Saurashtra and Mumbai will lock horns in this Ranji Trophy game of Elite Group D. This match will be played at the Ground “A” of the Narendra Modi Stadium, Motera, Ahmedabad.
Saurashtra are the defending champions of the Ranji Trophy. They defeated Bengal in the finals of the previous season. Jaydev Unadkat's side played eight matches in the league stages and won three of them with four ending in a draw and just one defeat. They played some really good cricket and will look to continue their good form and defend their title.
The likes of Cheteshwar Pujara, Sheldon Jackson, Chetan Sakariya, Dharmendrasinh Jadeja, etc will be the main players for Saurashtra. Jaydev Unadkat will lead them. Saurashtra are yet to defeat Mumbai in the history of the Ranji Trophy and this looks like their best chance in quite some time now. It will be their 56th attempt to get a win against Mumbai.
Mumbai, meanwhile, didn’t have a great season last time. They've only managed to win one game in the eight matches they played. Five games were drawn while two ended in defeat.
They have a strong squad this time around, though, and are one of the top contenders to win the title this year. They have a young team but are not inexperienced by any means. Prithvi Shaw, Armaan Jaffer, Shivam Dube, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Aditya Tare, Arjun Tendulkar, etc are the main players for Mumbai. They have a strong batting and bowling unit. Mumbai will look to forget last season and kickstart this season with a win.
