Vijay Hazare Trophy 2021: Madhya Pradesh vs Uttarakhand

Madhya Pradesh will face Uttarakhand at Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium Ground C in Rajkot in the third round of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2021 in an elite Group D clash.

Madhya Pradesh got back to winning ways in the second match as they were defeated in the first by Maharashtra. Venkatesh Iyer scored a ton against Kerela as they posted 329 on the board after being asked to bat first.

The bowlers then took charge and stepped up to knock over Kerala on 289, winning the game by 40 runs. They will be looking to carry forward the winning momentum.

Uttarakhand lost to Chhattisgarh in their opening game. They did bounce back to win a close-fought contest against Chandigarh in their next match. Bowling first, the bowlers did a decent job of restricting Chandigarh to 269. Uttarakhand got off to a quick start but kept losing wickets at regular intervals.

They barely managed to win the game as the tail-enders held their nerves to chase down the total with four balls to spare. They won the game by three wickets and will be high in confidence after emerging victorious.
