Summary
The Vijay Hazare Trophy’s group stage kicks off with an intriguing clash between Maharashtra and Punjab, set for December 24 at the Anantam Ground in Jaipur. Both teams have plenty of motivation: Maharashtra will be eager to start on the front foot after reaching the latter stages last season, while Punjab, loaded with big names like Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma and Arshdeep Singh, will be looking to stamp their authority early in the competition.
Maharashtra’s batting is built around the prolific top order, with captain Ruturaj Gaikwad and the likes of Siddesh Veer, Prithvi Shaw and Ankit Bawne capable of putting big scores together if they find form. Their bowling attack, while not as headline-grabbing, has shown the discipline needed in List A cricket, especially in middle overs when matches are often won or lost.
On the flip side, Punjab’s batting firepower gives them a slightly different edge; Gill and Abhishek can change the complexion of the game quickly, and Prabhsimran Singh’s consistency in the middle order has been a key strength for them.
