Second-placed Andhra Pradesh will battle third-placed Karnataka in the Round 3 match of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2019-20. Both the teams will enter the field with an objective to go on the top of the Group A table. Andhra have won their opening fixture of the competition while Karnataka have registered a single victory from their two matches. Both Andhra and Karnataka are currently tied with four points each.

Andhra will be relying on Hanuma Vihari serve as a game-changer for them. Vihari, who recently broke into the Indian Test squad smashed 46 runs off 32 balls against Bihar on Friday. He was assisted by Ashwin Hebbar, who scored 52 runs in 39 balls. The two openers were the vital force behind Andhra’s dominating 10-wicket victory against Bihar.

On the other hand, Karnataka will place their bets on Rohan Kadam and Devdutt Padikkal to display a stellar batting performance. Both Kadam and Padikkal steered Karnataka to the win in their last encounter against Uttarakhand. Kadam’s 55-ball 67 knock and Padikkal’s 33-ball 53 knock proved to be vital in Karnataka’s run chase against Uttarakhand. Abhimanyu Mithun and Shreyas Gopal will propel Karnataka’s bowling attack.
