Pitch Report
Analysis:
Kerala finished third in the points table of Group C but surprisingly had the same points as table-toppers Karnataka. They were at an inferior position in the table compared to Karnataka because of their inferior NRR. They had won 4 games and lost 1 game. Veteran pacer Sreesanth has been in hot-blistering form as he has taken a total of 13 wickets in 5 games. In their previous game against Bihar, Sreesanth took 4 wickets. Robin Uthappa scored an unbeaten 87 in quick-time.
Karnataka should be high on confidence as they won the last match against Kerala. They outclassed them by 9 wickets as Devdutt Padikkal had scored an unbeaten century. Karnataka finished as table-toppers of Group C because of their superior run rate and because they had won 4 games.
