Match Details:

The Round 6 Elite Group A & B fixture of the Ranji Trophy 2019-20 will be played between Gujarat and Punjab at the Sardar Vallabhai Patel Stadium in Valsad.

The match starts at 9:30 AM local time (04:00 AM GMT). Live Streaming of this match will be available on Hotstar.

Preview for Dream11 Fantasy

Gujarat will face Punjab in the sixth round of the ongoing Ranji Trophy season at the Sardar Vallabhai Patel Stadium from Sunday. The Parthiv Patel-led side are yet to lose a game but have lost their way a bit in the previous two matches after starting the season with a couple of outright victories. They are currently at the sixth place in the points table with 14 points to their name and will need to accumulate more points to make the knockout stages.

Punjab, on the other hand, are coming off a loss at the hands of Kerala in the previous outing. However, they are sitting pretty at the second position in the points table in Elite Group A & B. They have won two, drawn two apart from losing one game in five outings so far. The team would be itching to stay in top two with another authoritative performance against Gujarat.

Weather Report/Condition

The forecast in Valsad, Gujarat is absolutely clear for the next four days. There should be no rain interruption on any of the days with the sun shining bright. The temperature will hover in the early 30s during the match according to AccuWeather.


Pitch Report

This is the first match of the season at the venue and there is no idea how the pitch will behave. It will be interesting to see if the curator will leave more grass on the wicket to eke out a result in four days. In that case, the bowlers will rule the roost. The spinners might also come into play from the third day.

Injury and Availability News:

Both the teams haven’t officially announced any changes in the squad. We are assuming there won’t be any changes to their side from the previous game.
