The 2019 Vijay Hazare Trophy has been a fairly entertaining season from double centuries to 7-fers and washed out games and much more. It’s been fun and we’re down to just 3 games to be played. In Semi Final 1, we have Karnataka playing Chhattisgarh and at the same time at another venue, we have an unbeaten and flawless Tamil Nadu outfit confidently set to take on another good ODI squad in Gujarat.
Tamil Nadu topped their points table with 9 wins in 9 games and then won their quarter final quite easily too, being unbeaten in this tournament after 10 games. Gujarat wasn’t too far behind with 8 wins in 9 games, losing only to this same opponent by 78 runs earlier this month.

Numbers

- Baba Aparajith – 526 runs and 10 wickets in 10 games so far.
- Krishnamoorthy Vignesh – 14 wickets in 8 games so far.

Tamil Nadu
The most prolific player for Tamil Nadu this season has undoubtedly been Baba Aparajith who brought up his fifth fifty of the tournament in the last game, to go with a century and best of 111*. He didn’t bowl in the last game but he’s an ideal choice for your fantasy team captain or vice-captain. After him, former Indian opener Abhinav Mukund has been good with 3 fifties, 1 century and a total of 483 runs in 10 games this tournament.
Tamil Nadu has struggled slightly with the ball this season but Krishnamoorthy Vignesh has been good, their leading wicket-taker. However, I’d show more faith in Murugan Ashwin who has 13 wickets in 10 games but has IPL experience too, which he can put into use. Indian ‘all-rounder’ Ravichandran Ashwin also comes into the squad and he’s a must-have along with the captain and wicket-keeper, Dinesh Karthik.
Gujarat
As he has done in the IPL since the last so many years, Parthiv Patel has had many starts in this tournament with 429 runs and 5 fifties in 9 games this tournament. He will lead the side in this important semi final. One of their most consistent batsmen who Read Scoops has also had a word with in the past is Priyank Panchal who has 3 fifties and a century this season. He has peaked at the right time with one fifty and the century coming in his last 3 innings.
With the ball, everyone will be picking Roosh Kalaria in their Fantain (Use Code “READ123”) fantasy teams just because of the number of points he has accumulated throughout the tournament. Along with him, I’d suggest picking Piyush Chawla as the leggie has Team India as well as IPL experience and this season, has 16 wickets in 10 games. Let’s not forget he can be handy with the bat down the order when needed.
