Vijay Hazare Trophy 2023, Group B, Meghalaya vs Vidarbha: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report and Live Streaming Details
Vijay Hazare Trophy 2023 begins on November 23. Meghalaya will face Vidarbha in Round 1 in a Group B clash on the opening day at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
Meghalaya failed to qualify for the knockout stages of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022 after winning only a single game out of seven. They were placed in Group B last year and finished seventh. They will certainly have to bring out their A-game this year to make it to the knockout stages.
Right-handed batter Rajesh Bishnoi has been handed the responsibility of leading Meghalaya in the upcoming edition of the Vijay Hazare Trophy. It is an inexperienced unit. The likes of Kishan Lyngdoh, Anish Charak, and Raj Biswa will hold a key for them as they have been around the domestic circuit for a decent period.
Vidarbha had a roller-coaster experience in last year’s competition. They won three games out of seven and finished mid-table in Group B. They have promising young players on their side and can certainly qualify for the quarter-finals if they play to their potential.
Atharva Taide will be leading Vidarbha in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2023. Karun Nair has left Karnataka and will be representing Vidarbha. Jitesh Sharma, Umesh Yadav, and Dhruv Shorey have a good amount of experience under their belt. Their performances will likely dictate how far Vidarbha goes in the competition.
