Vijay Hazare Trophy 2019-20: Round 12 and Rescheduled matches: Round Up

Plenty of cricket was played in the Vijay Hazare Trophy on Thursday and it saw some cracking contests between top sides. Maharashtra and Karnataka played out an absolute belter of a contest, while the games between Jammu & Kashmir – Madhya Pradesh and Hyderabad  – Andhra went down the wire as well.

Devdutt Paddikal, Manish Pandey and KL Rahul smashed half-centuries for Karnataka as they piled up a brilliant 312 runs batting first against Mumbai. Shivam Dube registered a scintillating hundred as Mumbai came very close to achieving their target, but fell nine runs short of their target.

Powered by the teenage sensation Tilak Verma’s fabulous knock in a rain-marred game, Hyderabad posted 171 runs batting first in their 20 overs. Batting was always going to be difficult on this track, but Andhra did look in a decent position at 125/3 in 16 overs. But the Hyderabadi death bowlers pulled the strings brilliantly towards the end and ensured they won the game by 7 runs.

Chhattisgarh stun Jharkhand in a low-scoring game

In a rather surprising outcome, Chhattisgarh surprised a much-stronger Jharkhand unit in their Group A & B fixture. Jharkhand got bowled out for just 119 runs batting first courtesy Veer Pratap Singh picking up a five-fer. The target was chased down in 28.3 overs, with Ashutosh Singh scoring a half-century for Chhattisgarh.

A stellar all-round performance from Yusuf Pathan remained the biggest talking point of the day. He smashed an 80-ball 83, which included 6 fours and 5 sixes and that allowed Baroda to put up 249 runs on the board. He also chipped in with a 3/33 with his off-breaks as Baroda restricted Maharashtra to 224 runs, winning the game by 25 runs.
