Bengal will lock horns with Madhya Pradesh in the fourth round of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2023. This is a Group E fixture and will be held at the Dadoji Konddev Stadium in Thane.

Bengal won their first two games but finished on the losing side in their third match against Tamil Nadu in a low-scoring affair in Mumbai.

After being asked to bat first, Bengal’s batters faltered as they never got going and got bundled out on a paltry total of 84. Ishan Porel and Mohammed Kaif picked up two wickets each but it wasn’t enough as Tamil Nadu chased down the total in the 20th over with five wickets in hand.

Madhya Pradesh, meanwhile, are having a fantastic time in the competition. They have played three games so far and are yet to lose a single game. They beat Punjab in their last game comprehensively and will be looking to emulate the same performance on Wednesday.

Akshat Raghuwanshi scored 62 but lacked support from the other end as Madhya Pradesh got knocked over on 177. Arshad Khan and Kumar Kartikeya then grabbed three scalps to help them dismiss Punjab on 89 to win the game convincingly by 88 runs.
