Rajasthan comes into this match with momentum on their side after having won the previous game. Their bowlers did a good job defending a modest score which should give them confidence. Haryana's bowlers did not have a particularly good outing. Their batters did not quite look in the zone either.

Prediction: Rajasthan to win this match.
