First the batsmen and then the spinners will get help.
The match is being held on a red clay pitch. Along with good pace, there is also bounce on the pitch. The flat pitch is suitable for the batsmen right now. Spinners may get help on the pitch on the third-fourth day. There are opportunities for the bowlers also due to the bounce on the pitch. In the recent Irani Trophy match, the pitch was helpful for the batsmen for two-three days. After this the spinners got help.

Ishwaran, Riddhiman And the strength of Akashdeep Bengal
When she comes on the field, she will have a tough time in her mind about losing the Ranji Trophy to Uttar Pradesh in 2006. Abhimanyu Easwaran can be a big challenge for the UP bowlers. He played a brilliant inning of 191 runs against Mumbai in the Irani Trophy on this very ground. He has 7506 runs in 98 first class matches. It includes 26 centuries. In such a situation, he would like to play a big innings once again. At the same time, Akashdeep, who bowled lethally in the test match against Bangladesh, will also be the main weapon of Bengal. Captain Anustup Majumdar has the power to play big innings. Not only this, wicket-keeper batsman Wriddhiman Saha has huge experience. He has the ability to sail his team. Saha has experience of 136 first-class matches.
Strength of Swastik Chikara, Aryan Juyal and Vipuraj Nigam UP
All the players from Uttar Pradesh have recently played T20 league in this Ekana Stadium. Captain Aryan Juyal had scored a century. Swastik Chikara, who won the Orange Cap, scored a quick century. Apart from this, Madhav Kaushik had helped Meerut Mavericks win the title with his brilliant innings. Bowlers Aaqib Khan, Vipuraj Nigam, Ankit Rajput, Saurabh Kumar bowled well. Uttar Pradesh team looks balanced.
