Narendra Modi Stadium

Gujarat will take on Himachal Pradesh in their seventh round Elite Group D match of the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad from Thursday, January 30. The match is scheduled to start from 9:30 AM IST.

Gujarat vs Himachal Pradesh Chance of Winning

Gujarat, who are placed second in Elite Group B, will take on third placed Himachal Pradesh in their final group stage match. Both the teams will be looking for a win to ensure a place in the quarter-finals of Ranji Trophy 2024-25.

Gujarat are unbeaten in the tournament so far, and have won three of their six matches. They defeated Uttarakhand by an innings and 28 runs in their last match. Himachal Pradesh have seen a seesaw campaign in which they have lost by an innings margin three times, and lost by a similar margin twice. They also suffered an innings and 43-run defeat against Hyderabad in their last match.

Gujarat's chances of winning are higher because they have been the more consistent team, and their bowling attack is strong enough to make Himachal Pradesh batters again. Himachal Pradesh have lost two of their last three matches by an innings margin, and that shows how inconsistent their batters have been in the Ranji Trophy 2024-25. They were also made to follow-on against Rajasthan, who defeated them by eight wickets. Hyderabad, Vidarbha and Rajasthan all managed to score freely against Himachal Pradesh, and the strong batting unit of Gujarat would be looking to inflict similar damage in a must-win game for them.

Gujarat vs Himachal Pradesh Odds

Gujarat opening partnership to be over 19.5

Gujarat openers Aarya Desai and Urvil Patel partnered for six runs in their last outing against Uttarakhand. Priyank Panchal opened with Desai in Gujarat's second-last match against Vidarbha. They partnered for one and five runs in the first and second innings respectively. Panchal and Desai's partnership failed in the match against Puducherry as well. In the match against Rajasthan, the duo partnered for 156 runs in the first innings and 10 in the second innings. Rishi Patel and Panchal opened together against Andhra and partnered for 48 in the first innings, and 11 in the second. The partnership between Patel and Panchal also failed in Gujarat's first match against Hyderabad. It's quite obvious that Gujarat openers have failed to give their team a good start repeatedly. However, considering the importance of the must-win game, they are expected to apply themselves and be extra careful batting against Himachal bowlers. Hyderabad openers managed to stitch a 147-run partnership in HP's last match, and Gujarat openers would be looking to take cue and should score at least over 19 runs together.

Gujarat vs Himachal Pradesh Top Batters

Manan Hingrajia to be the top batter for Gujarat

Gujarat batter Manan Hingrajia is the joint-highest run-scorer for his team in the Ranji Trophy 2024-25. He scored a hundred in his only innings in Gujarat's last match against Uttarakhand. Overall, he has played all the six matches for Gujarat this season and scored 442 runs at an average of 44.20. The 26-year-old southpaw scored 181 runs in the first innings against Gujarat. He is expected to score big and finish the group stage with more than 500 runs to his name.

Ankit Kalsi to be the top batter for Himachal Pradesh

Eyes will be Ankit kalsi, the leading run-scorer for Himachal Pradesh. The 31-year-old left-hander has scored 549 runs in six matches at an average of 68.62. Two hundreds and as many fifties have come off his bat in the ongoing season. Himachal lost their last match against Hyderabad by an innings margin, but Kalsi managed to score 31 runs in the first innings, and 44 in the second. He scored a hundred in the second-last outing against Puducherry. Overall, Kalsi has scored 3606 runs in 59 first-class matches at an average of 46.23.

Gujarat vs Himachal Pradesh Top Bowlers

Siddharth Desai to be the top bowler for Gujarat

Gujarat's left-arm spinner Siddharth Desai was on a roll against Uttarakhand. He picked nine wickets for just 36 runs in 15 overs in the first innings. He picked three more wickets in the second innings. Siddharth has played all the six matches for Gujarat in Ranji Trophy 2024-25 and picked 28 wickets at an average of 23.50. Overall, the 24-year-old has featured in 37 first-class matches and picked 171 wickets at an average of 25.08.

Divesh Sharma to be the top bowler for Himachal Pradesh

Himachal Pradesh pacer Divesh Sharma is the leading wicket-taker for his team in the Ranji Trophy 2024-25. He has picked 23 wickets in six matches at an average of 22.95. However, he managed to pick just one wicket in his last outing against Hyderabad. In his last seven outings across formats, Sharma has failed to pick any wicket four times. But a lot would be expected from him in Himachal Pradesh's must-win game against Gujarat. He picked four wickets against Vidarbha, and a five-fer in the first innings against Andhra. The 23-year-old would be raring to come up with a similar spell.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Gujarat

Gujarat are the favourites to beat Himachal Pradesh at their home venue and book a quarter-finals berth in the Ranji Trophy 2024-25. Gujarat are not only entering the match on the back of a big win in their last game, but are also unbeaten in Group B. Himachal Pradesh, on the other hand, have been highly inconsistent, losing two of their last three matches by an innings margin. Interestingly, they have also won all their three matches by an innings margin, but that only shows that their batters have blown hot and cold. In their last outing against Hyderabad, Himachal Pradesh struggled equally against spin and fast bowling, and Gujarat are very well equipped in both the departments to pull off a similar damage against them.

• Gujarat to win @ 1.55 (Batery)
• Himachal Pradesh to win @ 2.45 (Batery)
