ADR vs GRT Match Preview
Despite losing the openers, Srikar Bharat and Ashwin Hebbar in quick succession, Andhra was able to post a massive total of 228 runs thanks to an inspiring century by Shaik Rasheed. He put up a 106-run partnership with Hanuma Vihari for the 3rd wicket to set the stage for a big total.
Ricky Bhui, who scored a century earlier this season, played an excellent cameo to provide a late flourish. His performance will be crucial for Andhra in this match. Additionally, the team possesses some all-rounders, including Karan Shinde and Manish Golamaru, who enhance the depth of the batting lineup.
C Stephen bowled an excellent spell in the last match, picking up 3 wickets and bringing his total tally for the season to 5 wickets. He will lead the seam attack alongside KV Sasikanth and Kavuri Saiteja, while Hemanth Reddy and Manish Golamaru will handle the spin department.
Urvil Patel has consistently performed at the top of the order for Gujarat and is one of the team's top run-getters. However, Priyank Panchal, his opening partner and skipper, has faced difficulties in finding his form. Umang Kumar and Saurav Chauhan will play crucial roles in the middle order for Gujarat.
Both Kumar and Chauhan have shown promise with their starts, but they must convert them into substantial innings in the future. Moving on to the bowling department, spinners Ravi Bishnoi and Piyush Chawla have been reliable performers during the middle overs. Bishnoi, in particular, has been exceptional, leading the wicket-taking charts with 5 wickets and maintaining an economical bowling rate.
Chintan Gaja and Arzan Nagwaswalla have displayed moments of brilliance with their bowling, but they need to improve their discipline in terms of line and length.
Weather Report
The weather is likely to be bright and sunny, with temperatures of between 23 and 26 degrees Celsius.
Pitch Report
The pitch at Ranchi offers a good batting surface. Teams have consistently breached the 200-run mark on this ground and we can expect another high-scoring encounter. The bounce is true and there is a good amount of pace on offer. However, as the match progresses, the pitch gets a bit slower and the spinners will get some grip and turn.

Dream11 Prediction
We are backing Gujarat to win this match. They have been clinical in their performance this season and have won all the 3 matches they have played so far. Also, their undefeated record against Andhra should give the team plenty of confidence.
On the other hand, Andhra isn’t in the best of forms and is likely to struggle against a quality opposition like Gujarat.
