Low scoring matches are the current trend at the Emerald High School, with spinners finding turn to exploit against the hapless batsmen. Top order batsmen are key to their respective team's cause as stroke play becomes increasingly difficult as the game progresses.

Fantasy Tips and Suggestions:

Wicket-keeper: Rohit Motwani is the preferred choice with Ishan Kishan uncertain to play the match. Motwani has been in good form since returning to the playing XI and should bring in some vital points.

Batsmen: Virat Singh and Ruturaj Gaikwad are in good form and are great picks to have in the side while the likes of Rahul Tripathi, Saurabh Tiwary and Ishank Jaggi are also viable options to have in the side.

All-rounders: Anand Singh has put in good performances for Jharkhand and is one to watch out for. Along with him, Naushad Shaikh and Anukul Roy are also handy options to have in the fantasy side.

Bowlers: Rahul Shukla has been in good wicket-taking form for Jharkhand and is a must-have player in the side. Satyajeet Bachhav and Dominic Muthuswami are also viable options for the team, while Samad Fallah's incisive bowling could also be opted for.

Captain: Ruturaj Gaikwad missed out against Gujarat and could come off against a good Jharkhand side. Along with him, Anand Singh is also a good option to have in your team as captain, owing to his all-round abilities.
