Baroda comes into this game riding high on a convincing 41-run victory over Bengal in their previous outing. Their formidable total of 172 runs was defended brilliantly, thanks to Lukman Meriwala and Hardik Pandya, who each claimed three crucial wickets to dismantle the opposition.

A warm welcome to each and everyone joining us here today. The stage is set at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru for an electrifying encounter as Baroda takes on Mumbai in the first semi-final of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Known for its batting-friendly surface, the venue also offers early assistance to pacers, making it a balanced battlefield for this high-stakes clash. Both teams are likely to opt for chasing, given the conditions.
After 132 matches over a fortnight featuring 38 teams across 5 groups, the 2024 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy now narrows down to its final four contenders. The stage is set for the first semi-final clash between two powerhouse teams, Mumbai and Baroda, at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Shreyas Iyer-led Mumbai have been nothing short of dominant this season, showcasing their batting prowess with back-to-back high-scoring chases. After overhauling a mammoth 222 against Vidarbha in the quarterfinals with four balls to spare, following a record-breaking 230-run chase against Andhra, their batting lineup is firing at just the right time. Ajinkya Rahane has led the scoring charts with consistent support from skipper Iyer, while their bowling has been spearheaded by Mohit Avasthi and Shardul Thakur, though they’ll need more support from the rest of the attack in this crucial clash. With incredible batting depth and sky-high confidence, Mumbai look poised for another big performance. On the other hand, Krunal Pandya’s Baroda have been a model of consistency, losing only one match so far. Bhanu Pania, the team’s leading run-scorer, has anchored the batting lineup brilliantly, with solid contributions from the opening pair of Shashwat Rawat and Abhimanyusingh Rajput. Their strong starts have allowed the middle order to build imposing totals. With Atit Sheth and Lukman Meriwala spearheading the bowling attack and receiving ample support from the rest of the unit, Baroda’s balanced side looks ready to make amends for their narrow loss in last year’s final. Both teams enter this clash riding a wave of momentum and with equally impressive credentials. With Mumbai’s explosive batting lineup pitted against Baroda’s all-around consistency, this promises to be a high-octane semi-final. Who are you backing for the win?
