Vijay Hazare Trophy 2023, Group C, Chandigarh vs Mizoram: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report and Live Streaming Details
The Round 1 match of the 2023 Vijay Hazare Trophy is set to kick off on November 23, featuring an encounter between Chandigarh and Mizoram. The Group C showdown will take place at the Gujarat College Ground in Ahmedabad.
Chandigarh had a pretty good campaign in the 2022 edition of the Vijay Hazare Trophy. With five wins and two losses, they finished fourth in the points table. However, despite tying in points with the top three teams, they missed out on the preliminary quarter-finals due to a lower negative Net Run Rate (NRR).
On the other hand, Mizoram had a disappointing campaign as they finished at the foot of the Group E points table with six consecutive defeats. Skipper, Taruwar Kohli was the leading run-getter for their side.
The upcoming season will see Manan Vohra continuing to lead Chandigarh, supported by players like Sandeep Sharma, Murugan Ashwin, and Arslan Khan. Arslan, the top-scorer for Chandigarh in the previous edition, amassed 390 runs in seven games, while Sandeep led the bowling attack with 13 wickets.
Lalhruai Ralte will take the helm for Mizoram, accompanied by talents like G Lalbiakvela. The team comprises a mix of young talents and emerging local players who have kickstarted their cricketing journey in the List A format.
