Preview:
Tamil Nadu will take on Karnataka in the 2nd Quarter-Final of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2021/22 on Tuesday. Both sides are immensely strong in all the departments and have a strong history in the domestic circuit. Tamil Nadu had beaten mighty teams such as Karnataka, Mumbai, and Bengal in their first 3 matches, but they lost to Puducherry and Baroda in successive matches. They have a good decent record against Karnataka and look to continue their winning run.
Karnataka, on the other hand, earned their Quarter-Final spot with an 8 wickets win over Rajasthan in the Preliminary Quarter-Final on Sunday. Responsible knocks from KV Siddharth and skipper Manish Pandey got them home. They need to show positive intent if they want to be successful against Tamil Nadu.
