Uttar Pradesh and Hyderabad will lock horns in a Round V Elite Group E match of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021 at the Gurgaon Cricket Ground (SRNCC), Sultanpur, on Tuesday.
Uttar Pradesh have been quite inconsistent in the tournament. Though they started their campaign with a win over Chandigarh by 22 runs, they lost against Saurashtra by two runs.

Middle-order batters Rinku Singh and Karan Sharma have led the charge on the batting front for Uttar Pradesh. Shivam Mavi has looked in good touch with the ball, and he is expected to continue that in this game.
Meanwhile, Hyderabad have been unstoppable in the tournament, registering successive convincing wins over Saurashtra, Uttarakhand, Chandigarh and Delhi. The team led by Hanuma Vihari looks very strong this season as they eye an elusive title.
Tanmay Agarwal has been in red-hot form for the side, scoring 240 runs in just four innings. He is currently the leading run-scorer in the tournament, which should inspire the team to better their performances.
