A bright, sunny day is expected on matchday. Humidity could be 45% while the wind is expected to be 11 km/h. It will be a good day for the match, where there is no possibility of any weather disruption in the game.
The pitch at Ahmedabad's Gujarat College Ground is usually good for batters, though it gives spin bowlers chances to get wickets in the first innings. But as the game goes on, the pitch conditions change a little bit, and it becomes a great place for batsmen to hit the ball and score runs quickly. This could make things a little hard for the bowlers in the second innings, but if they bowl on a good line and length, they can get wickets.
The last nine Vijay Hazare Trophy matches played here show that it has been an excellent ground for batsmen. In which the highest score at this venue has been 354, while the lowest has been 174. The average score achieved at this venue is 253. Moreover, out of the six matches played this season, teams have scored 280-plus runs eight times.
In the last nine games played here, the team that bowled first won seven times and the team that batted first won only two times. This shows that this is a great place for a run-chase ground, and captains who win the toss will definitely want to bowl first.
Jharkhand have consistently performed well and will look to improve their quarter-final chances by winning this match. Apart from this, they also have an excellent record against Tripura, where they have achieved one-sided victories. Therefore, Jharkhand will definitely be the favourite to win this match.
Jharkhand to beat Tripura easily.
