The 2019 Vijay Hazare Trophy had a total of 168 ODIs on its schedule and after a long drawn out season, we have just 3 games left to be played. The best teams of the season have reached the final 4 where we have 2 semi finals to be played. In Semi Final 1, we have Karnataka in action at their home ground at Chinnaswamy. They topped the open group with 7 wins in 8 games and they’ve been unstoppable this year.
They are up against Chhattisgarh and it’s a pleasant surprise to see this team reach so far in this competition without many big names in their squad. They had 5 wins in 8 games in the open group and got through their quarter final against Mumbai which ended with no result, but this game will probably be their biggest test so far in the 2019 Vijay Hazare Trophy. Keep reading for our complete Fantain (Use Code “READ123”) fantasy preview of the KAR vs CHA game…

Karnataka
Prasidh Krishna suffered a muscle spasm in the quarter final against Puducherry and he has been ruled out with Prateek Jain named the replacement. Apart from that, we expect no changes from the QF game with Lokesh Rahul and Devdutt Padikkal opening the innings. A couple of spots down is Manish Pandey who is their best bet with 5 fifties and 1 century in 9 innings. All of them have 450+ runs this season and you can pick all, up against a weak bowling attack.
They’ve never had their top order failing but in case it does, there’s always Praveen Dubey in the lower middle order, who also has 7 wickets in 3 games this tournament, including two 3-fers in the last 2 games. Floater in the batting order and coming off a fantastic KPL 2019, Krishnappa Gowtham is a fantastic choice who has 12 wickets this season including a 5-fer in the opening game of the tournament.
Chhattisgarh
Former Mumbai player Shashank Singh has been a revelation in this tournament, picking up wickets in addition to his known skill of hitting the big shots. Surprisingly, he’s done better with the ball than bat and he’s a good choice for your fantasy side captain or vice-captain. Veer Pratap Singh picked 15 wickets in 5 games but he hasn’t played the last couple, so keep him out of your team.
Instead, pick Puneet Datey in your Fantain (Use Code “READ123”) fantasy team who has 8 wickets in 8 games. Don’t bother picking many Chhattisgarh bowlers as we’re expecting them to go the distance and not pick too many wickets in this game against a strong batting order. Instead, pick an extra batsman and captain and middle order batsman Harpreet Singh is a good choice, having top scored with 83 in the last game, his first fifty this season.
