Puducherry has been winless since their victory over Odisha in the 2021 season. They concluded the 2022 season with no wins and are yet to win a match in the 2023 season. So far, they haven’t even come close to tasting victory. After their first match ended in abandonment, they lost all three of their following matches by significant margins. Jharkhand defeated them by four wickets with three balls remaining in the first match and Bengal beat them by 62 runs in the second. Their most recent match against Maharashtra was particularly dismal as they wiped the floor with Puducherry, achieving victory by eight wickets with 35 balls to spare after winning the toss and electing to field first.
Vidarbha has had entirely inverted results as they have managed to clinch victories in all three of their matches so far and by considerable margins. They defeated Uttarakhand by seven wickets with ten balls remaining, overcame Rajasthan by six wickets with one ball to spare, and, in what might be their most satisfying win so far, they beat Bengal by seven wickets with 13 balls to spare.
