Vijay Hazare Trophy 2023, Manipur vs Vidarbha: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast

Round 2 of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2023 will be played on Saturday, November 25. Manipur and Vidarbha will go head-to-head at the Jaipuria Vidyalaya Ground in Jaipur in the Group B clash.

Manipur had a terrible start to the competition as they went down against Hyderabad on the opening day. After being asked to bat first, the Manipur batters got starts but failed to convert them into big scores as they got knocked over on 203.

L Kishan Singha grabbed three wickets but there weren’t enough runs on the board as Hyderabad got across the line in the 30th over.

Vidarbha, meanwhile, got off to a very good start as they defeated Meghalaya in their Round 1 clash on Thursday. It was a good all-around effort from them and will look to replicate the same performance on Saturday against the bruised Manipur.

Karun Nair, who has shifted his base to Vidarbha, top-scored with 67 as they finished their innings on 243/9. What followed was a spirited performance from their bowlers as they dismissed Meghalaya on 211 to win the game by 32 runs, with Darshan Nalkande finishing with three scalps to his name.
