Vijay Hazare Trophy 2023, Goa vs Punjab: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast
Goa will be locking horns with Punjab in the fourth round of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2023. This Group E clash will be held at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on November 29.
Goa haven’t had the best of starts to the tournament. They suffered a heavy loss against Madhya Pradesh before losing to Tamil Nadu in their next match, which was a closely fought one. They will have to fire in unison to open their account in this year’s competition.
Arjun Tendulkar and Darshan Misal picked up two wickets each to help Goa restrict Tamil Nadu to 296/8. In reply, Snehal Kauthankar (55) and Krishamurthy Siddharth (61) hit fifties but it wasn’t enough as they got bundled out on 263 to lose the game by 33 runs.
Punjab are also struggling in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2023. They have played two games so far, losing both. After losing to Baroda in their opening game, they failed to bounce back against Madhya Pradesh.
Siddarth Kaul grabbed four wickets as Punjab did a fine job of knocking over Madhya Pradesh on 177. What followed was a disappointing effort from their batters as they got dismissed on 89 in 18.4 overs to lose the game by 88 runs.
