Average Turn
At the Niranjan Shah Stadium C in Rajkot, the surface will provide excellent bowling conditions. The highest score at this venue in this season is 376, and the lowest is 232. Although bowlers have a slight upper hand here, the pitch can prove to be suitable for batsmen in the beginning.
The pitch at Niranjan Shah Stadium C in Rajkot usually offers a bowling-friendly surface. Usually, we don't see many high-scoring matches at this venue. The surface gives the bowler wicket taking opportunity right from the start. Hence, the batsmen need to bat with patience, and they might face tough challenges from the bowlers.
Toss: To Bat
The Niranjan Shah Stadium C in Rajkot is helpful for the first batting side. At the beginning of the innings, the batsmen have some chances to score runs, but as the match progresses, the bowlers become aggressive, and the bowlers start dominating the batsmen. Therefore, the team bowling in the last innings has a better chance of winning.
SRT vs PCA
Winning Prediction
Saurashtra has performed well in the tournament so far, where they have not lost even once, which proves that their batting and bowling are very strong. Apart from this, in the last five head-to-head matches played with Punjab, Saurashtra has won three while Punjab has won only one. So, Saurashtra will be the favourites to win this match. While the conditions haven't been as favourable for Punjab in this tournament, they have struggled with both bowling and batting. However, with a stellar performance, they could surprise Saurashtra in this match.
