UP vs JHA Prediction: Who Will Win?
Who do you think will win?
Tap a team to vote.
It is close to a coin flip, but our pick is Uttar Pradesh, who come out marginally ahead at 50%.
The head-to-head record backs them too: Uttar Pradesh lead it 3-0. It is not one-way traffic, though: Jharkhand have the better recent form (four wins from their last five games, to one from five for Uttar Pradesh), so Jharkhand cannot be written off.
Sides batting second have done better at this ground, so expect the toss winner to bowl. A first-innings total of about 165 looks par for this game.
