Vijay Hazare Trophy 2019-20: Round 15, Elite Group C, Tripura vs Bihar - Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update

Match Details:

The Round 15 match of the Elite Group C in the 2019-20 Vijay Hazare Trophy will be played between Tripura and Bihar at the KL Saini Ground in Jaipur.

The match starts at 9:00 AM local time (IST) (3:30 AM GMT).

Preview for Dream11 Fantasy:

We are down to the last round of the 2019-20 Vijay Hazare Trophy and the Elite Group C encounter will see Tripura take on Bihar in Jaipur. Both sides have had a forgettable season thus far. Tripura has managed just three wins out of eight games despite a great start to the season.

Bihar, on the other hand, has been even more abysmal.  They haven’t managed a single win in this season thus far, and are coming off a five-wicket loss at the hands of Services where their bowlers were unable to defend 267. Tripura is also currently on a three-match losing streak. They come into this game after suffering the ignominy of a heartbreaking one-wicket loss at the hands of Railways.

Weather Report:

Another bright and sunny day is expected in the Pink City tomorrow. As per the weather report, the humidity is expected to be around 38% while the temperatures will hover between 23-34 degrees.

Pitch Condition/Report:

In the last match played at the venue between Gujarat and Jammu Kashmir, Gujarat breezed past the stiff target of 280 set by JK with ridiculous ease, suggesting that the wicket stays true for its entirety of 100 overs. Much of the same is expected for this game.

Average first innings score: 250 (In 13  matches at the venue this season)

Record of the chasing teams: Won – 8; Lost – 5
