VID vs AND Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Updates for Today's Vijay Hazare Trophy Match - Feb 20, 2021
Vidarbha will lock horns with Andhra in a Round I - Elite Group B match of the Vijay Hazare Trophy at the SS Cricket Commune in Indore on Saturday. This game marks the arrival of the domestic one-day competition season in India.
A total of 103 matches will be played over a duration of 25 days, with the final scheduled to be played on March 14. As many as 38 teams will be competing in this tournament to take home the prestigious Vijay Hazare Trophy.
Vidarbha had a dismal Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy campaign as they failed to register even a single victory in their five games. However, the Faiz Fazal-led side will be starting afresh and will hope for better results in the domestic one-day competition. They have a perfect balance between young talent and experienced players in their ranks.
Andhra, on the other hand, managed to pick up just one win from their five Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy games and finished at the penultimate position in Elite Group E. Nonetheless, Andhra will look for better results in the Vijay Hazare Trophy under the leadership of new captain Hanuma Vihari.
They boast of a strong batting line-up with the likes of Ricky Bhui and Ashwin Hebbar. Meanwhile, medium-pacer Harishankar Reddy, who received his maiden IPL call-up, will fancy his chances heading into this encounter.
This game is going to be an entertaining one as both teams will be kicking off their campaign with this fixture and would like to start on a high note.

Pitch Report
Looking at the previous club matches played at SS Cricket Commune, the wicket seems to be a sporting one. The track has helped both the batsmen and the bowlers. The teams batting first have won the majority of the games played at this venue. The captain who wins the toss would like to bat first and put healthy runs on the board. Anything over 140 runs would be a good defendable total at this venue.
