The second semi-final of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy will see Karnataka (KAR) take on Vidarbha (VID) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Saturday.
Karnataka have been impressive in this year's Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy despite missing a few key players due to national duty. They come into this game on the back of a thrilling Super Over win over Bengal. Karnataka will be keen to sustain their winning momentum and march into the final. However, they now come across a resilient Vidarbha side who have exceeded expectations in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Although they will start as underdogs, one cannot take Akshay Wadkar and co. lightly, making for a cracking game of T20 cricket at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.

KAR vs VID, Semi-final 2, Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021
Date and Time: 20th November 2021, 1:00 PM IST
Venue: Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi
Pitch Report
A relatively high-scoring game beckons in Delhi with the bowlers also likely to get some help off the surface. There should be some swing on offer early on, keeping the batters on their toes. However, the ball should skid on nicely to the bat, making for a good contest. With this being a used pitch, the spinners should also find some help in the middle overs. Both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss, with 160-170 being a good total at this venue.
