Punjab will square off against Goa in Round III of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow will host this encounter.
After getting off to a winning start to the competition, Punjab failed to carry their winning momentum forward as they suffered a loss against Maharashtra in the following game.
It was a disappointing showing from the batters after being asked to bat first. They could only manage to score 137 in their 20 overs, losing six wickets. The bowlers tried hard but couldn’t defend the total as Maharashtra won the game by seven wickets in the 18th over.
Meanwhile, Goa lost their opening game against Odisha but bounced back to beat Puducherry in their next match. Batting first, Goa posted 161 in their 20 overs, thanks to a good innings from Aditya Kaushik.
The bowlers then stepped up to restrict Puducherry to 152, winning the game by nine runs. It was a closely-fought contest but the bowlers from Goa held their nerves to seal the game.
