It’s been a long and tiring 2021 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy for all those taking part but we’re down to only the final 3 games now. In Semi Final 1, there’s Tamil Nadu in action who recovered well from a position of 66/5 in their quarter final game to win against Himachal Pradesh. They have a number of known entities in their squad and begin as a strong favourite going into Semi Final 1 of the SMA Trophy!
They will be taking on Rajasthan who has only lost one game in this entire season, surprisingly to an underdog like Goa. They secured a 16-run victory in their quarter final game against Bihar and aren’t a team to be taken lightly in this contest, which is the rule for any knockout games!

Numbers
- Head to head in SMA Trophy, Tamil Nadu leads 2-1.
- Last 4 games at this ground – 3 won batting second.
- Narayan Jagadeesan – 322 runs in 6 games this season.
Tamil Nadu
In probably the form of his lifetime right now, Narayan Jagadeesan was bowled early int he last game for just 7 but prior to that, he had 4 consecutive fifties in the 2021 SMA Trophy and is one of the first picks in our TN vs RJS fantasy team today. Good batting at the top means captain Dinesh Karthik hasn’t had many opportunities but when given them, he has done well with three forties in this season so far.
Vijay Shankar isn’t available but we have Baba Aparajith who is the best all-rounder in the side and is a worthy pick as captain or vice-captain of your TN vs RJS fantasy team. He has 4 wickets and a best of 52* so far in this tournament. With the ball, Sandeep Warrier is someone who has plenty of IPL experience and has a spark with three 2-fers in six games this tournament, someone who is likely to get wickets again today.
Rajasthan
Their top run scorer from last season, Ankit Lamba is once again at the top of their run scoring charts with nearly 200 runs so far and a start in almost every game this tournament, so he’s a must select player. Another person who will contribute with the bat is Mahipal Lomror who smashed 78* and more than 200+ strike rate in the last game and there’s no way you can leave this pocket dynamo out of your side.

The Chahar brothers are no longer a part of the squad and in their absence, the team will be hoping India pacer Khaleel Ahmed steps up as he’s had a horrid season so far with 1 wicket in 6 games. We’re picking him in our My11Circle (Get Rs.500 FREE*) TN vs RJS fantasy team today while young Ravi Bishnoi can’t be left out either, with 1/34 in the last game and 10 scalps overall in this tournament so far.
