Yusuf Pathan-led Baroda will play against Maharashtra in the West Zone leg of the Vijay Hazare trophy in a day-night match here tomorrow.

Both the teams have equal chance to qualify for the next round and winner of the match will enter into the knockout stage of the trophy.

Baroda started the tournament in style by beating Mumbai in the opening match, but Maharashtra look a more balance team.

Baroda's fortune to qualify for the next round would rely on their in-from skipper Yusuf Pathan. Saurabh Wakaskar is another batsman, who made a century in the tournament for Baroda.

Irfan Pathan, who started bowling in this tournament, looked impressive as he generated good speed and also took wickets.
 

From the Maharashtra side, batsmen like Ankit Bawne, Nikhil Naik, Srikant Mundhe have done well with the bat, while seamers Samad Fallah and Dominic Joseph would handle the new ball.

Gujarat have already qualified for the next round having 12 points and will play against Saurashtra tomorrow at Madhavrao Scindia cricket ground. Saurashtra has lost all three matches in the tournament. Mumbai, too, could not qualify for the next round.
