Jammu and Kashmir are currently sitting in sixth place in Group B with three wins and three losses. They have lost two matches in a row and are in desperate need of a big win in their final fixture to ensure qualification to the next round.
Skipper Shubham Khajuria has led the charge with the bat, scoring 149 runs in four innings at an average of 37.25 and a strike rate of 130. Yawer Hassan has provided him company in the middle order, collecting 145 runs in four innings at an average of 36.25 and a strike rate of 141.
Qamran Iqbal is another one worth backing, smashing 134 runs at a strike rate of 113.
In the bowling department, Auqib Nabi has been the standout with 12 wickets in six matches at an economy of 7.88. Yudhvir Singh and Murugan Ashwin have also been pretty consistent, taking 16 wickets combined. This bowling unit has done a pretty decent job so far, but it will face a challenge against a stronger unit like MP.

Madhya Pradesh are sitting comfortably in second place with four wins and two losses. They have been solid overall and are well within reach of a top-two finish, which will ensure direct qualification to the next round.
Harpreet Singh tops their batting charts with 198 runs in six innings at an average of 40 and a strike rate of 135.
The other standout is Harsh Gawali, who has plundered 196 runs in six matches at an average of 39.20 and a strike rate of 128.
Opener Ankush Singh is another crucial member of this batting lineup, having scored 101 runs in six matches at 148.52. We are expecting another quick start of around 25-30 runs from him here at a strike rate of 130+.
Meanwhile, Arshad Khan and Tripuresh Singh have been the stars of MP’s bowling attack, taking eight wickets each. Shivam Shukla and Rahul Batham have also looked steady, with 14 scalps combined. This lineup should be able to apply consistent pressure on the opposition.
Ankush Singh, Rahul Batham, Harsh Gawali(w), Harpreet Singh Bhatia, Rajat Patidar(c), Venkatesh Iyer, Aniket Verma, Tripuresh Singh, Shivam Shukla, Kumar Kartikeya, Arshad Khan

Evening sessions at Eden Gardens typically offer a hard surface with true bounce that allows batters to score freely under lights. Boundaries are on the shorter side, which rewards good strikes, especially during the first 6 to 8 overs. Later in the match, the pitch often loses some pace, giving spinners a chance to extract grip and turn. Should dew become a factor late on, teams batting second may find scoring becomes simpler.
The weather in Kolkata will be cool and pleasant throughout the day.
First innings at Eden Gardens usually yield around 170 runs. In this season of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2025, the venue has generally seen first innings scores of around 150-170 runs. This shows that a target of around 180 will be needed here to challenge the chasing side.
Chasing is usually the preferred option at Eden Gardens and this was seen in the last six matches of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2025, four of which were won easily by the chasing side. Thus, the team winning the toss will look to bowl first in this game.
Madhya Pradesh have started their season on a promising note and will look for another win here to seal their qualification to the next round, and end in the top two in Group B. While Jammu and Kashmir have a few promising players who can produce match-winning efforts, MP appear to have a more balanced unit and are the safer bets for this clash.
We are backing Madhya Pradesh as the winners of this clash.
