In the Round 1 Plate Group match of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021-22, Vidarbha and Arunachal Pradesh will take on each other at Gokaraju Liala Gangaaraju ACA Cricket Ground, Mulapadu.
Vidarbha were placed in Elite Group D last season. Interestingly, they lost all five matches they were part of. The side have been relegated to the Plate Group this year after their poor showing last year.
However, the new season will bring a ray of hope for the side to put up some impressive performances.
Vidarbha selectors have shown faith in the same squad. If the side tops the table by the end of the league stage, they will have a chance to compete against bigger teams in the knockout stages.
Arunachal Pradesh also have a similar story as they lost all five encounters they were part of last year. They have also been placed in the Plate Group this season and have many new names in their squad compared to last year.
Arunachal Pradesh would love to turn the tables when they take on the stronger Vidarbha side. Vidarbha will enter this encounter as strong favorites.
