Gujarat will play Uttar Pradesh in the 1st semi-final of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2021. Gujarat has yet to lose in this tournament. They won all five matches they played in the league stage, and in the quarter-finals, they defeated Andhra Pradesh by 117 runs. They’ll be hoping to keep their winning streak going in this upcoming match as well.
On the other hand, Uttar Pradesh only lost one match during the league stage and finished second in the points table. They defeated Delhi by 46 runs in their most recent game. We should expect a high-scoring match between these two elite teams in this game.
Weather
It will be a sunny day in Delhi, with temperatures ranging from 26 to 52 degrees Celsius and humidity levels of 52%. For this match, there is no possibility of rainfall.
Pitch
So far, the Arun Jaitley Stadium has hosted three Vijay Hazare Trophy games. It’s a batting-friendly wicket because the ball comes typically on nicely to the bat. At the venue, the scores have been 287, 299, and 280 when batting first. While a chasing team won one game, the other two were defeated by the team batting first. Quick bowlers are likely to receive some assistance early on, and spinners will find some turn as the match progresses. Overall, a total of 280-300 could win this game.
