With no buzz having been created locally, the Dadoji Konddev Stadium had just a handful of spectators, including a few promising cricketers. All of them witnessed a thrilling start to the Vijay Hazare Trophy Group E proceedings, thanks to Punjab and Baroda.
The clash turned out to be an even more exciting affair than the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy final earlier this month between the same two sides. Baroda defended a moderate total of 214 to snatch a win by the narrowest of margins.
