VDB vs RJS Match Prediction & Analysis
It is going to be a close contest between Vidarbha and Rajasthan at the Moti Bagh Stadium in Vadodara. The last match played here saw Haryana score 298 while batting first.
However, before this season, it had been a very low-scoring venue in the previous editions of the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Both teams have their key batters in great form and we expect them to lead their sides to competitive scores.
Karun Nair has scored three hundreds in his last three outings. For Rajasthan, Abhijit Tomar at the top and Kartik Sharma and Samarpit Joshi in the middle will be the key players to watch out for.
There is great depth in the Rajasthan batting lineup and they’ve got a variety of players who can step up and deliver big. There are some promising players in both sides in every department and it is not easy to pick a winner between the two.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Vidarbha Preview
Darshan Nalkande will be expected to lead with early wickets for Vidarbha to put the team on top of the game. Pacers were impressive on this wicket in the last match here and we expect the likes of Yash Thakur and Nachiket Bhute to also find success in this match.
Karun Nair will be looking to continue his sublime form and post another big score leading the team to a big score in a knockout game. He’s got the of opening batsman Yash Rathod who scored an unbeaten 138 runs against UP in a recent match.
In recent outings, it is mostly the top-order that has scored the majority of runs for Vidarbha. Nair will be hoping for his lower middle order to step up and score big in case the top-order collapses.
They’ve got Jitesh Sharma at number 4 followed by Shubham Dubey and Yash Thakur. It looks like the top 4 will have to do most of the run-scoring job for Vidarbha.
While Dubey is handy with the bat and has made a decent contribution against Tamil Nadu, it is up to Nair, Dhruv Shorey, and Yash Rathod to set the stage and build partnerships for Vidarbha.
Vidarbha Predicted Playing XI:
Dhruv Shorey, Karun Nair (c), Yash Rathod, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Shubham Dubey, Yash Thakur, Apoorv Wankhade, Parth Rekhade, Darshan Nalkande, Harsh Dubey, Nachiket Bhute
Vidarbha Actual Playing XI:
Karun Nair, Shubham Dubey, Yash Rathod, Jitesh Sharma, Dhruv Shorey, Apoorv Wankhade, Nachiket Bhute, Harsh Dubey, Darshan Nalkande, Yash Thakur, Yash Kadam
Rajasthan Preview
Rajasthan have been quite successful this season and except for their recent loss against Sikkim, there’s not much they will regret. Right after that loss, where most of their top-order batters failed, Rajasthan quickly bounced back to win the preliminary quarter-final against Tamil Nadu.
Abhijit Tomar scored a hundred opening for the side while skipper Mahipal Lomror was part of a crucial 2nd wicket partnership with his 60 off 49 balls.
Rajasthan made big changes to their top order in the last game. They replaced Shubham Garhwal and Sumit Godara with Abhijit Tomar and Sachin Yadav. They’ve constantly been changing their opening combination.
Kartik Sharma, who scored a hundred against the Railways at number 5 was sent to number 3 in the next match and back to number 5 in the preliminary quarter-final. Rajasthan have been making way too many changes to the batting order.
Nevertheless, they have many promising batters in the side. What they need is for their top-order players to convert their starts into something big. Deepak Hooda is one to watch out for. He has struggled to get going in recent matches and is a key batsman for Rajasthan.
The batting order is very deep with some handy batters lower down the order. Khaleel Ahmed will lead the pace attack along with Aniket Choudhary. They’ve also got Rahul Chahar and Kukna Ajay Singh in the spin department to deliver timely breakthroughs.
Rajasthan Predicted Playing XI:
Abhijeet Tomar, Sachin Yadav, Kartik Sharma (wk), Deepak Hooda, Mahipal Lomror (c), Samarpit Joshi, Aman Singh Shekhawat, Manav Suthar, Kukna Ajay Singh, Khaleel Ahmed, Aniket Choudhary

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
It will be a clear and sunny day in Vadodara with a high of 27 degrees Celsius. There should be no weather interruptions during the match and we can expect an exciting thriller between two quality sides.
VDB vs RJS Pitch Report
It has been a bowling paradise in the past. However, the recent game showed there was some help for the batters. The pitch looks much improved than before and we expect a better outing for the batters in this game. Nevertheless, the bowlers will continue dominating on this ground and will be the key players. The average 1st innings score in the last 5 matches is 167 runs. However, we reckon, with the improved wicket, the team batting first should aim for at least 270 runs to be in a competitive position.
Toss: To Bowl
Though the team batting first won the last match here, in the previous edition of the tournament, teams bowling first had won 8 of the 10 games played here. Both teams have a strong batting lineup with in-form players and should back themselves to chase down a target.
VDB vs RJS
Winning Prediction
The depth in the batting lineup is a big plus for Rajasthan. However, they will be tested against a quality bowling attack of Vidarbha. Moreover, Rajasthan’s inconsistency can be a major concern for them in this game. Vidarbaha’s in-form skipper along with the consistent top-order puts them slightly ahead in the contest. Though they are also vulnerable, their bowling attack makes up for it giving the side a great balance. Vidarbha will start as favorites in our match prediction.
