Ranji Trophy, 2018
Vidarbha vs Mumbai, Round 8, Elite Group A Match Preview
The defending champions Vidarbha will next take on one of the heavyweights of Ranji Trophy history, Mumbai. Talking about the points table scenario, the defending champions Vidarbha are on the right track to defend their title with 2 wins and 4 draws from 6 games and are placed third in Elite Group A and B.
Meanwhile, Mumbai are going through a seriously rough patch in their Ranji Trophy history as they are yet to open their account this year after playing 6 matches. They have managed 5 draws and lost once against Gujarat by 9 wickets.
Mumbai’s struggle is vindictive and they have to get some wins under their belt to prove a statement and get themselves a life in the tournament.
Vidarbha, on the other hand, have been showcasing some good cricket and with the form by their side, they are not at all looking like losing this encounter to a struggling Mumbai outfit.
Venue- Vidarbha Cricket Association Ground, Nagpur
