Match Details:
The fourth quarter-final match of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021 will be played between Bihar and Rajasthan at the Sardar Patel Stadium, Motera, Ahmedabad.
This match is scheduled to start at 7:00 PM IST (01:30 PM GMT) and will be telecasted on Sony Sports Network.
Preview:
Bihar and Rajasthan are all set to play the fourth quarter-final of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021. Bihar was clearly the better side in comparison to anyone in their group. They finished the group stage with five wins in five games. Their bowling attack possesses some serious options to give nightmares to any batting order at the moment. However, they haven’t chased many big targets yet and that might be the only thing they will be wary of.
On the other side, Rajasthan are coming into the knockout stage by topping the Elite Group D. They won four matches in five games and are looking pretty strong to be the favourites for this game. Their bowling attack got some big names with the likes of world-class spinners Rahul Chahar and Ravi Bishnoi. However, they would be expecting to improve their consistency with the bat against a side who has been excellent with the ball throughout the tournament. Overall, Rajasthan are clear favourites to get through to the next round.

Pitch Report:
The fourth quarter-final will be played on a used deck which will assist the spinners in the latter half of the game. It did have some layering of grass in the first game and will be better to bat in the fourth game. Batting first should be the priority for the team winning the toss.
