In a Round IV Elite Group C match of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021, Rajasthan and Andhra will lock horns at the Alembic 2 Cricket Ground in Vadodara on Monday.
Rajasthan have been incredible in the three matches they have played in the tournament thus far. They registered a hat-trick of wins, and are racing towards the knockout stage. They need a few more wins to top the table, and bag a quarter-final spot.
Deepak Hooda has been promising on his debut for Rajasthan. Mahipal Lomror and Tanveer Ul Haq have been exceptional, with more than 100 runs and five wickets respectively in three innings. However, Rajasthan need more players to come up with such performances.
Meanwhile, Andhra have got a better team this time around, registering two victories in three contests thus far. They kickstarted their campaign with a win over J&K by 36 runs. They looked in commendable form in that contest.
However, they were off track in their second clash against Haryana, which they lost by six wickets. They quickly bounced back to bag an eight-run win over Jharkhand, though.
