KAR vs HAR Dream11 : It will be a mouth-watering contest on our hands when Karnataka lock horns against Haryana in the 1st semi-final of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.

Haryana will be high on confidence after putting up some impressive performances in the Super League stage. However, they lost their previous game against Maharashtra by a narrow margin of 2 runs.
The exceptional bowling performances from Haryana have propelled them to the last 4 of the tournament. The likes of Yuzvendra Chahal, Harshal Patel and Amit Mishra have worked wonders for Haryana. However, they have been found wanting in the batting department. They need to work on this aspect ahead of a knockout clash.
On the flip side, Karnataka has played some good cricket in the tournament so far. The defeat against Mumbai wasn’t enough to keep them away from the semi-final berth. The likes of KL Rahul, Manish Pandey and Karun Nair have made their international experience count. They will play an important role if Karnataka harbour hopes of winning the all-important clash.
Pitch Conditions and Toss
The Lalabhai Stadium in Surat has been predominantly a batting-friendly surface. In the previous clash between Karnataka and Mumbai, both teams piled up 464 runs in 40 overs. In all likelihood, the semi-final clash is expected to be much of the same. The team winning the toss might be tempted to bat given the fact that run-scoring hasn’t been easy at the back end of the match.
