Vidarbha's Batsmen Struggle, Losing Advantage Against Saurashtra
Despite veteran pacer Umesh Yadav's excellent four-wicket performance that limited defending champions Saurashtra to 206 in the first innings, Vidarbha faced a challenging situation. Their batting collapsed to 26 for 4, trailing by 180 runs and losing the advantage gained earlier in the Elite Group A Ranji match.
Saurashtra, aiming for a recovery after a previous four-wicket defeat against Punjab, witnessed an ineffective batting display in this encounter.
