Venue | Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad |
Maharashtra and Saurashtra topped their respective groups in the league stage to book a place in the knockouts of the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
Arguably the best team in the tournament, Maharashtra defeated UP in the quarter-final and Assam in the semis to reach the final. They are still undefeated in the tournament.
Meanwhile, Saurashtra defeated Tamil Nadu in the quarter-final and Karnataka in the semis to book a title clash with Maharashtra.
The tournament has been a high-scoring one as the wickets have been very flat. Once again, bowlers are likely to toil hard as the surface will be a belter to bat.
The weather will be bright and sunny, with a maximum temperature of 32 degrees. Since rain is not expected during the match, a full 50-over game will be on display.

Maharashtra are not likely to make changes to their winning combination. Saurashtra, however, may bring back Chetan Sakariya who didn’t play in the semifinal.
Maharashtra have won 3 of the five games in the last five matches between the two teams.

Ruturaj Gaikwad has been in staggering form in the season, especially in the last two games. Gaikwad scored a blistering 200 against UP and scored another 168 in the last game against Assam. He is a good option for the captain as well.
Rahul Tripathi has also enjoyed a brilliant season of the Vijay Hazare Trophy so far. With 524 runs in the tournament, he has been one of the top performers for Maharashtra.
Samarth Vyas has played a few good innings for the Saurashtra team in VHT and the same will be expected of him in the final as well.
Rajvardhan Hangargekar has bowled well for Maharashtra this season, picking up 15 wickets in 7 games for the team, including a 4-fer in the last game. A good show by him will significantly boost Maharashtra’s chances.
Jaydev Unadkat was the man of the match in the semifinal against Karnataka as he picked 4 wickets for 26 runs. He has taken 17 wickets in 9 matches this season and will be a key bowler for Saurashtra in the final.
