MAH vs JK: Jammu and Kashmir Expected to Dominate Over Meghalaya
The Ranji Trophy 2024-25 is in full swing, and the next encounter sees Jammu and Kashmir taking on Meghalaya in a Group A match. The game is set to take place on November 6, 2024, at the Meghalaya Cricket Association Cricket Ground, Shillong.
Jammu and Kashmir Favourites
Jammu and Kashmir are the overwhelming favourites heading into this match. With a impressive win in their previous encounter against Services, they are riding high on confidence. Shubham Khajuria, the top run-scorer of the tournament with 360 runs in four innings, will be the key player for Jammu and Kashmir.
Meghalaya's Uphill Task

However, their chances of winning this match are slim, with a predicted winning chance of only 6%. Balchander Anirudh, with 264 runs in six innings, will be the top batter for Meghalaya, but they'll need a collective effort to take down the strong Jammu and Kashmir team.
