More than 400 runs were scored in the first game of the WPL 2025, but things have slowed down a bit in the last two fixtures. Mumbai scored 164 in the second game, which UP chased down on the final delivery of the game. Then in the next match, the Giants took 18 overs to hunt down 143.
The surface has looked decent for batting and 160 should at least be scored in the first innings to have a chance to win the game.
There will be no rain in Vadodara on Tuesday, and the temperature is expected to be around 30 degrees Celsius.
