Fantasy Cricket Tips for Vijay Hazare Trophy

Round 3 of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2021 has Mumbai taking on Puducherry at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Thursday.

Mumbai have been the team to beat in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, with two strong performances over the last week or so. With a star-studded batting unit in place, Mumbai blew away Maharashtra in their previous match. The likes of Dhawal Kulkarni and Prithvi Shaw are in fine form, which should stand them in good stead ahead of this game.

Their opponents, Puducherry have struggled against Rajasthan and Delhi, and are rooted to the bottom of the points table. With two losses in two games, Puducherry are in a race against time and will want to get off the mark as soon as possible. However, their task gets even more difficult against Mumbai, with Shardul Thakur set to make a return for the heavyweights.

For the minnows, the duo of Sheldon Jackson and Paras Dogra will be the key in this game. All in all, we should be in for a cracking game of cricket with two valuable points up for grabs at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium.

Pitch Report

A relatively high-scoring game beckons at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, with the par score being about 260-270. The pacers should get the ball to move around, with the spinners also coming into play as the game progresses.

The batsmen will need to bide their time in the middle before going big towards the latter half of the innings. Both teams would want to bat first upon winning the toss, although the conditions shouldn't change between the innings.
