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 chance of winning - 99%
Nagaland chance of winning - 1%
