Niranjan Shah Stadium C

Saurashtra’s next Ranji Trophy encounter against Goa is their first clash in the tournament since the 2022 season. From November 16 to 19, 2025, the sides will go head-to-head at Niranjan Shah Stadium C, Rajkot, with the match scheduled to commence at 9:30 AM IST.

Facts:

Chirag Jani, Saurashtra’s opener, is their leading run scorer this season with 357 runs in six innings.

Saurashtra vs Goa Chances of Winning

Saurashtra drew their fourth game in a row as they faced Kerala last time out, having been bundled out for a measly 160 runs in the first innings. The latter overcame the total and scored 233 runs, but Saurashtra upped their game in the third innings where they piled on 402 runs - Chirag Jani’s 152 was the standout performance while Arpit Vasavada and Prerak Mankad were next in line with 74 and 62 runs, respectively. The bowlers did well to curtail the opposition considering Kerala were 154/3 in the final innings. However, a lack of time resulted in an impasse.

Goa, though, suffered their first defeat of the season against Madhya Pradesh after scoring 284 runs in the first innings. Suyash Prabhudessai’s 65 and Deepraj Gaonkar’s 51 were the leading scores, followed by Darshan Misal who notched up 44 runs while Lalit Yadav and Snehal Kauthankar scored 41 runs each. The bowlers fended off Madhya Pradesh as they posted 187 runs on the board. The Darshan Misal-led side scored an additional 230 runs with Abhinav Tejrana’s 69 as the standout contribution but it was not enough for the bowlers to defend, and they wound up losing by three wickets.

Saurashtra vs Goa Prediction & Tips 2025

Saurashtra to score low before first dismissal

Harvik Desai and Chirag Jani’s partnership has seen a gradual decline over the course of the season. In the four games that Saurashtra has taken part in thus far, they set up scores of 0, 20, 26, 60, 140 and 21 runs. Barring two instances where their collaboration yielded competitive totals, the pair have not hit their marks. This puts them at a disadvantage in the upcoming match.

Saurashtra vs Goa Toss Prediction

Saurashtra and Delhi faced each other at Niranjan Shah Stadium C in the 2024 season of the tournament where the latter elected to bat first and it was not fruitful in the slightest. They scored measly totals of 188 and 94 runs, and the chase was, naturally, rather easy. This result makes fielding first the preferred strategy in the next game as well.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Goa

Saurashtra have been painfully mediocre all season long and they stand sixth on the Group B table with four draws on the trot and a net run rate of 1.1. Goa are far more competitive this season since they are third in the standings with one win, one defeat and two draws along with a significantly better net run rate of 1.334. There is a huge disparity in their performances and despite Goa’s downtrend in the last game, they are favored to come out on top in this clash.
