Match Details:

The Group B match of Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2019-20 will be played between Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh at the Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram.

The match starts at 9:30 AM local time & IST (4:00 AM GMT)

Preview for Dream11 Fantasy

It has been a fantastic start for Tamil Nadu to their Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2019-20 season. They’ve won both their matches against Kerala and Rajasthan thus far. Next up, the Dinesh Karthik-led side faces Uttar Pradesh who lost to Vidarbha on Saturday. UP were bundled out for just 60 runs in 14.4 overs against Vidarbha and clearly, their batsmen have to do well even to put up a fight against star-studded Tamil Nadu.

The likes of Akshdeep Nath and Rinku Singh have to put their hand up given that they have played in the top tournaments like IPL before. For Tamil Nadu, it will only be about carrying the momentum forward and just keep doing the basics right. In the shortest format though one cannot take the opposition lightly at any cost.

Weather Condition

It is expected to rain in Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday and also in the mid-night in the lead up to this match. However, the sun will come out just before the start of the game and the ground should be fine for an on-time start. The temperature will hover around 28-30 Degrees Celsius during the action in the middle according to AccuWeather.
