Jharkhand vs Rajasthan Match Winner Prediction
Jharkhand enter this contest as the favourites to win, despite their loss in the last match against Karnataka. After posting 412 runs batting first, Jharkhand couldn't defend the target, which shows the lack of consistency and discipline from their bowlers on good batting tracks.
Rajasthan after a good stint in the SMAT, couldn't replicate that in the 50-over format, as they failed to chase down 288 runs against Madhya Pradesh. Both teams coming off a loss will look to regroup and come out on top in this fixture.
Our Prediction: Jharkhand to Win!
