Jammu and Kashmir have lost all four games of theirs so far in the tournament, with a 43-run defeat to Railways being their last one. They now face Gujarat, who are sitting merrily on the second spot with three wins in four games. In Group C, as many as four teams are tied with 12 points, including Baroda who look to move a step ahead by trampling over the winless Tripura. Table-toppers Vidarbha will also have similar views, looking to confirm themselves for the quarters when they face Andhra in New Delhi. Uttar Pradesh, currently second in Group D behind Himachal Pradesh, will look to leave the memories of the one-sided defeat to Madhya Pradesh behind when they face the group whipping boys Goa, with a win pretty much helping them advance to the next stage.
