Goa vs Gujarat Chance of Winning
Both Goa and Gujarat have won their first two matches in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2023. Goa defeated Andhra by 31 runs before beating Manipur by six wickets on Tuesday. On the other hand, Gujarat defeated Arunachal by six wickets before beating Saurashtra by six wickets.
However, Gujarat look set to break Goa's winning run in Ranchi on Thursday. Gujarat have the likes of Priyank Panchal, Arzan Nagwaswalla, Ravi Bishnoi and Piyush Chawla in their squad and they could just prove to be too good for Goa who lack any big name in their side.
Goa scored over 200 runs in their first match but they also ended up leaking over 200 runs. In their second match against Manipur they took over 16 overs to chase down a 123-run target. Again a very strong Gujarat bowling line-up run scoring would not at all be easy for Goa.
Gujarat are also high on confidence by beating two strong teams by six wickets. In their last match against Saurashtra, they chased down the revised 105-run total in just 10.2 overs.
