MCA vs BCA Team Previews
Mumbai
Mumbai are the defending champions for this season and have continued with their brilliant run from the previous edition. Mumbai topped the Group A table with just 1 loss from 7 matches and gained a direct entry to the quarterfinals.
It has been an excellent all-round effort from Mumbai with most players chipping in to help the team achieve the success it has so far. Yashasvi Jaiswal is a dependable performer at the top of the order and is the top-scorer for the team with 234 runs.
He will open the innings with Angkrish Raghuvanshi. Ajinkya Rahane has been a key batsman for the team during the middle overs. He, along with Shivam Dube and Sarfaraz Khan lends stability to the middle order. Coming to the bowling, Tushar Deshw has once again been brilliant with the new ball, picking up 15 wickets so far.
He has received good support from Mohit Avasthi, while Royston Dias, who was back in the team after a long hiatus, bowled an impressive spell of 2 for 12. Shams Mulani and Tanush Kotian make up for an excellent spin attack and have picked up 19 wickets between them.

Baroda
Baroda finished second in the Group A table, trailing Mumbai in NRR. They too gained a direct entry to the quarterfinals as they were the highest second-placed team. Baroda’s only loss during the group stage came against Mumbai and they will be eager to avenge that in this match.
'Krunal Pandya has led his team from the front, scoring 263 runs and also picking up 6 wickets. The other batsmen however haven’t been in the best of forms and will need to play better if Baroda wants to go further. Jyotsnil Singh and Bhanu Punia have got some good starts at the top of the order but at least one of them will have to play a big inning in this match.
Similarly, Shivalik Singh and Vishnu Solanki have played well in patches but have lacked consistency. Much of the team’s success has been powered by the bowlers. Atit Sheth is among the wicket-takers of the tournament with 15 wickets. He, along with Lukman Meriwala makes up for one of the most potent new-ball attacks.
The spin department consists of Mahesh Pithiya, Krunal Pandya, and Ninad Rathva.

Soyeb Sopariya, Dhruv Patel, Lukman Meriwala, Ninad Rathva, Krunal Pandya, Mahesh Pithiya, Bhanu Pania, Jyotsnil Singh, Shivalik Sharma, Abhimanyusingh Rajput, Vishnu Solanki, Kartik Kakade.

The Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium offers an excellent batting surface. The pitch is hard with plenty of pace and bounce and the batsmen will enjoy playing their shots.

The weather is likely to be clear with plenty of sunshine and the temperature will remain between 23 and 27 degrees Celsius.
