Fantasy Cricket Tips for Vijay Hazare Trophy

Round 4 of the 2021 Vijay Hazare Trophy will see Kerala taking on Karnataka in Bangalore on Friday.

Kerala have been the team to beat in the Vijay Hazare Trophy so far. With three wins in three games, they are well on course for a top-two finish. Crucial to their fortunes have been Robin Uthappa and Sanju Samson. However, they are in for a tough test against Karnataka.

For Karnataka, star opener Devdutt Padikkal has been in great form, with their bowling attack also faring well in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Against the likes of Vishnu Vinod, Karnataka will need to deliver yet again as they also aim for a top-two finish.

Defending champions Karnataka are the favorites for Friday's game, but Kerala's superior depth and balance mean they are no pushovers. All in all, a blockbuster Vijay Hazare Trophy encounter beckons in Bangalore on Friday.

Pitch Report

Another high-scoring game awaits the two sides in Bangalore. The batsmen will look to bide their time in the middle before going big. Although the seamers have enjoyed the extra swing and bounce on offer, there is little margin for error. Both teams will want to bat first on the surface, with the pitch likely to slow down as the match progresses. 250-260 should be par at the venue.
