Karnataka vs Punjab Chances of Winning
Karnataka maintained a flawless record during the 2023 Vijay Hazare Trophy. Their last match was against Mizoram, wherein they lost the toss and were relegated to fielding first. However, they were able to turn things in their favor by restricting Mizoram to a meager total of 124 runs. Karnataka chased it down effectively as they finished the match in just 17.1 overs, winning by six wickets with 197 balls remaining.
Punjab, on the other hand, had a rather middling season in the tournament. In their previous match against Bengal, they won the toss and elected to field first. Bengal went on to score 242/9 and they were able to defend it quite well as they bowled out Punjab in just 24.1 overs for a score of 190. This was a humiliating defeat for Punjab as they ended their campaign on a sour note.

Karnataka vs Punjab Betting Tips
Devdutt Padikkal performed admirably in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, considering he was their leading run scorer despite participating in just five innings. He amassed 465 runs in five innings, which includes two centuries and three half-centuries. Mayank Agarwal has also shown incredible consistency, having scored 328 runs in nine innings. In the previous season of the Ranji Trophy, he was their top run scorer with 990 runs in 13 innings.
Prabhsimran Singh, Punjab’s opening batsman, is perhaps their most valuable player considering he was their top run scorer in the 2023 Ranji Trophy as well as the Vijay Hazare Trophy with 537 runs in ten innings and 176 runs in six innings. Siddharth Kaul has been brilliant on the bowling front, having captured 22 wickets in the Ranji Trophy last season and 19 wickets in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
