Match Preview
Maharashtra have had a mixed campaign so far, with winning and then losing becoming a pattern for them. However, they come into this game on the back of a win over Bihar by three wickets, and with Prithvi Shaw and Jalaj Saxena in their ranks, they will be looking to continue their winning run.
Meanwhile, Madhya Pradesh are also on a similar journey, having won two and lost two of their four games, but with a better run rate they sit above Maharashtra in the standings. Their two-match winning run was halted by Goa in the previous game, where they suffered a seven-wicket defeat. With a solid middle order featuring Rajat Patidar and Venkatesh Iyer, they will be aiming to return to winning ways.
Prithvi Shaw, who bats in the top order and has been in fine touch with 146 runs so far, is a strong captaincy pick given his attacking style. Meanwhile, Venkatesh Iyer, with his ability to contribute with both bat and ball, can be a good option for vice-captaincy.
