Maharashtra will lock horns against Uttarakhand in the fourth round of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2021. Madhav Rao Scindia Cricket Ground in Rajkot will host this Elite Group D fixture.
Maharashtra after winning the first two games of the competition failed to carry their winning momentum forward as they lost to Kerala in their third game in a high-scoring affair. After being asked to bat first, Maharashtra posted 294 on the board, thanks to a scintillating century from Ruturaj Gaikwad and a 99 from Rahul Tripathi.
The bowlers struggled to pick wickets as they failed to keep a check on the scoring rate and Kerala chased down the total with seven balls to spare. Maharashtra’s progress was halted by Kerala and they will be looking to bounce back in the competition.
Uttarakhand lost to Madhya Pradesh in their last game. They have won only a single game out of three so far and will be looking to get back to winning ways. Batting first, Madhya Pradesh posted 330 on the board, losing seven wickets. The Uttarakhand batters tried their level best but failed to chase down the total as they were restricted to 253, losing the game by 77 runs.
