The Great Punjab Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 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.

QuarantineTormentino Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Punjab vs Karnataka again? Didn’t they just play against each other in group stage? Link to comment
neel roy Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 All of whom following the SMA trophy.. any new talent other than the ones we know via ipl. Last years SMA threw up Padikkal anyone this year? Bowling or batting based on performance against top teams? Link to comment
Vickydev Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Strong Punjab team on paper. Karnataka missing quite a few players. Wonder where are Pandey and More? Link to comment
express bowling Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Padikkal batting well But while stroking on the front foot on the off side ... he is playing with a sliced bat and a bit away from the body. He may have issues if the bowlers are a bit quicker than those he is playing now. Did not see this issue that much in the IPL Mosher 1 Link to comment
Vickydev Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Wretched start from Karnataka. Would be interesting to see what Joshi can do Link to comment
jusarrived Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Gopal is probably better equipped technically than Karnataka top order bats Link to comment
ShoonyaSifar Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 This Motera pitch looks to have decent carry. But bowlers not having the pace or strength to use it to their advantage Link to comment
Vickydev Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 This is the worst standard of cricket Ive seen in SMA this year. What a poor game for the KOs Mosher, express bowling and sarchasm 3 Link to comment
express bowling Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 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 Mosher, tweaker and sarchasm 3 Link to comment

Don’t know what happened to teams like Mumbai and Karnataka this season. Link to comment
jusarrived Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Nair doesn't deserve a spot in Karnataka side,hasn't done anything for 3-4 years now..hogs the opener slot which should be Bharats Link to comment

Plus they played much better as a unit last season, with different players stepping up at different times. Link to comment
ShoonyaSifar Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Even Arshdeep getting it to lift upto the throat. Karnataka batsmen didn't assess the bounce properly and went for shots Link to comment
rkt.india Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Most of the teams in QF this year aren't exciting Suhaan 1 Link to comment

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 Link to comment
