Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021: KAR vs PUN preview 

Two bigwigs of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021 go head-to-head in Tuesday's Elite Group 'A' clash as defending champions Karnataka take on Punjab at Alur. Both teams have been placed in a considerably competitive draw along with UP, J&K, Railways and Tripura. With just two teams from each group advancing into the knockout rounds, this group will be one to watch. So far, both teams' campaigns have gotten off to great starts.

Karnataka steamrolled an inexperienced J&K side that is still trying to find its feet. On debut, Krishnan Shrijith put on a brilliant 48* off 31 balls to help take the defending champions to 150 runs. Parvez Rasool was the best bowler for the J&K side, ending his 4 overs with figures of 18-2. The highly experienced Karnataka bowling lineup proved to be too good for J&K, bowling them out for a measly 107 runs. Hyderabad's IPL find - Abdul Samad - made 30 in the effort for the losing side. 

Meanwhile, Punjab had a close win over a very strong Uttar Pradesh team, winning by just 11 runs. Prabhsimran Singh played a winning knock for his side, putting up 43 (41), in the total score of 134. No surprises here, as Indian veteran Bhuvneshwar Kumar was the best bowler for UP with 22-3. A middle-order collapse saw Suresh Raina's magnificent 56* go in vain as UP went down. Another Hyderabad find, Siddarth Kaul was the best bowler for Punjab, taking 2-28. Both teams now have 4 points.
