168 ODIs were scheduled right through the 2019 Vijay Hazare Trophy and now, there’s just one game left. Probably the best two teams in the business, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, have made it to the finals. Karnataka topped their league with 7 wins in 8 games and then won the next two knockout games, including an easy 9-wicket win against Chhattisgarh in the semi final, chasing around 230.
As for TN, they had 9 wins in 9 games in the league stage and then won their knockouts, including the semi final against Gujarat by 5 wickets. So far, they have 11 wins in 11 games this tournament and while Karnataka have a stronger batting line-up, Tamil Nadu is yet to be defeated this season.

Karnataka
This batting attack is probably the strongest it has ever been and adding Mayank Agarwal to the squad makes it even stronger. With 2 centuries and even a maiden double century against South Africa, Agarwal is in fine form and he continued that in the semi-final with 47*. Until the semi final, captain Manish Pandey was their highest scorer but he wasn’t even needed in the last game. Devdutt Padikkal is in the form of his life with 5 fifties and 2 centuries, including 5 consecutive 50+ scores.
KL Rahul has also managed 500+ runs so if it fits in your budget, pick them all. Don’t pick Prasidh Kishna even though he’s their highest wicket-taker as he’s out with an injury. Instead, pick the next best Abhimanyu Mithun who has managed 15 wickets in his 8 games so far. Also pick all-rounder Krishnappa Gowtham who has 14 wickets so far and can also be useful with the bat in case the strong top order fails.
Tamil Nadu
Your wicket-keeper pick can come in captain Dinesh Karthik as he’s one of the smartest cricketers I know. With 407 runs in 8 innings, he is the backbone of the middle order and has 4 fifties to his name, with a average of 67+. Your captain or vice-captain pick must be Baba Aparajith even though he failed and only got 6 in the last game. He has 5 fifties and a century and his bowling is a complete additional bonus.
Another person to add to your Fantain (Use Code “READ123”) fantasy team is Ravichandran Ashwin who was recently added to the squad and he was immediately successful with 1/21 in his 8 overs. Another person who has impressed is all-rounder Washington Sundar. After scoring 157 runs in 5 batting innings, he was finally used as an opening bowler and he picked 1/32 in the last game to go with 27* with the bat.
