The fifth round of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2021 sees Baroda take on Tamil Nadu. The KCA Cricket Ground in Mangalapuram, Trivandrum will host this exciting contest.
Baroda have managed to win only a single game in the competition so far. They faced Karnataka in their last encounter and suffered a loss.
After being asked to bat first, it was a disappointing display from the batters as they were bundled out on 176. The bowlers failed to step up as they couldn't defend the total.
Karnataka chased down the total with six wickets in hand, leading to a third defeat for Baroda.
Tamil Nadu, meanwhile, were on a roll in the competition, winning three games on the trot until their progress was halted in their last match by Puducherry.
After electing to field first, the bowlers did a fine job to restrict Puducherry to 225. The batters tried their level best but kept losing wickets at regular intervals as they fell short by a solitary run.
They lost nine wickets in the process and suffered a heart-breaking loss. Tamil Nadu will be eager to get back to winning ways.
