Punjab vs Karnataka

 

Despite Karnataka missing a couple of players, they are still favorites having the experience of performing in knockout stages. Devdutt is obviously the key player upfront but Karnataka tend to play as as team. Punjab has choked and usually underperformed in key knockout matches.  To pull of a upset, Punjab would require the opening duo of Abhishek and Prabhsimran  to keep their form and give a good start.  The middle order hasn't had much exposure though Mandeep and Gurkeerat got a bat last time around against Tripura.  The most disappointing has been the decline of Anmolpreet since the u19 especially his fitness. No real spark in Punjab's bowling.

 

 

Tamil Nadu vs Himachal

Tamil Nadu are huge favorites here.  The spin factory from TN is their forte coupled with Jagadesan at the top and Karthik in the middle order along with Baba's allround performance. Himachal would require a herculian effort to overthrow TN.


Haryana vs Baroda
Unsure of this one but Haryana's bowling does give them an advantage.  Baroda will be missing a couple of few players. Giving close edge to Haryana.

 

Rajasthan vs Bihar

Rajasthan seem firm favorites against the Plate group toppers Bihar.  The plate group didn't make sense as there were 8 teams but each team only played 5 matches. The rained out match between Chandigarh/Nagaland put Bihar on top.

Pathetic batting by Karnataka against a very slow Punjab pace attack.

 

They are just throwing away their wickets to very average deliveries.

 

I wanted Karnataka to advance for the sake of Prasidh and Padikkal.

 

Punjab has Abhishek and Prabhsimran ofcourse, as Team India prospects 

I would prefer Punjab advance honestly, Karnataka have been underwhelming this season. Don’t know what happened to teams like Mumbai and Karnataka this season.

P Krishna has worked on his follow through. Good to see.

 

Both these Kar bowlers showing the bounce in this track. This pitch deserved better batting line-ups.

All QFs, SFs snd the final will be at Motera. Hopefully the curator keeps it as a sporting pitch even for international matches
