The third quarter-final of the Ranji Trophy 2022 will see Karnataka (KAR) lock horns against Uttar Pradesh (UP) at the KSCA Stadium in Alur, starting Monday.

With a place in the final four in the offing, a cracking game beckons in Alur.

Pitch Report

The KSCA Stadium pitch in Alur is a competitive one with help on offer for the pacers. The new ball should do a bit, keeping the batters on their toes. As the match progresses, the spinners should play a role with some turn available as well.

Inclement weather is likely to play a part, with teams preferring to bat first upon winning the toss.

KAR vs UP Dream11 match top picks

Wicket-keeper

Dhruv Jurel: Dhruv Jurel has had a decent season with Uttar Pradesh, impressing with both his batting and wicket-keeping skills. Having been part of IPL 2022, Jurel will have some confidence coming into the Ranji Trophy knockouts as well.

While Sharath is also a decent option, Jurel's ability to score big runs down the order makes him a good addition to your KAR vs UP Dream11 fantasy team.

Batter

Devdutt Padikkal: Devdutt Padikkal has had his moments at the top of the order for Karnataka. While he has already scored a few handy knocks for the team, much is expected of the southpaw. Given his hunger for big runs and technique against pace and spin, he is certainly one to watch out for in this game.

All-rounders

Krishnappa Gowtham: Krishnappa Gowtham is Karnataka's premier all-rounder with his spin prowess holding him in good stead. While he has been sensational with the ball in hand, Gowtham adds much-needed value to the team with his batting as well. Given his recent form, he is a must-have in your KAR vs UP Dream11 fantasy team.

Bowler

Ankit Rajpoot: Ankit Rajpoot is one of the best bowlers in the UP set-up with his experience and accuracy serving him well. While the likes of Yash Dayal and Mohsin Khan have blown hot and cold, Rajpoot has held his own with his new-ball bowling prowess being noteworthy.

With the conditions also suiting him, he should pick up a few wickets in this game.
