TN vs KAR: After plenty of battles fought throughout the competition, the defending champions of the competition, Tamil Nadu, are all set to take on Karnataka for their upcoming encounter in the finals of Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021/22.
This will be one exhilarating contest of cricket, with some of the IPL stars in both teams. The two unbeaten teams in the tournament, Hyderabad and Vidarbha got knocked out in the penultimate match of the tournament. This is how unpredictable cricket is.
However, for Tamil Nadu, they’re walking into this encounter with an eight-wicket win over Hyderabad. Saravana Kumar’s magnificent 5/21 was the highlight of the match. His bowling helped bundle out Hyderabad for mere 90 runs. In reply, skipper Vijay Shankar (43*) & Sai Sudarshan (34*) stitched a brilliant 76-run partnership to storm into the finals.
As for Karnataka, they clinched a thrilling 4-run win over Vidarbha. Batting first, Rohan Kadam smashed a brilliant 56-ball 87 followed by skipper Manish Pandey’s brisk 54. Their knocks helped Karnataka get to 176/7. Chasing 177, every single batsman contributed with quick cameos, but they fell short of four runs. In the end, it was Karnataka who emerged victoriously and earned their ticket to the final.
Both the teams are in mind-blowing form and will put their all in for the ultimate encounter. In the last five encounters, Tamil Nadu have managed to win just a lone match against Karnataka. However, with the kind of form Tamil Nadu are in, they’d be the ones with the winning edge.
