Goa and Vidarbha will square off against each other in the Elite D Group match of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021 on Tuesday. Both teams are already out of this competition and there is no pressure on their shoulders, and are ready to battle for one last time.

Goa had a contrasting tournament so far having won 2 and losing 2 matches and put themselves in the 4^th position. With some big teams in the Elite D Group, there is no margin for error. They had a good last outing on Sunday as they beat Rajasthan by 37 runs. By looking at the two teams Goa has more chances of winning this game.

This is not the tournament for Vidarbha to be remembered for long as they lost all their 4 matches and placed themselves at the bottom of the table with zero points. Not having T20 specialists and enough big hitters in their line up were the biggest reasons for their downfall in this tournament. Darshan Nalkande has impressed with the ball which is the only positive thing for Vidarbha. They look forward to ending this tournament with a win against Goa.
