The match is set to be played at Moti Bagh Stadium, Vadodara. The last match held at the venue was between Odisha and Baroda, wherein the former won the toss and elected to field first. However, the decision did not work out favorably as they lost by a substantial margin.

Puducherry’s victory over Delhi, though impressive, could also be attributed to luck as Delhi grapples with poor form and change in leadership. Their current form is difficult to gauge which would make it harder to back them in the next fixture.
Baroda vs Puducherry Head-to-Head
Baroda and Puducherry are going to clash for the first time in the Ranji Trophy in their next game. No head-to-head record has been established between the teams.
Baroda vs Puducherry Betting Odds
Puducherry to have a better opening partnership than Baroda
Despite having won their match against Odisha, Baroda failed to achieve decent opening partnerships in both their innings. In the first and second innings, Jyotsnil Singh and Kinit Patel, their opening pair, scored just four runs and two runs, respectively, before the latter’s wicket was taken on both occasions. Puducherry, on the other hand, achieved a partnership of 41 runs in their first innings against Delhi between Akash Kargave and Jay Pande, their openers. In the following innings, they collaborated for 44 runs. Considering this massive disparity in performance, it seems likely that Puducherry could establish a better first wicket partnership than Baroda.

Baroda vs Puducherry Best Batters
Mitesh Patel to be Baroda’s Best Batter
Mitesh Patel batted one innings in their previous match against Odisha, wherein he hit a phenomenal knock of 116 runs from 151 deliveries. He currently stands as their second highest run scorer despite not taking part in the second innings. Considering the brilliant form he displayed against Odisha, it seems likely that he could be their leading batsman once again.
Paras Ratnaparkhe to be Puducherry’s Best Batter
Paras Ratnaparkhe participated in a single innings in their previous match against Delhi, where he scored 60 runs from 94 deliveries. Although he did not bat during the second innings, he remained at the top of the team’s run charts. He could be anticipated to continue as their top batsman.
Baroda vs Puducherry Best Bowlers
Mahesh Pithiya to be Baroda’s Best Bowler
Mahesh Pithiya delivered a decent spell in their first innings against Odisha, having captured a single wicket in eight overs. However, he kicked it up a notch in the follow-on innings and bagged five wickets in 25.5 overs with an economy rate of 2.36. Taking this performance into account, he could be relied upon to remain their top bowler in the next game.
Gaurav Yadav to be Puducherry’s Best Bowler
Gaurav Yadav was nothing short of sensational in their first game against Delhi. During his first spell, he claimed a whopping seven wickets in 26.5 overs with an economy rate of just 1.82. He followed it up with three additional wickets in 16.4 overs in the next innings. With a haul of ten wickets in just two innings, he could be expected to emerge as their leading bowler.
