Match Details:

The Group B, Round 1 fixture of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2019 between Tripura and Vidarbha will be played at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram

The match starts at 9:00 AM IST (3:30 AM GMT).

Preview

Both Tripura and Vidarbha failed to find a great deal of success in the recently concluded Vijay Hazare Trophy. While Tripura managed to get over the line on four instances out of nine, Vidarbha won three out of eight. However, the shortest format of the game is much more unpredictable and they can turn the tables around. In the upcoming Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2019, both these sides will like to change their fortunes.

In any T20 tournament, early wins play a very important role. They set the pace and momentum for the upcoming fixtures and teams that manage to win in the early stages stand a good chance of making it through to the next round. Both these sides clearly understand this fact and will want to put their best efforts in order to make early inroads in the tournament.
