The ODI World Cup may have concluded over the weekend. But the one-day format will be on the minds of the domestic fraternity despite the cricket world moving into the T20 mode, with an eye on next year’s T20 World Cup.
Interestingly, Punjab and Baroda — the two teams that faced each other in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy final earlier this month — will revive their rivalry on Thursday on the opening day of the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
On November 6, Mandeep Singh’s Punjab halted Baroda’s brilliant run in a high-scoring SMAT final.
