But they ended up losing the next game against Saurashtra by a margin of 4 wickets. They will be looking to make a comeback of sorts in this match and win the game.
The cricket team of Gujarat on the other hand will play their first match in the competition. This is because their first game in the competition was abandoned because of rain. The Gujarat side is expected to be led by Priyank Panchal and he will be aided by the likes of Piyush Chawla, Arzan Nagaswalla, and Roosh Kalaria. Gujarat will be keen to get their campaign off on a positive note with a win.

Dream11 Prediction
This is a decent batting surface and it will be a good idea to select as many all-rounders as possible that can bowl well in death overs and also in the middle of the innings. Although there is nothing much to choose from for either side in the match, we expect Baroda to have an edge in this game. They have already got a couple of games under their belt and have looked good in the matches played so far.
Top Picks
Atit Sheth: In the last match for Baroda Atit Sheth bowled a terrific spell. He picked up a 3-wicket haul in this match while bowling at an amazing economy rate of 2.33. He will be looking to replicate another performance such as that in this game.
Priyank Panchal: Priyank Panchal is a terrific alternative for the batting line-up of Gujarat. He averages 29.48 and is averaging a lot more than that in his last 6 games. He is a capable batter and you can bet on him to come good in this game for Gujarat.
Arzan Nagwaswalla: Arzan Nagwaswalla is one of the must-have cricketers for his team. He is in great form in recent matches and his team will be looking up to him to provide vital breakthroughs in the game.
Krunal Pandya: Krunal Pandya is yet another top pick for the Baroda outfit. This all-rounder is a former India cap and he is likely to bat in the number 3 position for Baroda. He can also bowl 4 overs for his team.
