MUMBAI: With their superior all-round strength, Baroda hold a slight edge over unbeaten Uttar Pradesh and seem well-poised to grab their third Mushtaq Ali Trophy when the two teams clash under lights in the final of the domestic T20 competition here on Wednesday.
Baroda have lost two games out of 9 in the competition — to Delhi in the Preliminary League stage and then to Kerala in the Super League — this season, while UP have won all their 8 matches thus far.
But man-to-man, Baroda likely hold the advantage, in both batting and bowling, in the summit contest at the Wankhede Stadium.
