Karnataka vs Goa Match Prediction
Karnataka and Goa will lock horns with each other in their third match of the Elite Group C at the Goa Cricket Association Academy Ground in Porvorim from December 27. The match will kick start from 9:30 AM IST.
Karnataka started their campaign with a draw against Services and won their second match against Puducherry by an innings and seven runs, while Goa played back to back draws against Rajasthan and Jharkhand. Karnataka set a 297-run target for Services and were on the top once after reducing them to 21 for three. However, the fourth-wicket stand between Ravi Chauhan and Anshul Gupta forced Karnataka to settle for a draw.
In the previous edition, Karnataka lost to Uttar Pradesh in the quarter-finals. The team that had topped Elite Group C. Goa were placed in the Elite Group D and finished at the bottom of the table after losing two of their three matches.
Karnataka vs Goa Match Chance of Winning
Karnataka in all likelihood is expected to beat Goa in Goa. The star-studded Karnataka unit could prove to be too tough for Goa to topple. The team have stalwart players like Manish Pandey, Mayank Agarwal, Shreyas Gopal and Krishnappa Gowtham in the side. Goa lacks such experienced campaigners in their side. In the first game against Servixes, BR Sharath scored 77 runs in the first innings. In the second innings opener Ravikumar Samarth scored a hundred and Mayank Agarwal chipped in with 73 runs. Pacer Ronit More and his young partner Vidwath Kaverappa looked good in the match. Krishnappa Gowtham also picked two wickets in the match. Goa, who somehow managed to play a draw against Jharkhand, are up against a very strong opposition who are looking to register their second win.
Our Prediction
Karnataka look all set to continue their winning streak. The last time they met Goa in November 1999, they won the match by an innings and 179 runs. Karnataka have won three of their last five matches, while Goa have played three draws in their last five matches. In fact, Goa haven’t won in the last five games.

In the first game they were up against Rajasthan and their batsmen grabbed everyone’s attention. Suyash Prabhudessai smashed 212 runs and Arjun Tendukar registered his maiden first class century on his debut. In the bowling department Mohit Redkar and Darshan Misal have done their job wonderfully and they will look to perform better against a stronger side like Karnataka.

Karnataka vs Goa Top Team Batsmen
Mayank Agarwal to be Karnataka's top batsman
Karnataka skipper Mayank Agarwal was dismissed for eight runs in the first innings against Services but in the second innings he found momentum and scored brisk 73 runs off just 100 balls in the second innings. Against Puducherry, he started his innings where he left and scored a half-century. The right-hand batter has a point to prove after being dropped from Team India, and we can expect some cracking start from him. Overall, he has scored 5986 runs in 83 first-class matches at an average of 43.37
Suyash Prabhudessai to be Goa’s top batsman
The batting all-rounder of Goa started his season with a brilliant double hundred against Rajasthan. He scored 212 runs in 416 balls and took his side to a massive score of 547. The game eventually resulted in a draw but he left his impact and a sign that he can be the next big thing in the domestic circuit. In 21 games, Prabhudessai has amassed 1377 runs with the average of 45.90.
Karnataka vs Goa Top Team Bowlers
Krishnappa Gowtham to be Karnataka's top bowler
Off-spinner Krishnappa Gowtham was the leading wicket-taker for his team in the last edition. He picked 17 wickets in four matches at an average of 28.58. In the just-concluded Vijay Hazare Trophy, he picked 13 wickets at an economy of 4.30. In the first match of the ongoing Ranji Trophy, he picked only two wickets in the match and in the second game against Puducherry, he went wicketless in the first inning. However, we can expect him to come down with all guns blazing against Goa in Porvorim. Overall, the 34-year-old has played 52 first-class matches and picked 196 wickets at an average of 26.92.
Darshan Misal to be Goa’s top bowler
Goa skipper Darshan Misal could only take one wicket against Rajasthan in the first game but he compensated that by taking four-fer against Jharkhand with an economy rate of 2.05. Overall, the left-arm spinner has picked 95 wickets in 59 first-class matches at an economy of 17.81.
