Uttar Pradesh will be up against Mumbai in the final match of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2020-21 on Sunday. Uttar Pradesh are playing their second final in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.

A lot of credit should go to their batsmen, especially Upendra Yadav, Karan Sharma and Akshdeep Nath.

They dominated the opposition in all the matches. Prithvi Shaw is in impeccable form at the moment and there is no stopping him in this tournament. Even their bowlers are backing up the batsmen really well.
