Punjab, recently-crowned Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy champions, lost their second Vijay Hazare Trophy game on Monday to continue their disappointing 50-over form in domestic cricket.

They had beat Baroda in the SMAT final on November 6. They lost to the same opponents in their opening game of the Vijay Hazare Trophy at Thane last Thursday. And on Monday, Madhya Pradesh (MP) outclassed Mandeep Singh-led Punjab by 88 runs in another Vijay Hazare Trophy  Group ‘E’ match at MCA’s Bandra-Kurla complex ground.
