Vijay Hazare Trophy Quarterfinals: Karnataka vs TN, UP vs HP: Preview, Live Telecast, Live Streaming Info

While
Himachal
had
made
a
direct
entry
to
the
quarterfinals,
Uttar
Pradesh
secured
a
hard-fought
five
wicket
win
over
Madhya
Pradesh
on
Sunday
to
make
the
last-eight
stage.

Likewise,
Tamil
Nadu
stormed
into
the
quarterfinals
directly,
while
Karnataka
outclassed
Rajasthan
to
make
the
last
eight
of
the
national
ODI
championship.

Uttar
Pradesh
will
rely
on
their
experienced
campaigner
Akshdeep
Nath,
who
played
a
vital
role
in
the
team’s
win
over
MP.

But,
he
would
need
support
from
his
top-order
colleagues
—
especially
openers
Madhav
Kaushik
and
young
wicket-keeper
Aryan
Juyal,
skipper
Karan
Sharma
and
Sameer
Rizvi.

If
all
of
them
fire
in
unison,
the
Himachal
bowlers
will
have
a
tough
time.
Another
important
cog
in
UP’s
wheel
is
aggressive
left-handed
batter
Rinku
Singh,
who
took
the
side
home
against
MP.

Their
formidable
bowling
attack
is
led
by
ace
India
speedster
Bhuvneshwar
Kumar
and
includes
Ankit
Rajpoot,
24-year-old
Yash
Dayal
and
Shivam
Mavi.
Slow
left-arm
bowler
Shivam
Sharma
will
also
be
keen
to
play
a
part.

UP
are
unlikely
to
tinker
with
their
winning
combination.
For
Himachal,
their
biggest
asset
is
skipper
Rishi
Dhawan,
who
is
a
bowling
all-rounder
and
can
contribute
with
both
the
bat
and
ball.

But
Dhawan
would
need
support
from
his
top-order
batters,
which
comprises
wicket-keeper
Shubham
Arora,
Prashant
Chopra,
Nikhil
Gangta
and
left-handed
Amit
Thakur.

Left-arm
orthodox
spinner
Mayank
Dagar
will
play
a
key
role
for
Himachal,
along
with
skipper
Dhawan.
While
Uttar
Pradesh
will
have
the
edge,
they
would
not
want
to
take
Himachal
lightly
in
what
promises
to
be
an
interesting
match.

Karnataka
confident

Meanwhile,
Karnataka
would
be
confident
after
the
eight-wicket
thrashing
of
Rajasthan
in
the
pre-quarters
and
would
be
keen
to
raise
their
game
against
arch-rivals
TN,
who
too
have
been
in
good
form
in
the
tournament.

Karnataka
have
one
of
the
best
batting
line-ups
in
the
form
of
Ravikumar
Samarth,
Devdutt
Padikkal,
Krishnamurthy
Siddharth,
skipper
Manish
Pandey,
Abhinav
Manohar
and
K
Gowtham.

This
batting
unit
can
take
any
attack
apart
and
Tamil
Nadu
bowlers
would
be
well
aware
of
that.
Karnataka’s
bowling
attack,
led
by
Prasidh
Krishna,
will
have
its
task
cut
out
against
a
strong
TN
batting
line-up.

Tamil
Nadu
had
beaten
Karnataka
in
the
league
phase
in
Thiruvananthapuram
and
would
be
keen
to
do
so
again,
albeit
at
a
different
venue
and
in
different
conditions.

In
N
Jagadeesan,
B
Indrajith,
Dinesh
Karthik,
captain
Vijay
Shankar,
M
S
Washington
Sundar
and
the
power-hitter
M
Shahrukh
Khan,
the
team
has
the
batters
who
can
go
after
the
opposition
bowling.

Young
batter
B
Sai
Sudharsan,
in
his
maiden
season,
has
been
a
good
addition
at
the
top,
and
can
score
at
a
quick
rate
too.

Washington
Sundar,
on
a
comeback
trail
after
an
injury
during
the
tour
of
England,
has
12
wickets
but
would
be
expected
to
make
substantial
scores
too
and
his
role
in
the
crunch
game
will
be
crucial.

Fellow
spinners
R
Sai
Kishore,
M
Siddharth
and
R
Sanjay
Yadav
would
be
vital
for
Tamil
Nadu’s
chances.

Karnataka
and
Tamil
Nadu
have
been
involved
in
some
thrilling
contests
in
the
past,
including
the
recent
Syed
Mushtaq
Ali
Trophy
final
in
which
Shahrukh
Khan
sealed
the
match
for
TN
with
a
last
ball
six.

The
winners
on
Tuesday
could
very
well
go
all
the
way
in
the
championship.
