One of the domestic giants of India, Karnataka will play the relatively new boys Puducherry in the first quarter-final of the 2019 Vijay Hazare trophy.
India will take on South Africa for the third Test of the 3-match series starting from October 19, at Jharkhand State Cricket Association International Stadium, Ranchi.
India have played 13 series against South Africa but have never whitewashed them. South Africa have whitewashed India once, 2-0 in India in 1999-00.
India have played only once at Ranchi so far, against Australia in 2016-17. The Test was drawn. Cheteshwar Pujara was named Player of the Match for his 202.
India are on course for a 3-0 sweep of the series, but South Africa will need to show fight to avert that.
Aiden Markram has been ruled out of third Test against India. Bangladesh T20I squad for India tour has been announced. Sri Lanka squad for T20I series in Australia has been announced. Navnita Gautam has been hired as Sports Massage Therapist of RCB.
In a tough group with plenty of big sides, who will come out on top?
While Scotland, Netherlands, PNG, and Singapore are favourites for the top three, the others may cause an upset or two to make things interesting.
On October 20, Karnataka will play Puducherry at Amritsar, while Delhi will play Gujarat at Bengaluru. On October 21, Punjab will play Tamil Nadu at Bokakhat, while Chhattisgarh and Mumbai will face off at Alur.
