Vijay Hazare Trophy 2021, Chandigarh vs Uttarakhand: Probable XIs, Match prediction, Weather Forecast, and Pitch Report
Chandigarh are up against Uttarakhand in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2021-22 on Thursday, December 9, at the Madhav Rao Scindia Cricket Ground in Rajkot.
Chandigarh did not have the ideal start to the season. They suffered a six-wicket loss in their opening game against Kerala.
Batting first, Chandigarh could only put up a total of 184/8. Skipper Manan Vohra top-scored with 56. However, the rest of the batters failed to get going. Arpit Singh (25*) and Sandeep Sharma (26*) made some useful contributions at the end.
However, 184 runs were not going to be enough to defend. Kerala got home in just 34 overs after losing just four wickets. Jagjit Singh Sandhu, Yuvraj Choudhary, Jaskarandeep Singh and Arpit Singh each picked up a wicket.
Chandigarh will be hoping for an improved outing in this encounter.
Uttarakhand also lost their opening game against Chhattisgarh. Batting first, Chhattisgarh posted a modest score of 256/5. Agrim Tiwari and Ankit picked up three and two wickets each respectively for Uttarakhand.
They put up a decent effort in the chase but eventually fell short by 21 runs, finishing at 235/5. Robin Bist scored an unbeaten 130 while Swapnil Singh scored 57. However, their efforts went in vain as Uttarakhand failed to chase down the total.
Uttarakhand will be disappointed not to have finished the match as they came relatively close to doing so.
