Mahipal Lomror's maiden List-A hundred (122* off 114 balls) helped Rajasthan achieve a resounding 200-run victory over Kerala, securing their first semi-final appearance since 2006-07. Their challenge will be against Haryana, who are making their first semi-final appearance since 2010–11.
For Rajasthan, skipper Deepak Hooda (300 runs in 6 innings at an average of 60) has been their best batter this year and is expected to lead from the front in the semi-finals.
Keep an eye out for Abhijeet Tomar as well. The opening batter has scored 261 runs in 7 innings at 43.50.
Rahul Chahar has been Rajasthan’s most consistent bowler this season, picking up 16 wickets in 5 innings at an average of 11.43. We also expect new ball bowler Khaleel Ahmed (12 wickets in 7 innings) along with Aniket Choudhary (13 wickets in 6 innings) to get some wickets in this match.
Abhijeet Tomar, Ram Mohan Chouhan, Deepak Hooda (c), Karan Lamba, Kunal Singh Rathore (wk), Mahipal Lomror, Rahul Chahar, Khaleel Ahmed, Kukna Ajay Singh, Arafat Khan, Aniket Choudhary

Karnataka have made another semi-final. Leading Karnataka's offensive, Vijaykumar Vyshak claimed four wickets to dismantle Vidarbha, restricting them to 173 in the third quarter-final. Mayank Agarwal and R. Samarth then anchored a robust counterattack, contributing to an impressive 82-run stand. Karnataka clinched victory with seven wickets intact and almost 10 overs to spare.
Mayank is now the team’s second-highest run-getter, with 315 runs in 8 innings at an average of 45. Karnataka will be looking at some vital contributions from Nikin Jose (290 runs in 6 innings) and Manish Pandey (239 runs in 8 innings).
Karnataka’s bowling superstar this season has been Vasuki Koushik, who has grabbed 17 wickets in 8 innings at 12.58. Vyshak would also be high on confidence after that amazing performance in the previous game, and we expect him to do well here.

The pitch at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium C is a superb batting deck. However, it has been slowing down a little. It should still be good for batting overall, but seam bowlers and spinners will get some help in it.
The weather in Rajkot will be sunny, clear, and pleasant.
The second quarterfinal of the tournament was played at Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium C this year. Rajasthan scored 267-9 versus Kerala and then skittled them out for just 67 to secure a 200-run win. The team batting first in this game should look to set a target of around 280–300 runs.
This is a semi-final clash, and batting first would be the safer bet here.
Both Rajasthan and Karnataka will be confident in their chances in the semi-final. However, Karnataka has more experience playing knockout matches and will therefore have the edge. That being said, Rajasthan's bowling attack looks stronger and is in better rhythm. This should be a closely contested game, but we are banking on Karnataka’s experience to take them through to the final.
Back Karnataka as the winners of this contest!
