Tanmay Agarwal has been the most successful batter for Hyderabad this year, scoring 210 runs in 4 matches at an average of 52.50.

Rahul Buddhi, who scored a fine 80 off 87 balls in the previous match against Services, has shown he can be a useful batter lower down the order.

Among the bowlers, Ravi Teja (6 wickets in 4 innings) and Rakshan Readdi (5 wickets in 4 innings) have stood out.

Maharashtra Preview

Maharashtra has had a decent season so far, with wins against Services and Meghalaya and defeats against Jharkhand and Vidarbha. They trumped Meghalaya in their previous game, chasing a target of 228 with almost 10 overs to spare.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

This isn’t a batting paradise, and there’s some help for the seam bowlers in the morning. Seamers will be able to move the ball around a bit and spinners will get some help too. However, it does get easier to bat on in the afternoon.

The weather in Jaipur will be mostly hazy throughout the day.
 

Venue Details

This isn’t a high-scoring venue, and the highest total posted here this season is 301-7 by Services against Chhattisgarh. Since then, there hasn’t been a 200-plus total posted here in three matches. 

Toss: To Bowl

Three of the four matches played at the Jaipuria Vidyalaya Ground this season have been won by the chasing side. The team winning the toss is likely to bowl first.
