NAGPUR: The Vidarbha Under-19 side got another boost on Sunday ahead of their knockouts. Their skipper, Mohd Faiz, one of the fearless batters on the circuit, has hit form just at the right time. The southpaw missed a century by one run, but his 153-ball stay was a testimony of him getting into the groove.
Courtesy Faiz and his 139-run partnership with the in-form Jagjot Sasan, who hit 101, Vidarbha responded strongly to Odisha on Day 2 of the Cooch Behar Trophy tie. Vidarbha are leading by 294 runs and will press for an outright win in the remaining two days.
