New Delhi. Both the semi-finals of Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy will be played in Bangalore on Friday. In the first semi-final, Mumbai team will face Baroda, while the second semi-final will be played between Delhi vs Madhya Pradesh. Mumbai is being captained by Shreyas Iyer while the command of Baroda is in the hands of Krunal Pandya. Hardik Pandya will also be seen playing for Baroda, who has been performing brilliantly with bat and ball so far in this tournament. It was not easy for Baroda to make it to the knockouts. In Group B, it had 24 points equal to Saurashtra and Gujarat, but on the basis of better run rate, it was successful in moving ahead.
Baroda has great T20 players like Hardik Pandya and Krunal Pandya, but despite this, none of its players is included in the top 10 in the list of batsmen or bowlers. This shows that all the players of Baroda have contributed well so far due to which their team was successful in making it to the semi-finals. For Baroda, fast bowler Atit Sheth has taken 13 wickets but he is at 11th place in the list of bowlers taking most wickets in the tournament. Young batsman Bhanu Paniya has so far scored 271 runs for Baroda but he is at 18th position in the list of batsmen.
What is the net worth of Sixer King Yuvraj Singh? Where are they earning after retirement, who is included among the richest Indian cricketers?
If the match is like this… one run was needed on 1 ball, the batsman overturned, snatched the victory from the jaws of the opponent.
Mumbai's batsmen and bowlers will have to give their best performance.
In the quarter-final match against Bengal, all the players of Baroda contributed from their side due to which the team was successful in winning the match. As far as Mumbai is concerned, it did not face any special challenge in Group E. He faced any kind of challenge for the first time in the quarter-finals against Vidarbha. If Mumbai has to overcome the tough challenge from Baroda, then its batsmen and bowlers will have to give their best performance.
The first semi-final will be played from 11 am
In the second semi-final, Delhi seems to have a slight advantage over Madhya Pradesh because this team led by Ayush Badoni has shown its all-round game so far. However, both the teams have a good mix of experience and young players and this is likely to be an exciting match. The first semi-final between Mumbai and Baroda will start at 11 am while the second semi-final between Delhi and Madhya Pradesh will be played at 4:30 am.
