Mumbai vs Saurashtra Betting Tips
Jay Bista, Mumbai’s opening batsman, has been their most valuable batter by far as he has accumulated 219 runs in four innings so far.

Tushar Deshpande has been excellent with the ball, having claimed 13 wickets already in just four innings, making him the second highest wicket-taker of the tournament. Mohit Avasthi stands second with ten wickets to his credit in three innings.
Vishvaraj Jadeja has been Saurashtra’s leading batsman with just 119 runs in four innings. Harvik Desai, their wicket-keeper batsman, and Dharmendrasinh Jadeja are next in line with 105 and 72 runs, respectively. All three of them have scored a half-century each. Dharmendrasinh Jadeja has shown brilliant all-rounder capabilities, as he stands as their top wicket-taker with ten wickets in four innings. Jaydev Unadkat, their skipper, has bagged seven wickets.
Mumbai vs Saurashtra Toss Prediction
Mumbai and Saurashtra will meet at KSCA Cricket (3) Ground, Alur. The last match played at the venue during the Vijay Hazare Trophy was between Kerala and Tripura.

However, they turned things around and went on a wicket-taking spree, bowling out Tripura in just 27.5 overs and winning by a whopping 119 runs. Given this recent outcome, the toss winner of the upcoming match might consider opting to bat first.

Mumbai vs Saurashtra Betting Odds
Mumbai to have a better opening partnership than Saurashtra
In their previous match against Puducherry, Mumbai’s asking rate was extremely low and they had no reason to succumb to the pressure. Keeping this in mind, Mumbai took it slow and managed to maintain an opening partnership of 24 runs between Jay Bista and Angkrish Raghuvanshi, their opening duo. The latter lost his wicket in 3.5 overs but it did not hurt them in the slightest. Considering how much Jay Bista has been contributing with the bat, there is a very strong likelihood that Mumbai will establish a better first wicket partnership than Saurashtra, especially since their last match witnessed them lose their first wicket in just 2.1 overs. Harvik Desai and Sheldon Jackson, Saurashtra’s openers, could only muster a partnership of five runs before the fall of the latter’s wicket.

Mumbai vs Saurashtra Best Batters
Jay Bista to be Mumbai’s Best Batter
Jay Bista has single-handedly led Mumbai’s batting unit as the opener, having accumulated 219 runs in just four innings. He emerged as Mumbai’s top run scorer in their previous match against Puducherry with 17 runs from 31 deliveries. He has also contributed a century with the bat and has shown exceptional dominance within the team. There is a good possibility he could continue to be their premier batsman.
Vishvaraj Jadeja to be Saurashtra’s Best Batter
Vishvaraj Jadeja has amassed 119 runs in four overs, making him the leading batsman for Saurashtra at the moment. He was the second highest run scorer for the team in their latest match against Odisha, wherein he contributed 17 runs from 19 deliveries and ended up with a strike rate of 89.47. He has also amassed a half-century in the tournament and is in contention to be their top batsman in the upcoming match.
Mumbai vs Saurashtra Best Bowlers
Tushar Deshpande to be Mumbai’s Best Bowler
Tushar Deshpande is leading Mumbai’s bowling unit with a whopping 13 wickets in just four innings. He looks invincible at the moment, evidenced by his performance against Puducherry in their last outing - in a mere five overs, he conceded 11 runs and bowled a maiden over, resulting in an economy rate of 2.20. Moreover, he claimed four wickets during this spell alone, making him the top bowler of the match. There is no doubt that expectations are high and he is projected to maintain his position as the top bowler.
Dharmendrasinh Jadeja to be Saurashtra’s Best Bowler
Dharmendrasinh Jadeja is the leading wicket-taker for Saurashtra with ten wickets in four innings, five of which came in their last match against Odisha. He was also highly economical with the ball, considering he bowled 5.1 overs and allowed 16 runs, giving him an economy rate of 3.09. Given his haul of five wickets in their previous outing, it seems quite likely that he will be able to continue as their best bowler.
