NAGPUR: For the first time this season in Cooch Behar Trophy, Vidarbha experienced a top-order collapse in the first hour or so of the match on Saturday. Vidarbha were in big trouble with the top-4 in-form batters back in the hut by the 17th over with not even 50 runs on board in an all important quarterfinal match against Maharahstra in Pune.
Maharashtra pacers had put Vidarbha under pressure. However, Vidarbha skipper Mohd. Faiz (120 n.o; 243b, 12x4, 1x6) rescued his side with a courageous unbeaten century.
