Jharkhand-Bengal Vijay Hazare Trophy semi-final clash postponed



The second semi-final of this season's Vijay Hazare Trophy, scheduled to be held on Friday (March 17) between Jharkhand and Bengal, has had to be rescheduled to Saturday following a fire that engulfed the hotel where the Jharkhand team was staying - in Dwarka, New Delhi.
