SRT vs MHA Match Prediction & Betting Tips - Dec 20, 2022
Saurashtra failed to win its previous match against Assam and is now under a little bit of pressure when it hosts Maharashtra in the second round of matches of the Ranji Trophy 2022-23. Unlike Saurashtra, Maharashtra comes into this match with a win at its back.
A resounding 9-wicket victory against Delhi has put Maharashtra in a strong position. It can now sit back and play for the Draw if needed and does not have to take unnecessary risks.
Match prediction and cricket betting tips for Saurashtra vs Maharashtra Ranji Trophy 2022-23. The match will be played at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Rajkot starting on the 20th of December 2022.
SRT vs MHA Team Previews
Saurashtra
Saurashtra's strong batting lineup performed well in its match against Assam but the bowling was unable to pick up 20 wickets. Make no mistake, the conditions were not easy and completely in favor of the batters but Saurashtra would have still been a bit disappointed.
Harvik Desai and Jay Gohil scored big runs in the first inning even as the rest of the batters did not quite live up to expectations. Among the bowlers, Chetan Sakariya picked up five wickets in the first inning and Prerak Mankad picked up three in the second.
As a while, the bowling unit performed decently without being outstanding. Jadeja and Jani would be hoping for more help from the Saurashtra pitch for this match.
Saurashtra Playing 11
Arpit Vasavada, Jay Gohil, Sheldon Jackson, Chirag Jani, Chetan Sakariya, Devang Karamta, Dharmendrasinh Jadeja, Harvik Desai, Prerak Mankad, Samarth Vyas, Snell Patel.
Maharashtra
Maharashtra was 94/7 at one stage before recovering to 313 for 8 thanks to centuries from Azim Kazi and Ashay Palkar. That allowed the team to take a crucial first-inning lead and then press for a victory. Maharashtra does have a pretty strong batting lineup on paper that may be strengthened by the availability of Ruturaj Gaikwad for this match as well.
Even if he is not available, players like Rahul Tripathi, Pavan Shah, Naushad Shaikh, and Siddesh Veer are quite capable of getting enough runs to put them in a strong position.
Ashay Palkar, Manoj Ingale, and Rajvardhan Hangarkekar bowled very well for Maharashtra in both innings and were pretty much responsible for setting up the win. We expect more runs from the Maharashtra batting lineup and fewer wickets in this match.
Maharashtra Playing 11
Ankit Bawne, Ashay Palkar, Azim Kazi, Manoj Ingale, Naushad Shaikh, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Satyajeet Bachhav, Saurabh Nawale, Vicky Ostwal, Rahul Tripathi, Ruturaj Gaikwad.

Pitch and Conditions
The pitch in Saurashtra is one of the flattest in the country. Batters have it all going their way and bowlers often have to toil without much reward. The teams often try to get away with first-inning lead points rather than actually looking for a win. A lot of runs and centuries from both teams are in store.
SRT vs MHA Betting Tips
We think a Draw is the most likely outcome of this match. Both teams have a strong batting lineup and while their bowling attacks are decent, they are probably up against the conditions when they play in Saurashtra. A batting fest where taking 20 wickets is going to be tough is what we are predicting.
Bet on the Draw.
