Pitch Report
A competitive track is expected in Guwahati with help on offer for both the pacers and spinners. With the pacers expected to get the ball swinging, the batters need to spend some time in the middle before shifting gears. However, the pitch should ease out a touch as the match progresses. The spinners will look to make use of the turn available off the surface, making for a good contest in the middle overs. Both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss, with 140-150 being a decent total at the venue.
Today’s BRD vs KAR Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Vishnu Solanki: Vishnu Solanki has been fairly good with the bat for Baroda at the top of the order. However, he is due for a big knock alongside Kedar Devdhar. Although BR Sharath has been in decent form, his batting position in the Karnataka set-up is a drop-off, paving the way for Solanki's inclusion in the BRD vs KAR Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Mayank Agarwal: Although Mayank Agarwal has shown flashes of brilliance with the bat, he is still searching for a big score at the top of the order. While the likes of Devdutt Padikkal and Manish Pandey are also decent options, Agarwal is a must-have in your BRD vs KAR, given his experience and ability to take on the bowlers early in the innings.
All-rounder
Krunal Pandya: Although Krunal Pandya is one of the best all-rounders in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, he hasn't really delivered with the bat despite batting at number three. But he has picked up six wickets in three games, holding him in good stead and making him one to watch out for in this game.
Bowler
KC Cariappa: KC Cariappa's variations have served him and Karnataka well, even keeping Shreyas Gopal out of the side. With conditions also favoring the spinners in Guwahati, he should pick up a wicket or two against Baroda in this fixture.
