After a very and tedious tournament, we’ve reached the knockout stage of the 2019 Vijay Hazare Trophy and after 2 quarter finals being played on 20th October, 2 more are scheduled for 21st October. Kicking off at the same time, we have Mumbai playing Chhattisgarh in QF 4 and in Bengaluru itself, we have the flawless and impeccable Tamil Nadu in action, a team which went unbeaten through the round robin stage!
Tamil Nadu’s loss-less run helped them finish as table toppers of the Elite Group C while they now play the 3rd Quarter Final against Punjab, a team that progressed through the open group, with 5 wins in 8 games and one washed out due to rain.

Tamil Nadu
Probably one of the smartest Indian cricketers of this era, wicket-keeper batsman Dinesh Karthik has led his team well through this tournament so far. Even though he bats lower down, he has managed 4 fifties in 9 games this tournament with a total of 349 runs, and he should be your wicket-keeper pick. Also with 4 fifties and a century is Baba Aparajith who is their leading run scorer and surprisingly, he has 10 wickets as well.
Talking about all-rounders, we have Vijay Shankar also in the squad, who is high in confidence because he has plenty of national team experience now. He has 3 fifties and a total of 327 runs in 7 games to go with 4 wickets as well. With three 3-fers in the tournament, M Mohammed has been their top bowler so far with 13 wickets in 8 games. If I had to pick another bowler, it would be Murugan Ashwin who also has 13 wickets this season.
Punjab
Having played for Kings XI Punjab and Sunrisers Hyderabad, Sandeep Sharma began the tournament on a fantastic note with a record 7/19 and since then, he’s gone wicketless in only 2 games with 4/24 in the last game and a total of 16 wickets in 7 games so far. Also with 16 wickets in 7 games is Siddarth Kaul and if I’ve to choose one, I’ll pick Kaul or else you can go in with both. Mayank Markande is also a good pick with 13 wickets in the tournament.
Mandeep Singh is leading the side and I’ll pick him in my Fantain (Use Code “READ123”) fantasy team even though he hasn’t been among the runs. After three single-digit scores, he made a couple of twenties and that will boost his confidence for this encounter. With a top score of 66 runs and 4 wickets in the tournament, Gurkeerat Sing Mann is also a good choice as he has IPL as well as Team India experience.
