Goa vs Nagaland Prediction & Betting Tips 2024
Nagaland has scored over 300 runs in three of the four innings they have played in Sovima. Opener Dega Nischal has scored a century in each match while missing out on a fifty by just one run in the fourth inning. We’re backing the Nagaland batsman to go big at home once again and give the Goan bowlers a fight.
Alongside Nischal, we are also expecting Snehal Kauthankar to post a big score in the match. He has the highest individual score of the season in 314 runs while also smashing 250 in another game. He also posted the highest score - 75 - for Goa in the match against Nagaland.

Goa vs Nagaland Betting Odds
Spinners to rule the roost in Sivorim
The top three wicket-takers in the tournament are spinners and the match in Sivorim will see two of them in action - Jagadeesha Suchith and Darshan Misal. Sivorim has seen 90 wickets fall in 10 innings played at the venue and hence, we’re expecting the bowlers to shine in the final.
Team Goa’s captain, Darshan Misal, has taken 25 wickets in the tournament so far, 7 of which came against Nagaland. Jagadeesha Suchith’s record in the tournament is even more impressive. He has taken 37 wickets so far to lead the charts including 6 against Goa. Expect both of these bowlers to return with more than 5 wickets each.

Goa vs Nagaland Top Batters
Snehal Kauthankar to be Goa’s top batsman

He has also scored 250 runs against Mizoram, highlighting his big-hitting capability. He averages 171 in the tournament, having scored 684 runs in 5 innings.
Dega Nischal to be Nagaland’s top batsman
30-year-old Dega Nischal comes into the final on the back of three 50+ scores in the Vijay Hazare Trophy for Nagaland. In the Plate League, he has scored 815 runs in 8 innings with five hundreds and one fifty. The opening batsman’s performances will be key to Nagaland’s fortunes in the match.
Goa vs Nagaland Top Bowlers
Darshan Misal to be Goa’s top bowler
Goa’s highest wicket taker in the tournament is Darshan Misal with 25 wickets in eight innings. One of the spinner’s two 5-wicket hauls came against Nagaland in the group stage. The spinner is expected to take advantage of the conditions that have helped Nagaland’s Jagadeesha Suchith in the group stage.
Jagadeesha Suchith to be Nagaland’s top bowler
Left arm spinner Jagadeesha Suchith is the tournament’s leading wicket taker with 37 wickets in 5 matches. He has returned with 5-wicket hauls in four out of the 9 innings he has bowled while taking two 4-wicket hauls as well. His last match against Goa saw him take 6 wickets across the 2 innings and he’ll be key if Nagaland harbour any hopes of causing an upset.
