Ranji Trophy 2022, Gujarat vs Madhya Pradesh: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Weather Forecast & Pitch Report

Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh will go face-to-face in this Ranji Trophy match of Elite Group A. The SCA Stadium will host this game between the two teams.

Gujarat were the table toppers in their group last season. They won five games and three of their matches ended in a draw. They were defeated by Saurashtra by 92 runs in the first semi-final in the last season.

Gujarat have a very balanced squad and will look to replicate their performances last season and take one more step in the finals before eventually winning the title. They have the likes of Priyank Panchal, Dharmendrasinh Jadeja, Piyush Chawla, and Arzan Nagwaswala, who are consistent performers in the domestic circuit.

Madhya Pradesh had a very bad outing in the last Ranji Trophy season. They failed to win even a single game out of the eight matches they played. Six of their games ended in a draw while they were defeated in two matches.

They have quite a few good players in Venkatesh Iyer, Avesh Khan, Rajat Patidar, and Ishwar Pandey. Iyer and Avesh will be unavailable for this game as they are on national duty at the moment. MP will look to start their campaign with a win against a strong side like Gujarat.
