Vidaabha eying SF spot, to take on Rajasthan

All the eyes will be on Vidarbha skipper Karun Nair who is the second-highest run scorer of the tournament. He has played an vital role in Vidarbha's success. The batter set a new List A record this season. The 33-year-old top order batsman now holds the record of scoring the most runs - 542 - without getting dismissed. He got an unplanned rest against Mizoram as the team registered a 10-wicket win.

Rajasthan, on the other hand, had a longer route to this stage. They finished second in Group B with 5 wins in 7 games and had to overcome a tough opponent in Tamil Nadu in the preliminary quarter-final. Rajasthan’s captain Mahipal Lomror is in good touch with a hundred and a fifty in the last three games. He is the team’s top scorer in the tournament so far and will be expected to be among the runs once again. The 25-year-old scored 81 runs the last time the two sides faced and we expect him to go big once again.
