Gujarat College Ground

Karnataka will take on Nagaland in their seventh and last Group C match of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25 season at the Gujarat College Ground, Ahmedabad on Sunday, January 5. The match is scheduled to start from 9:00 AM IST.

Karnataka vs Nagaland Chance of Winning

Karnataka have already qualified for the quarter-finals of Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25 after winning five of their six matches. In their last match, they defeated Saurashtra by 60 runs. They will be more than eager to beat Puducherry in their last league match and try finishing at the top of the Group C points table.

Nagaland are at the seventh spot, and are out of the race. They registered their first win of the ongoing tournament by beating Arunachal Pradesh by 229 runs in their last game. However, they look all set to lose their last group stage match on Sunday.

Karnataka have been highly consistent. They have lost only to Hyderabad, and that was also a narrow defeat which came on the third-last delivery of the match. Karnataka are scoring over 300 runs for fun as their batters are in top form. The bowling group also has a lot of potential, and Nagaland would again get a reality check after dominating a weak opponent like Arunachal.

Karnataka vs Nagaland Top Batters

Mayank Agarwal to be the top batter for Karnataka

Mayank Agarwal has turned back the clock in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25 and dominated oppositions on his whims and fancies.

The right-hander scored 124 runs off 112 balls with the help of 15 fours and two sixes against Hyderabad. He scored unbeaten 100 against Arunachal Pradesh, and unbeaten 139 against Punjab. The 33-year-old is currently the second-highest run-scorer in the ongoing tournament. He has scored 497 runs at an average of 124.25.

Sedezhalie Rupero to be the top batter for Nagaland

Sedezhalie Rupero smashed a hundred against Arunachal Pradesh in his last outing. He scored 138 runs off 134 balls with the help of 12 fours and three sixes.

Karnataka vs Nagaland Top Bowlers

Vasuki Koushik to be the top bowler for Karnataka

Vasuki Koushik brough up his best performance of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25 by picking a five-wicket haul against Saurashtra in his last outing. He picked five wickets for just 51 runs in 10 overs. The right-hand pacer is now the leading wicket-taker for Karnataka. He has picked 12 wickets in six matches at an average of 22.00. The Karnataka strike bowler has upped his ante just on time, and the match against Nagaland would be another opportunity to get into the zone before the knockouts.

Vino Zhimomi to be the top bowler for Nagaland

Nagaland pacer Vino Zhimomi made his List A debut in the last match against Arunachal Pradesh, and ended up picking a five-fer. The 29-year-old picked five wickets after bowling 10 overs for just 28 runs. Zhimomi is now the only Nagaland bowler with a five-wicket haul in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. Having got a very late chance to showcase his skills, Zhimomi would be pumped to make a mark against heavyweights Karnataka.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Karnataka

Karnataka look set to beat Nagaland in their last group stage match. They have scored over 300 runs three out of six times so far, and that came against quality teams like Mumbai, Hyderabad and Saurashtra. Their bowlers restricted Puducherry to 211/9 and bundled out the power-packed batting unit to 247. Nagaland have consistently punched above their weight but have crossed the 250-run mark just twice in six matches. Their bowlers have been at the receiving end in all the matches except the one against lacklustre Arunachal. Mumbai hammered 403 runs against them, Saurashtra scored 307/9, and Punjab chased down 217 in just 34.5 overs. With the kind of form Karnataka batters are in, Nagaland are starting at their sixth defeat in Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. ‌
