In the fourth quarterfinal of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021, Bihar and Rajasthan are all set to play. Bihar was the better side in comparison to anyone in their group. They completed the group stage with five wins in five games. At the moment, their bowling attack has some severe options to offer nightmares to any batting order. However, they haven’t chased many big targets yet, and that might be the only thing they’re going to be careful about.
On the other side, by topping the Elite Group D, Rajasthan is coming into the knockout stage. They won four matches in five games and look pretty healthy to be the favourites for this game. With world-class spinners Rahul Chahar and Ravi Bishnoi, their bowling attack has got some big names. However, they would expect to improve their consistency with the bat against a side that has been outstanding throughout the tournament with the ball.
Weather
It will be another brilliant evening at Motera for a cricket match with zero rain chances throughout the entire match period. At the end of the game, the temperature will drop from 22°C to 18°C degrees Celsius.
Pitch
It is anticipated to have a similar kind of surface to those seen in the first two quarterfinals. With the pitch getting slower as the match going, the pacers can get some movement early on. The team who wins the toss is going to look to bat second.
