Vijay Hazare Trophy: TN vs MP Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Team, Pitch Report and Preview

Tamil Nadu is one of the favourites the entire competition. Given their form and roster, TN is currently on course to top the table as well with seven wins from seven games. They face Madhya Pradesh in what is a potential mismatch at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Saturday. Riding on Baba Aparajith’s stellar all-round performance, Tamil Nadu made short work of Railways to stay at the top of the table. On the other hand, Madhya Pradesh comes into this game on the back of a tough loss against Jammu and Kashmir as they lost by just four runs. With the Sawai Mansingh Stadium proving to be a happy hunting ground for the likes of Dinesh Karthik and Vijay Shankar, Tamil Nadu is expected to make short work of MP although they can not be considered as pushovers.

Match Details:

Vijay Hazare Trophy 2019

Tamil Nadu vs Madhya Pradesh, Group C

Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Rajasthan

October 12th, 2019

9:00 AM IST

Weather Report:

The weather is all clear for this game with clear skies on the forecast. There should be some swing on offer due to the cloudy conditions at the ground on Wednesday with the temperatures bound to be in the 30s

Pitch Report:

A high-scoring game is expected on Saturday with the average first innings score here this year being 252. Pacers should have a major say with the spinners also coming into the play once the ball gets old.

Predicted Playing XI:

Tamil Nadu:

Tamil Nadu won their previous match by eight wickets owing to Baba Aparajith’s superlative innings. They shouldn’t be making any changes to the side with a place in knockouts beckoning for them. Aparajith is the top scorer of the tournament with 439 runs and also chips in with the ball. Along with the likes of Dinesh Karthik and Krishnamurthy Vignesh firing on all cylinders, there is absolutely no reason as to why Tamil Nadu will not consider themselves the favourites for this encounter.

Murali Vijay, Abhinav Mukund, Baba Aparajith, Vijay Shankar, Washington Sundar, Dinesh Karthik, Shahrukh Khan, K Vignesh, Murugan Ashwin, T Natarajan and M Mohammad.

Railways:

In spite of a loss against Jammu and Kashmir, MP should persist with the same set of players for this game as well. Their opening pair of Naman Ojha and Rajat Patidar is key to their fortunes at the top of the order. Gaurav Yadav picked a six wicket haul in the previous game and will once again be their best bet with the ball alongside Avesh Khan. Venkatesh Iyer provides the balance in the side with his all-round abilities and is one to watch out for.

Rajat Patidar, Naman Ojha, Yash Dubey, Anand Bias, Parth Sahani, Abhishek Bhandari, Venkatesh Iyer, Saransh Jain, Avesh Khan, Kuldeep Sen and Gaurav Yadav

Top Picks:

Murali Vijay and Baba Aparajith are must haves in the fantasy side considering their form for Tamil Nadu. Dinesh Karthik is also in very good form with the TN captain scoring 284 runs at a strike rate of 124. Rajat Patidar and Anand Bias are picked in the fantasy team while the in-form trio of K Vignesh, Avesh Khan and T Natarajan should round the fantasy team with the pacers bound to get some help early on.

Captaincy Options:

1: Murali Vijay

2: Baba Aparajith

3: K Vignesh

D Karthik, Points: 20-22, Grade: B
