Karnataka vs Uttarakhand Match Prediction
India
M.Chinnaswamy Stadium
Facts
- Mayank Agarwal is only one of the eleven batters to have scored more than 600 runs in Ranji Trophy 2022-23 season so far.
- In his last ten matches, Uttarakhand's top-scorer Chandela has scored 727 runs at an average of 48.47. He has scores of 23, 49, 14, 56 and 136 in his last five outings.
- Mayank Mishra is the eleventh highest wicket-taker in the Ranji Trophy 2022-23. The Uttarakhand spinner has picked 32 wickets, five more than Vyshak - Karnataka's highest wicket-taker.
Karnataka vs Uttarakhand Chance of Winning
Both the sides are unbeaten but there is a huge difference between the quality of the two sides. The Karnataka team is lashed with quality players in both the departments of the game. The likes of Mayank Agarwal, Manish Pandey, Devdutt Padikkal and Krishnappa Gowtham make the side a star-studded one. Pacers Vasuki Koushik, Ronit More, Vijaykumar Vyshak and Vidwath Kaverappa are breathing fire and have picked 20, 11, 27 and 21 wickets respectively.
Uttarakhand's batting collapse has been a regular lately. The side has failed to cross the 300-run mark in their last four matches. The over-dependency on Kunal Chandela (509) and Swapnil Singh (317) have come to haunt the team. Only three batters from the team are averaging over 40 in comparison to 10 from Karnataka. The bowling unit comprising of left-arm spinners Mayank Mishra (32), Swapnil Singh (22), and pacers Abhay Negi (19) and Deepak Dhapola (19) have done their job to perfection but it's the batters who have let Uttarakhand down. However, the Uttarakhand bowlers will also feel the heat in front of players like Mayank and Manish. Not to forget Ravikumar Samarth (577) and Nikin Jose (358) have also shown great form.
Uttarakhand will also be facing Karnataka for the first time in Ranji Trophy and they will feel the pressure of clashing against a team which has done wonderfully well in the knockout rounds of the tournament history.
Karnataka vs Uttarakhand Prediction & Betting Tips 2022
Karnataka are one of the clear cut favourites to win the Ranji Trophy 2022-23. Exceptionally talented batters and a decent bunch of bowlers have kept the side unbeaten in the tournament so far. Further, the team also has an experience of winning the coveted trophy eight times.
Uttarakhand are among the big guns after entering the quarter-finals but the journey ahead isn't at all easy for them. After winning three consecutive matches, they have played four draws. The same helped them to qualify for the knockouts but the dynamics have changed completely now. Their chances of beating Karnataka and advancing into the semi-finals are really low.
Notably, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra, Jharkhand, Bengal, Saurashtra and Punjab are the other six team in the quarter-final of the Ranji Trophy 2022-23.
Karnataka vs Uttarakhand Toss Prediction
In the second last match played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, Karnataka won the match and elected to field first. The home side won the match against Chhattisgarh by seven wickets. In the match prior to it at the same venue, Karnataka defeated Puducherry by an innings and seven runs after opting to field. In the first match of the season in Bengaluru, Services had opted to field against Karnataka as well. The match had ended in a draw. In the last match between Karnataka and Rajasthan in Bengaluru, the latter opted to bat and lost the match by 10 wickets. It's quite obvious that the side winning the toss would most probably elect to field first again.
Weather Update
Traces of clouds could be seen during the course of the play, however, chances of rain are minimal. The temperature will hover around 29 degree celsius. The wind speed is predicted to fall between 18 to 23 kmph.
