Uttar Pradesh will lock horns with Delhi in the third round of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2021. Cricket Stadium in Sector-16 in Chandigarh will host this Elite Group C fixture.

Uttar Pradesh are struggling in the competition, having lost both their games so far. They suffered a heavy loss against Jharkhand in their last encounter.

After being asked to bat first, Uttar Pradesh posted 239 on the board, thanks to a brilliant century by Rinku Singh. The bowlers then failed to step up. They struggled to pick up wickets as Jharkhand chased down the total in the 47th over with eight wickets in hand.

Delhi, meanwhile, got off to a winning start to the competition but failed to carry forward the winning momentum as they lost to Hyderabad in their next fixture. It was a disappointing performance from them and they will be looking to get back to winning ways.

Delhi skipper Pradeep Sangwan won the toss and opted to bowl first. The decision backfired as Hyderabad posted a mammoth 325 on the board. There were contributions from the Delhi batters, but the lack of a big partnership resulted in them falling short by 79 runs. Delhi lost nine wickets in the process and will be looking for an improved performance in their next fixture.
