After 100+ T20s being played in the last few weeks, we’re down to the final game of the 2021 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. It’s no surprises to see Tamil Nadu in the grand finale as they’ve always been a strong team in Indian domestic competitions. They’ve been exceptionally good this season too, not losing a single game in their total of 7 games so far, beating Rajasthan by 7 wickets in their semi final game.
As for their opponent, it’s Baroda who is the clear underdog as they weren’t expected to get here in the first place. However, they’ve also managed a flawless season this year, winning 7 out of 7 and unfortunately, one team will register their first loss today. Baroda beat Punjab by 25 runs in their semi final game.

Numbers
- Head to head in SMA Trophy, Baroda leads 1-0.
- 6 games at this stadium – 4 won batting second.
- N Jagadeesan – 350 runs in 7 games this season.
Tamil Nadu
N Jagadeesan will be the first pick in many TN vs BRD fantasy teams today but he’s got smaller scores in his last 2 games. We’d rather have Arun Karthik as he bats in the middle order and will be a less popular player, which means higher chances of doing well. His 89* in the last game was his first fifty of the season while captain Dinesh Karthik hasn’t been getting to bat much this season, so the latter gets dropped as well.
With the ball, Murugan Ashwin is the obvious pick since he’s their leader with 10 scalps in 7 games but watch out for M Mohammed who picked 4/24 in the last game which was his best performance of the season and he comes into this game high on confidence. One of the best talents in this squad is Baba Aparajith who got only 2 in the semi but he’s a prolific run scorer who bowls often too, an option for our TN vs BRD Dream11 Team captain or vice-captain.
Baroda
This team is doing without the Pandya brothers and Deepak Hooda which is a big blow to them. However, Kedar Devdhar has been leading well in their absence and he has 333 runs this season, with his second fifty coming in the last game. Another batting option for your fantasy team is Karthik Kakade who scored an unbeaten fifty in the last game and more importantly, he bowls pretty often as well.

Talking about all-rounder performers, we can suggest another captain or vice-captain for your My11Circle (Get Rs.500 FREE*) TN vs BRD fantasy team and that’s Ninad Rathva. He opens the batting and got 15 runs at the top along with 2/18 in 3 overs with the ball. If you want an x-factor bowling pick, consider this player who got 0/22 in the last game but has IPL experience over the years – Bhargav Bhatt.
