Vijay Hazare Trophy | T20 rivalry set to filter into the one-day format as Punjab, Baroda face off again
The Hindu
Punjab and Baroda, who faced each other in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy final, will renew their rivalry in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Punjab head coach Aavishkar Salvi's family delivered a home-cooked meal for the team, while Krunal Pandya's Baroda trained hard with head coach Mukund Parmar and bowling coach S. Arvind monitoring closely. Tamil Nadu, the third powerhouse in Group E, will begin its campaign on Saturday. Punjab will be without Arshdeep Singh, one of its T20 triumph stars, who will be representing India in the T20I series. Thursday's matches will be a fresh start to the 50-over format, with all teams hoping to start off with a win.
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 the other side of the strip that’s been prepared under the watchful eyes of BCCI-appointed curator Y.L. Chandrasekhar Rao of Hyderabad, Krunal Pandya’s lot trained hard with head coach Mukund Parmar and bowling coach S. Arvind monitoring closely.
Some may feel that the Group E opening clash will be an opportunity for Baroda to settle its loss in the Mushtaq Ali Trophy final. But the team isn’t looking at it that way.
