India's premier domestic T20 tournament - Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy - has found its two finalists for the ongoing domestic season in India. Punjab and Baroda will lock horns in the title clash at PCA IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali on November 6 (Monday). While Punjab defeated Delhi in the semifinal by six wickets, Baroda got the better of Riyan Parag-led Assam in their knockout game on Saturday (November 4).
Punjab topped group C in the league stage winning six out of seven matches as their only loss came at the hands of Saurashtra in their season opener. Punjab are currently on an eight-match winning streak and will be looking to continue their winning run in the final as well. On the other hand, Baroda ended at the second position in group A with six wins and they lost only to table-toppers Mumbai by three runs. Even Baroda have won their last six matches and it remains to be seen which team will be able to maintain its consistency in the final.
