Summary
The Bengal team, led by Abhimanyu Easwaran, will be looking to bounce back after a mixed start in the Vijay Hazare Trophy Elite Group B. With seasoned pacer Mohammed Shami leading the bowling attack alongside the ever-reliable Mukesh Kumar and Akash Deep, Bengal’s bowling unit has the experience to trouble any batting line-up on its day.
Their batting, anchored by Easwaran and supported by the likes of Shahbaz Ahmed and Abishek Porel, has the depth to post competitive totals, but consistency will be key if they’re to climb up the points table.
On the other side, Chandigarh are eager to register their first win of the campaign and will lean heavily on their top order to set the tone. Led by captain Manan Vohra, their batting boasts dangerous hitters like Arslan Khan, Tushar Joshi and Arjun Azad, who can turn the game with quick runs if given room early.
The bowling attack, with options such as Taranpreet Singh and Jagjit Singh, will aim to strike early and make life difficult for Bengal’s batters on a pitch that has offered something for both disciplines so far.
