Vijay Hazare Trophy 2019 | Rain plagued day in Dehradun produces a single result

The match between Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim at the Abhimanyu Cricket Stadium was initially delayed due to a wet outfield but continuous downpour meant the toss could never take place. Both teams had lost their opening group stage matches and will have to wait longer to record their first victory in the tournament.

The match between Assam and uttarakhand was also a bit delayed but play was able to start later on as the length was reduced to 28 overs per side. Winning the toss, Uttarakhand opted to bowl first in what was always going to be a low scoring encounter. Even though the openers started out strong as they built a half-century partnership and both crossed the milestone of 30 runs, Pawan Negi’s breakthrough in the 11th over saw wickets tumbling one after the other. A good cameos by the middle-order saw Assam’s score being driven to a defendable 171/9, with Negi ending up three wickets.

The match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium between Mizoram and Puducherry never really looked like it’ll go through as the two teams never got the chance to even take the field. While Mizoram had lost one game and one won ahead of the day’s match, their counterparts had recorded a victory in their only game.
