The caravan of 2019-20 Vijay Hazare Trophy rolls and the Round 09 Elite Group C encounter will see Tamil Nadu lock horns with Tripura. 

Tamil Nadu has been on a rampage this season thus far. The Tamil Nadu-led unit has won each of their five games thus far and is coming into this game on the back of a clinical eight-wicket win over JK after a century from Murali Vijay [117] and an unbeaten half-century from Baba Aparajith [86*] guided past the target of 239 with ridiculous ease.

They’ll now face Tripura, who too are coming off a 47-run win at the expense of Rajasthan with Bishal Ghosh [128] and Tanmay Mishra [56] emerging as the spearheads.

Top Picks:

Tamil Nadu: Murali Vijay scored a scintillating 131-ball 117 while Baba Aparajith scored unbeaten 86 to guide TN to another win. This only makes their batting unit a destructive unit with the likes of Vijay Shankar [132 runs in 2 games], Shahrukh Khan [140 runs in 4 games] and off-course Dinesh Karthik who has posted 52*, 95, DNB, 97 in his last four innings. 

The bowling has been superbly led by K Vignesh [12 wickets in 5 games] and M Mohammed [9 wickets in 5 games] while Sai Kishore [2-17] was really impressive in the last game against JK.

Tripura: Bishal Ghosh [128] and Tanmay Mishra were the cornerstones of Tripura’s 47-run win in the last game. The onus will once again be on the duo to spearhead their batting unit. 

The bowling unit was superb in the last game. Everyone chipped in with wickets with Ajoy Sarkar leading the pack with 3-58.
