KAR vs PUN Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for Today’s Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy Match – Jan 26, 2021

Karnataka will lock horns with Punjab in the 1st quarterfinal of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy at the Sardar Patel Stadium in Ahmedabad on Tuesday.

After 95 matches of gruelling action, we're finally down to the business end of the tournament, with eight of the best teams battling it out in the knockout phase.

Karnataka ended the league stage at the second position in the Elite Group A points table with four wins from their five matches. They defeated Uttar Pradesh in their last game by 5 wickets.

However, the defending champions will be missing the services of their star all-rounder Krishnappa Gowtham who has left the camp to join the national team India for their preparations for the upcoming England series.

Punjab, on the other hand, finished the league stage at the top of the Elite Group A points table courtesy of wins from all their five matches. They are coming off a victory over Tripura in their last game by 22 runs.

For the Mandeep Singh-led side almost everything has gone their way, batting or the bowling, and they will hope to replicate the same sort of performance in the knockout phase too.

Both teams have some of the best players which makes it interesting to watch out which team registers a win in this game to enter the semifinal.
