Playing history
editGoa lost all five matches in their first season,[1] and did not win until 1996–97, in their 56th match, when they defeated Karnataka by an innings.[2]
Goa's best ever performance came in the 2013–14 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy where they finished 3rd. They missed out on the finals due to Net Run Rate. Goa fell short by roughly two balls. Needing to chase the total in 14.4 overs to lift their net run rate, they needed 4 runs to win after 14.3 overs. Goa lost wickets in the next two deliveries and scored a four by 14.6 overs.[3] Goa captain Swapnil Asnodkar and Sagun Kamat were the second and third highest run scorers of the tournament respectively. Harshad Gadekar finished as the second highest wicket taker of the tournament.
