Karnataka topped the Elite Group C with 35 points from seven games, winning four during that period. They have been a dominant force in the Ranji Trophy this campaign. They bulldozed past Uttarakhand in the quarter-finals, winning by 281 runs and an innings to spare. Muralidhara Venkatesh led the bowling department taking five wickets in the first innings. Shreyas Gopal played an impressive 161-run knock, earning him the player of the match award.
Saurashtra had a much closer encounter with Punjab in their quarter-final clash. With the match even poised for a great deal, Parth Bhut’s five-wicket haul in the final innings helped turn things in Saurashtra’s favour. He also contributed with the bat scoring a century in the first innings. His exploits formed a crucial part, for which he was awarded the player of the match award.
The pitch at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium is known to be friendlier to the spinners as compared to the pacers. The batters would, however, look to make full use of the good batting conditions in the initial days. Considering these elements, the winning captain would be wise to bat first.
