Maharashtra will come into the Round 3 contest with back-to-back wins over Rajasthan and Services, and will eye to make it three on the bounce against a struggling Meghalaya.

Meghalaya have been disappointing thus far in the tournament, losing by 126 runs to Himachal Pradesh and 132 runs to Railways, and would want to desperately string a good show at the DY Patil Academy in Round 3.

The tournament comes with much added significance as the ICC Champions Trophy is less than two months away. 

While the majority of the squad picks itself, there are still places up for grabs and good performances in the Vijay Hazare Trophy will put players in good stead ahead of the squad selection. 

India last played an ODI series in July and thus the tournament will play a crucial role for players on the fringe of the Indian side.
