Pre-Match Analysis:

West Zone who are a star-studded unit consisting of Cheteshwar Pujara, Suryakumar Yadav, Prithvi Shaw, and Sarfaraz Khan settled for a draw in the 1st Semi-Final against Central Zone and advanced into the finals on the basis of 1st Innings lead. Cheteshwar Pujara who was snubbed from the Indian Test squad for the away two Test matches series against West Indies, struck an excellent 133 runs in the 2nd innings. Prithvi Shaw who has been consistently ignored by the Indian selectors over the last year didn’t leave an impression as he just managed to score 26 and 25 in the 1st and 2nd innings respectively. They have limited resources in their bowling department led by Arzan Nagwaswalla. They are the front runners to defend the title.

South Zone made their way into the Finals after a grueling 2 wickets win over North Zone in the 2nd Semi-Final last week. Karnataka pace duo of Vidwath Kaverappa and Vyshak Vijaykumar exploited the conditions and claimed 13 wickets between them across both innings. The experienced Mayank Agarwal and Hanuma Vihari produced a good show in the 4th innings that got them through to the finals for the 2nd time in a row. Sachin Baby is likely to replace Sai Sudharsan who is included in India’s emerging squad. Both sides need to adjust their game style a little bit as it’s going to be a 5-day affair.
