Match Details:
The Elite A Group match of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021 will be played between Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh at KSCA Cricket (2) Ground, Alur.
The match is scheduled to start at 12:00 PM local time and IST on January 18th.
Preview:
Karnataka are currently placed at the second position of Elite Group A. Out of the 4 matches they have played, they have won 3 and lost 1 game. While they are coming into this game on the back of a victory, Karnataka will not only need to win their remaining games but also keep a look at the other results in their group. Things are not as complicated for Uttar Pradesh, since their chance of advancement into the next stage is nil.
What would be a consolation for them is the few comparatively unknown players who got them their first win of the season in the last game. They will have not much but pride on the line.
