Baroda vs Meghalaya Chances of Winning
Baroda’s winning streak came to an end after their last match against Tripura where a lack of time did not permit a proper result between the sides. Baroda set a first innings total of 235 which was quite scant and not nearly enough to give their rivals a fight. Atit Sheth, Mitesh Patel and Jyotsnil Singh were the only ones who contributed well with scores of 78, 49 and 46 runs, respectively. Naturally, Tripura took the lead and scored 482 runs during their chase and they declared at this juncture. Baroda’s second attempt was going significantly better than the first as they scored 241/4, but their allotted four days were up and the sides drew the match.
Meghalaya’s losing streak only worsened after their previous outing against Jammu and Kashmir and their batting performance was their folly once again. They scored a measly 73 runs in the first innings and Jammu and Kashmir snatched the lead comfortably with 194 runs on the board. It was too little, too late for Meghalaya at this point and even though they managed to score an additional 195 runs in the second innings, the win was Jammu and Kashmir’s for the taking and they did just that by a seven-wicket margin.

Baroda vs Meghalaya Betting Tips
Baroda to score high before first dismissal
Jyotsnil Singh and Shivalik Sharma have opened the innings for Baroda in nearly all the matches this season and although their partnership has been a tad inconsistent, they are both averaging at 22.50 and 56.66, respectively. The former has some room for improvement but overall, their opening stands of 2, 64, 5, 14, 73, 5 and 16 runs in the last four games have shown that they have it in them to progress further. The pair will be relied upon to secure a competitive stand for the team in the next match.
Baroda vs Meghalaya Toss Prediction
In the two matches played at Kotambi Stadium this season, the teams batting first and fielding first won one match each. However, batting first was the strategy chosen by both toss winners and the surface does assist batters in scoring big runs. Although the first innings scores in the tournament have not been particularly great at this venue, the toss winning skipper will prefer to set the target in the next game, too.
Weather Report
Sunny skies are predicted at Vadodara on the day of the match and there is no chance of a washout at all. The temperature will likely reach 34 degrees Celsius.

Baroda vs Meghalaya Best Batters
Krunal Pandya to be Baroda’s Best Batter
Krunal Pandya departed for just 27 runs in the first innings against Tripura last time out but he emerged as the team’s top scorer in the second innings with 57 runs, marking his third half-century of the season. He leads the team’s run charts with 365 runs in six innings and an average of 60.83. The skipper is backed to be their standout batter in the next game as well.
Sumit Kumar to be Meghalaya’s Best Batter
Sumit Kumar stands as Meghalaya’s second highest run scorer with 206 runs in eight innings. He faced a 13-ball duck in the first innings against Jammu and Kashmir and scored just 36 runs in the second innings. However, he has the potential to bounce back and come good against Baroda in the upcoming fixture.
Baroda vs Meghalaya Best Bowlers
Mahesh Pithiya to be Baroda’s Best Bowler
Mahesh Pithiya is the leading wicket-taker for Baroda at the moment with 21 wickets under his belt in seven innings and an average of 23.66. In the sole innings against Tripura, his 28-over spell yielded one wicket, and he also delivered five maidens and achieved an economy rate of 2.92. He was the joint highest wicket-taker in the last match but will be expected to be the leading bowler against Meghalaya.
Akash Choudhary to be Meghalaya’s Best Bowler
Akash Choudhary is tied as Meghalaya’s top bowler with 12 wickets in six innings so far. He was also the joint highest wicket-taker for the team in the last game against Jammu and Kashmir wherein he picked three wickets in the first innings and two more in the second innings. Based on his display in the previous outing, he is expected to lead the way for the team once again.
