Gujarat vs Railways Match Prediction
Gujarat and Railways will lock horns with each other in Elite Group D match at the Sardar Patel Stadium B Ground, Motera in Ahmedabad. The match will start from 9:30 AM and will be played from 24th January to 27th January.
For Priyank Panchal & Co, this season was not something they would want to remember. After getting all-out to 54 against Vidarbha, they would want to show some improvement against Railways. Gujarat started their campaign with a draw against Tripura and defeated Jammu & Kashmir and Chandigarh by huge margin. They lost the track after winning against Chandigarh. Gujarat have lost three matches in a row. First Punjab then Madhya Pradesh and Vidarbha thrashed them easily. Railways were handed a 194-run defeat by Vidarbha in their first match.They settled with a draw against Punjab and lost their third match in a close contest to Madhya Pradesh by 2 wickets. They are looking good this season. In the last three games they have won two and played one draw against Chandigarh.
In the previous season, Gujarat found themselves in Elite Group A where they lost back to back games against Madhya Pradesh and Kerala at their home ground. They defeated Meghalaya by an innings and 139 runs in their last game. On the other hand, Railways found themselves in Elite Group C where they played a draw against Karnataka to start with. Their next match against Puducherry also ended in a draw before they defeated Jammu & Kashmir by nine wickets in their last match.
Gujarat vs Railways Match Chance of Winning
Gujarat are the more likely side to win the match against Railways, that’s what past records suggest. In the last five encounters, Railways has failed to win against Gujarat. Gujarat handed defeat to Railways twice out of five games and on three occasions it resulted in a draw. The last three games for Railways have resulted in their favour and maybe they can give a tough competition to Priyank Panchal-led Gujarat. Railways defeated Jammu & Kashmir, Tripura and settled with a draw against Chandigarh in their last game.
On the flip side, Gujarat batters performed well except for their last innings against Vidarbha. Although they lost three back to back games, that started with Punjab and they would want to put a stop to that. Skipper Priyank Panchal is in terrific form. He scored a hundred and double hundred and two half centuries in his last five innings. All-rounder Chintan Gaja also chipped in both departments.
With a more balanced side, Gujarat should manage to grab a win against Railways.
Our Prediction
Gujarat will be back on the winning track from this game. They came up with an all-round show against Jammu & Kashmir and Chandigarh before losing three back to back games and looking to past records they are very likely going to beat Railways in their upcoming match. Gujarat are the more superior team with a more compact and experienced unit consisting of some very talented players. Railways look inconsistent and undisciplined in their bowling attack as a team and might find it difficult to beat Gujarat. Further, Railways have failed to beat Gujarat in their last five matches dating back to 2010.

Gujarat vs Railways Betting Odds
Gujarat to win
Gujarat is favourite to win this contest at the Sardar Patel Stadium B Ground, Motera in Ahmedabad. If you leave the second innings against Vidarbha, Gujarat’s batsmen are in sublime form and will look to capitalise on it, especially their skipper Priyank Panchal. In the first game against Tripura their top order failed but Panchal held his nerve and smashed a century. They have the mix of experience and youth in their bowling attack that makes Gujarat a very balanced team on paper.

Arindam Ghosh to be Railways' top batsmen
The 36-year-old batsman of Railways has been terrific with the bat. Ghosh, who was born in Kolkata, currently plays for Railways on number three spot. He has the experience of 66 First Class games in which he scored 3640 runs with the average of 37.91. After falling cheaply against Vidarbha he is on the bench and likely to play the upcoming match.

Siddharth Desai to be Gujarat’s top bowler
The left arm spinner of Gujarat Siddharth Desai has impressed in his short and promising first class career. He has taken 115 wickets in just 25 games with an economy rate of 3.08. In the second match against Jammu & Kashmir, Desai was on a roll. He dismissed 14 batsmen of Jammu & Kashmir and guided his side to a comfortable win.
Amit Mishra to be Railways top bowler
The right-handed all-rounder of Railways was impressive with both bat and bowl in the first game. Mishra who is known for his accuracy and being economical can create pressure on the batting order of Gujarat. He has played 21 matches and scalped 75 wickets with the economy of 3.10. He could only manage to get a wicket of Punjab skipper Mandeep Singh and will definitely want to add a few more numbers in his wicket column against Gujarat.
