Preview for Dream11 Fantasy
Karnataka has done quite well in this season of Ranji Trophy on the back of their in-form batsmen, who have managed to score good runs with the bat. They are still in the race to qualify for the finals and they will have to win their upcoming game against Baroda. In batting, they have Devdut Paddikal and Snehal Kauthankar, who are consistently performing well for their side. They will have to take the responsibility to click some match-winning knocks for their side.
Baroda has already been knocked out from the tournament as they are ranked 13th in their group. However, they will look to end their campaign on a high note with a win. They have struggled with the poor form of their batsmen as none of them has managed to play good knocks with the bat. Now, Baroda would be expecting that their batters come up with some strong and positive approach after having a bad season.
Weather Condition/Report:
The weather in Bangalore will be perfect for a four-day game. There are no chances of rain on all the four days with wind expected to blow at a rate of 15 to 22 km/hr. On the other hand, the temperature is expected to deviate between 15 and 22 Degree Celsius throughout the day according to Accuweather.
Pitch Report
The pitch at Chinnaswamy Stadium is expected to be worthy enough to go in the favour of the batsmen. The boundaries are small with fast bowlers expected to get very little help from the wicket. Meanwhile, the spinners will have their say going on Day-3 and Day-4 as they will start getting some turn. The side winning the toss will look to bat as none of the sides would like to face the spin heads on the final day of the game.

Yusuf Pathan hasn’t travelled with Baroda team and won’t be playing this match.
BR Sharath has returned from New Zealand after playing for India A and has been included in Karnataka squad for this match.
