Cricket Free Tips | Vijay Hazare Trophy 2021, 3rd Quarter-Final: Uttar Pradesh vs Delhi

At the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh will face Delhi in the third quarter-final of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2020-21. Both teams have had a strong start in the tournament, as neither team has lost a game. Uttar Pradesh began with a convincing win over Karnataka before losing to Kerala in a close match. However, they have put in some impressive performances since then, winning big games. They came in second place in Group C and advanced directly to the quarter-finals.

On the other hand, Delhi had to qualify through a preliminary quarter-final against Uttarakhand despite winning four of their five games in the group stages. Anuj Rawat and skipper Pradeep Sangwan orchestrated a stunning comeback to help Delhi recover from 146 for 6 and chase down 288 runs. As a result, the Pradeep Sangwan-led team will be full of confidence and might begin as slight favourites in this knockout match.

Weather

During the match, the weather is expected to be sunny, with temperatures ranging from 28 to 48 degrees Celsius and humidity levels of 48%. For this match, there is no possibility of rain.

Pitch 

The Arun Jaitley Stadium’s track in Delhi has something for everyone. The batters will generally get a good bounce and play down the line.

There might be some movement with the new ball for the fast bowlers due to the early morning start. Meanwhile, the spinners can be able to obtain any transform.

Overall, it should be a decent track, with a score of about 280-290 likely to be appropriate.
