two of their key players in the bowling department.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Haryana Preview
Haryana ticks all the right boxes as far as their squad strength is concerned. They’ve got the all-rounder Rahul Tewatia at number 6, who can be a game-changer with the bat. While he failed to deliver in the last game, his experience and skillset make him an asset for the side.
The number 3 batter, Himanshu Rana, lived up to the expectations with a brilliant hundred, while others, including skipper Ankit Kumar, couldn’t make any significant contributions.
The opening duo of Yuvraj Singh and Ankit Kumar must find a way to find their rhythm and build a strong opening partnership. For Haryana to bounce back with the bat, the top 3 must come good in this match.
The middle order features Yashvardhan Dalal and Parth Vats, both of whom are reliable batters. Vats was in fine touch against the Railways in the recent match, scoring a steady half-century at number 5. With Rahul Tewatia and Sumit Kumar to follow, there is no dearth of batting talent in this side.
In the bowling attack, Tewatia hasn’t been used, but others like Sumit Kumar, Anuj Thakral, and Amit Rana were all brilliant even while defending a 267-run total. Anshul Kamboj was expensive, and the team will expect a better performance from the medium pacer in this game.
Haryana Predicted Playing XI:
Ankit Kumar (c), Yuvraj Yogender Singh, Himanshu Rana, Yashvardhan Dalal (wk), Parth Vats, Rahul Tewatia, Sumit Kumar, Bhuwan Rohilla, Amit Rana, Anshul Kamboj, Anuj Thakral

Saurashtra Preview
Saurashtra are off to a brilliant start in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26 season. Despite losing early wickets, they managed to bounce back and chase down a massive total in their last match. Chirag Jani was exceptional. He delivered impactful performances with both bat and ball.
He picked up 2 for 52 in his 9 Overs and later scored 86 off 55 balls at number 6 to lead Saurashtra to a brilliant win. Skipper Harvik Desai and Vishwaraj Jadeja are the key players in the top order. Jadeja scored a fifty while the skipper was out cheaply, but the two are reliable, and we expect them to come good in this game.
All eyes will be on Samar Gajjar, who scored an unbeaten hundred in the last game at number 4. The middle order is pretty solid with many game-changing players. Prerak Mankad, Chirag Jani, and Ruchit Ahir add depth to this batting lineup and will make it difficult for Haryana to get through this batting order quickly.
Saurashtra did not have a great season last year, but they look very promising after the recent win. They’ve got the squad strength and will need consistency to reach the knockouts. In the bowling department, Chetan Sakariya is one to watch out for.
He is a promising left-arm pacer who can be crucial in the powerplay. Ankur Pawar and Prerak Mankad are other key bowlers in this squad. DA Jadeja, the left-arm orthodox bowler, will lead the spin-bowling for Saurashtra. His form is crucial for Saurashtra’s success.
Saurashtra Predicted Playing XI:
Harvik Desai (c) (wk), Jay Gohil, Chirag Jani, Ruchit Ahir, Vishvaraj Jadeja, Parth Bhut, Prerak Mankad, Dharmendrasinh Jadeja, Sammar Gajjar, Ankur Panwar, Chetan Sakariya

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
It will be mostly cloudy in the morning and likely to stay sunny throughout the day with a high of 25 degrees Celsius. We don’t expect any rain interruptions during the game. It will be a great day for cricket in Alur.
HYA vs SRT Pitch Report
It seems to be a batting-friendly wicket, going by the previous matches played here in the 2019-20 season of the Vijay Hazare Trophy. The average first innings score in the 4 VHT matches played in that season is 336 runs. With the current form and batting strengths of both teams, we reckon that the team batting first will need at least 330 or more runs on the board to be in a competitive position.
Toss: To Bat
The last time a one-day match was played on this ground was in 2021 during the Senior Women’s One Day Trophy. The last Vijay Hazare Trophy game played here was in 2019, where Mumbai successfully defended 353 runs against Jharkhand. Teams batting first have won 3 of the 5 one-day domestic matches played at this venue. Both teams have a strong batting lineup, and the captains should be looking to post a massive total on the board while batting first.
HYA vs SRT
Winning Prediction
It will be a closely fought game between two equally matched teams. However, we expect Haryana to bounce back in this match. Though they had a poor start compared to the brilliant run-chase of Saurashtra, we think Haryana will make a strong comeback in this match, considering their overall squad strength. Haryana will start as favorites in our match prediction.
