Services vs Saurashtra Chance of Winning
It’s been a while since Services stopped being a competent unit in first-class cricket. Despite having the comforts of a home base in Delhi, they have consistently underperformed, resulting in a pretty dire situation overall. In three matches of the ongoing Ranji Trophy, they have one loss and two draws, with a total of six points, which have put them in the sixth spot on the points table.
On the other hand, Saurashtra, the defending champions, know how to win big games. They have one win, one loss, and one draw so far to be at the fourth spot on the points table, but they can always turn heads to win the whole thing if they step up their game a little bit. So they hold a pretty good chance to win the tournament without having to worry about a side like Services.

Services vs Saurashtra Betting Tips
If Cheteshwar Pujara is one of the options, you can only ignore him at your own peril. Pujara, ousted from the Indian set-up, is scoring runs like the old Pujara used to. Rajat Paliwal is having a bumper season for Services in the ongoing Ranji Trophy and I am backing him to have another good game of cricket. While that’s almost sure to happen, don’t undermine the impact of Ravi Chauhan too.
Services vs Saurashtra Match Toss Prediction

Saurashtra Team Form
Even though they don’t have Ravindra Jadeja in the ranks, Saurashtra are still a very strong side with most of their core members from the last year’s championship-winning team staying intact. They showed signs of coming back to form by beating Vidarbha by a massive margin of 238 runs in Nagpur in order to showcase their might. So be sure that we are going to witness a strong performance from them in Delhi.
Services vs Saurashtra Head-To-Head
Saurashtra and Services have played each other four times in the Ranji Trophy, with the former winning two games and the remaining two ending up in draw. The last time both sides played against each other was back in 2015 when Saurashtra won by four wickets in Palam.
Services vs Saurashtra Betting Odds
Can’t stress enough how important it is to bet on Cheteshwar Pujara, for he has been in absolute rollicking form lately. There is money to be made by betting on Jaydev Unadkat, too, for he knows how to easily marshal the side. Can you really leave out Rajat Paliwal? Surely, not. He can help you make a good amount of money.

Services vs Saurashtra Best Batters
Rajat Paliwal to be Services’ best batter (Parimatch)
In three matches this season, Rajat Paliwal has amassed 317 runs at an average of 105.66 with two centuries and one fifty. One of the most consistent batters in domestic cricket, Paliwal has 5937 runs at an average of 45.32 in his career. In his last four innings, Paliwal has 84, 14, 108*, and 111 - which clearly suggests that you should go for him right away.
Cheteshwar Pujara to be Saurashtra’s best batter (Parimatch)
The name should be enough to put enough trust in this bet. He has 20013 first-class runs at an average of 51.98 with 61 centuries and 78 half-centuries. That is insane number at display. His recent scores include - 243*, 49, 43, 43, and 66. You can’t beat his consistency. Just go for him to be Saurashtra’s best batter.
Tripura vs Karnataka Best Bowlers
Varun Choudhary to be Tripura's best bowler (Parimatch)
Varun Choudhary has been sensational for Services this season, having already accounted for 13 wickets at an average of 15.15 and an economy rate of 2.44. Despite this being his first season, Choudhary has shown incredible panache to take on the opposition well. So he is well positioned to do better in the next game.
Jaydev Unadkat to be Saurashtra's best bowler (Parimatch)
Jaydev Unadkat is just one wicket away from taking 400 first-class wicket - an absolute legend of a performer, who knows how to navigate through chartered waters. In a long career, where he has played more matches on lifeless wickets, Unadkat has an average of 23.01 and an economy rate of 2.95. So you know what to expect.
