Ranji Trophy 2022, Hyderabad vs Chandigarh: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Weather Forecast & Pitch Report

Hyderabad will take on Chandigarh in a Ranji Trophy match of Elite Group B. The Vikash Cricket Ground in Bhubaneshwar will host this encounter.

The Ranji Trophy is finally here after a two-year break due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Hyderabad and Chandigarh are in Elite Group B. Hyderabad had a horrible season in 2019-20. They were at the bottom of the points table with only one win in the entire season. They played eight matches, won just with six losses and a draw. Hanuma Vihari is their star player.

Hyderabad have the likes of Tilak Verma and Akshath Reddy in their squad. Tanmay Agarwal will lead them as they look to put up an improved display this season.

Chandigarh, on the other hand, had a good season in 2019-20. They played nine matches and won four of them. They didn’t lose any games as five matches ended in a draw. Chandigarh played in the Plate group that season while they’ll be playing in the Elite group this season.

Things won’t be easy for them but they will look to do well against strong teams. Manan Vohra is the captain of Chandigarh and is a very talented batter. They also have U-19 stars like Harnoor Singh and Raj Bawa in their squad who are coming off a triumphant campaign in the recent U-19 World Cup.
