Preview:
Tamil Nadu will take on defending champions Mumbai in the Elite Group B match of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2021/22 on Wednesday. Tamil Nadu will be buzzing with confidence after sealing an improbable victory over Karnataka in the final of the Syed Mushtaq Trophy. It’s a different ball game in this competition and they need to make small adjustments as well. The five-time champions didn’t make it to the knockouts in the last edition as they finished second in the Elite Group B standings with 12 points.
Mumbai had an exceptional tournament in the last edition where they won the tournament without losing a single match. They chased down 312 runs in just 41.3 overs to win the competition for the fourth time. All-rounder Shams Mulani will lead the side this year.
