How the teams stack ahead of the knockout stages?
Mumbai and Gujarat are the two favorites in the Vijay Hazare Trophy knockout stages. Both the teams are yet to lose a game this campaign and will look to keep their winning run going.
Despite topping Elite Group B, Andhra look to be the weakest of all teams. The side scraped into the quarter-finals on Net Run Rate (NRR), after it ended the group stage level with Tamil Nadu and Jharkhand.
Karnataka are boosted by the return of Manish Pandey and Krishnappa Gowthan for the knockout stages. Prithvi Shaw will want to continue his fine form as the new Mumbai captain.
Delhi could be a top contender as well, provided they qualify for the quarter-finals.
The knockout stages will see youngsters Devdutt Padikkal (572), Prithvi Shaw (404), and Ravikumar Samarth (413) vie for the top run scorer’s accolade. Left-arm spinner Shivam Sharma (18 wickets) is set to continue his run as the leading wicket-taker in the tournament.
