After six encounters were abandoned on the opening day, the fans will hope that the action returns on the second day of Vijay Hazare Trophy 2019. The matches scheduled to take place at Vadodara and Bengaluru were called off because of rain. With the two venues set to host more matches on 25th September, the teams will pray that the rain does not play spoilsport again.

Talking about the matches that are scheduled for day 2 now, Tamil Nadu who registered a 6 wicket win against Rajasthan will lock horns with Services as all eyes will be on Abhinav Mukund, Baba Aparajith and Dinesh Karthik. The trio will look to continue their fine form in the next match.

Defending champions, Mumbai will take on Jharkhand as the fans will witness a battle between Shreyas Iyer and Varun Aaron while Hyderabad will meet Goa in the other match.

Stars like Naman Ojha, Ishwar Pandey, Karn Sharma and Harmeet Singh will be in action at Jaipur.

Dehradun will play the host to the Plate matches where Meghalaya will look to repeat their first match's performance versus Pondicherry and, Mizoram too will try to maintain the winning momentum with a good outing against Assam.
