Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2023, Chandigarh vs Odisha Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, Live Streaming Details
Chandigarh will take on Odisha in what is expected to be a mid-table battle in Group B at Mumbai on October 27.
Chandigarh and Odisha are tied at 12 points with 3 wins from 6 games each. Chandigarh is in 3rd place, and they are ahead of Odisha thanks to a superior net run rate. Both teams are coming off defeats in their previous encounters.
Chandigarh went down against Services, another team that is tied at 12 points. Batting first, Chandigarh managed to score 127/8, which Services managed to chase with four balls remaining. Raj Bawa was the top scorer with 32 runs and also picked up a wicket in the only over he bowled.
Bawa’s all-round skills might prove to be the trump card against Odisha. The experienced Sandeep Sharma, who leaked runs at an economy of 13.7 in the last game, will look to make breakthroughs with the new ball.
Odisha was flattened by table-toppers Kerala, with Tarini Sa (3 wickets) and Subhranshu Senapati (37 runs) being the lone performers. They will want a better performance from the experienced duo of Debabrata Pradhana and Sunil Roul, who leaked runs at 11 runs per over against Kerala.
Odisha’s opening duo of Sandeep Pattnaik and Prayash Singh will have to provide a solid platform, which they have not been able to do so far. Odisha would want their CSK recruit, Subhranshu Senapati, to continue his good form and score a big one.
Chandigarh would want more from the experienced duo of Manan Vohra and Sandeep Sharma, who are yet to shine this season. Both teams will be looking to win the contest, as a win here will guarantee them a spot in the top 4 of the group and a probable top 3 finish.

Chandigarh vs Odisha match prediction
Chandigarh has a stronger side on paper, and Odisha has punched above their weight. There is little to differentiate between the performances of both sides so far in this tournament.
The team batting first is likely to have the upper hand. Odisha skittled Bihar for 113 on this ground, and Chandigarh managed to score just 127 against Services on this ground in their previous game.
Both teams have exposure to the conditions, with Odisha making the most of it so far. But Chandigarh, with the experienced individuals in the squad, has a slight upper hand.
Prediction: Chandigarh to win this contest.
