Baroda and Mumbai square off in Round V of the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy on Tuesday. The ACA Stadium in Barsapara, Guwahati will host this exciting Group B fixture.

Baroda are placed fourth in the Group B points table. They have managed to win only a single game out of four so far. Baroda suffered a loss against Karnataka in their last game.

Batting first, it was a poor performance from the Baroda batters as they could only manage to score 134 in their 20 overs. Karnataka chased down the total with five balls to spare to hand Baroda their third defeat of the competition. They need to put up a vastly-improved performance while facing Mumbai in their next fixture.

Mumbai, on the other hand, are placed third in the points table. They have won two and lost as many games. Mumbai lost to Chhattisgarh in a thriller of a contest in their most recent match.

Batting first, Chhattisgarh posted 157 on the board, losing five wickets. Mumbai’s batters looked good in the middle but timely wickets from the Chhattisgarh bowlers helped them win the game by a solitary run. Mumbai’s batters will be disappointed with the effort and will be eager to get back to winning ways on Tuesday.
