Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021, Uttar Pradesh vs Uttarakhand: Probable XIs, match prediction, weather forecast and pitch report

Uttar Pradesh will take on Uttarakhand in an Elite Group E game of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021 at the Gurugram Cricket Ground (SRNCC) on Monday.

Uttar Pradesh didn't start their campaign the way they would have expected to. The team looked pretty strong on paper, but they have won just one of their three games. Their lone win came against Chandigarh by 22 runs.

They lost against Saurashtra and Delhi by two runs and nine wickets, respectively. However, all is not lost for Uttar Pradesh, as they still have time to recover and advance to the next stage of the tournament.

Uttarakhand, meanwhile, are winless so far after losing to Delhi, Hyderabad and Saurashtra in their three games in the tournament. The team has looked a bit awry in all departments of the game. They need to bounce back quickly to stay in the reckoning.
