The last time the two teams met, Karnataka won by an innings and 64 runs in Mysuru, when teams still played home-and-away. The R. Vinay Kumar-led side has been moving like a well-oiled machine, every part knowing its role and working flawlessly. The one time the top-order faltered, Vinay Kumar came good with the bat against Vidarbha. Same is the case with its bowling unit, where Vinay Kumar picked up his 400th First Class wicket in the game against Rajasthan. The teams (from): Karnataka: R. Vinay Kumar (captain), Mayank Agarwal, R. Samarth, Robin Uthappa, Stuart Binny, C.M.
