GOA vs SAU Prediction, Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips: Playing XI, Pitch Report and Injury Update – Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021, Elite D Group

Match Details:

The Elite D Group match of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021 will be played between Saurashtra and Vidarbha at Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore.

The match is scheduled to start at 07:00 PM local time and IST.

Preview:

As many would have predicted before the start of this competition, Saurashtra have started their campaign on a brilliant note. They defeated Services in the first game and went on to thrash Vidarbha by 79 runs in their second game. Their challenge lies in the form of Goa.

Goa are not particularly a team one would expect to dominate the group, but they have had their moments of glory. While Madhya Pradesh was a bit too hot to handle for them, the Goans got the better of services in their last match. That being said, Saurashtra is a different kettle of fish and handling them will require more than their one hundred percent.

It will be bright and sunny at Indore tomorrow, with the temperature being around 26 °C. The chances of precipitation are nil.
