Saurashtra vs Arunachal Pradesh Betting Tips
Chirag Jani brought in all his experience and scored 69 unbeaten runs off 58 balls to help Saurashtra post a fighting 286-run target against Puducherry. The 35-year-old walked in to bat at a time when Saurashtra lost wickets in clusters, and made sure to stay unbeaten and take Saurashtra to a respectable total. His innings consisted of seven fours and two sixes. Jani's contribution with the ball will also be crucial for Saurashtra and therefore the eyes will be on him.
In a forgettable outing for Arunachal Pradesh, all-rounder Hardik Varma's performance was one of their rare positives. Varma scored 38 runs off 52 balls and took the team past 150. His innings consisted of five fours and a six. The outing is expected to give the 24-year-old a fair bit of confidence.
Saurashtra vs Arunachal Pradesh Toss Prediction
Nagaland elected to field first in the first match of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25 at the Gujarat College Ground, Ahmedabad. However, they ended up losing the match against Hyderabad by 42 runs. Arunachal Pradesh also could opt to field if they win the first. However, Saurashtra might look to give their batting unit more time in the middle, and therefore choose to bat first.
