Vijay Hazare Trophy: Ishan Kishan's blitzkreig and Pawan Negi's fiery spell headline rain-hit day
In his third domestic match, Negi returned with extraordinary figures of 6-0-17-7 as Arunachal Pradesh batting caved in for 61 all-out.
The match between Bihar and Puducherry at Nadiad was abandoned. All the three matches of the Vijay Hazare Trophy Elite Group A to be played Monday in Karnataka, including the Mumbai-Vidarbha clash, were abandoned following rains, leading the teams involved to share points.
"Our match was washed out due to rains," an official, who is with the Mumbai team, said. Both Vidarbha and Mumbai, which were to clash in Alur near Bengaluru, shared two points each.
Earlier in the 50-over tournament, Mumbai had won all their three games, against Baroda, Karnataka and Railways.
Another Group A match -- Baroda versus Punjab - which was also to be played in Alur, was abandoned. The two teams got two points each. The Goa versus Karnataka match, which was to be played in Bengaluru, was abandoned and the two teams shared points.
The next round of the Hazare Trophy Elite Group A matches will be played Wednesday with Baroda taking on Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh clashing with Vidarbha and Maharashtra up against Railways.
