Himachal Pradesh enter the tie with big wins over Sikkim and Meghalaya, and will be hopeful of a third win against a strong looking Rajasthan side.

Rajasthan have blown hot and cold thus far, winning and losing a game, and would want some consistency with games coming thick and fast. 

The tournament comes with much added significance as the ICC Champions Trophy is less than two months away. 

While the majority of the squad picks itself, there are still places up for grabs and good performances in the Vijay Hazare Trophy will put players in good stead ahead of the squad selection. 

South Korea, meanwhile, are placed fourth in the standings with 6 points, with one win, three draws, and one loss. They were surpassed by China, who secured 2 wins and as many points. Korea’s season began with a 5-5 draw against Japan, followed by a 2-2 draw with Pakistan, their first victory with a 3-2 win over China, 3-1 loss at the hands of India and a 3-3 draw against Malaysia in their final pool match.

Chen Benhai gave the hosts the lead with a fine field goal in the first quarter following an enterprising team move. But the highlight of the match was Chao Jieming's sensational solo effort in the second quarter.

India last played an ODI series in July and thus the tournament will play a crucial role for players on the fringe of the Indian side.
