Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh will face off in this Ranji Trophy match of Elite A group. SCA Stadium will host this match between the two teams.
Gujarat was the top of the table in their group last season. They won five games and three of their matches ended in a draw. They were beaten 92 times by Saurashtra in their first semi-final last season.
Gujarat has a very balanced squad and will be looking to replicate their performance last season and go one step further in the finals before claiming the title. They have names like Priyank Panchal, Dharmendrasinh Jadeja, Piyush Chawla and Arzan Nagwaswala, who are in steady form in the domestic league.
Madhya Pradesh had a very bad start in the last Ranji Trophy season. They were unable to win even one of the eight matches played. Six of their matches ended in a draw while they were defeated in two.
They have quite a few good players like Venkatesh Iyer, Avesh Khan, Rajat Patidar and Ishwar Pandey. Iyer and Avesh will not be in this game as they are on national duty at the moment. MP will start their campaign with a victory over a strong side like Gujarat.
