Bengal vs Jharkhand, 1st Quarterfinal:

Bengal are still waiting on the news of Mohammed Shami, if they get the clearance from the BCCI to play him.
The speedster had a productive IPL 2022 and has been rested for the South Africa series.
Shami’s teammate at Gujarat Titans (GT) Wriddhiman Saha has however refused to play for Bengal due to his ongoing tussle with the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB).
While Bengal will be the favourites, it is worth pointing out that Jharkhand took a staggering 1008-run lead in the pre-quarterfinal against Nagaland.
Jharkhand had to negotiate a pre-quarterfinal before they made tier way into the last eight.
Bengal though remain odds on favourite to clinch the tie.

Karnataka vs Uttar Pradesh, 2nd Quarterfinal

Karnataka are the second-most successful team in the history of the Ranji Trophy and will have the home advantage against Uttar Pradesh.
While Manish Pandey’s form in the IPL will be a concern for the host state, it is worth reminding they reached the final for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy not long ago.
Furthermore, Mayank Agarwal is available for Karnataka and will be using Ranii Trophy as a stage to make a comeback to India team. He was dropped for the England series.
Opponent Uttar Pradesh will also fancy their chances and will like to add to their solitary win in 2006.
The likes of Rinku Singh, Priyam Garg will have added duties on their shoulders as they target a place in the latter stage.

Punjab vs Madhya Pradesh–

Punjab will have a major boost and despair as they will have Shubman Gill in the team, but Arshadeep Singh will be a missing party after inclusion with the national side against South Africa.
The team will have a good mix of youth and expericne but will have to at their fluenmt best to end a 30-year drought to win the Ranji Trophy, their only success in the 1990’s.
Madhya Pradesh on the flip side will have to work their way to win the Ranji Trophy for the first time.
The likes of Avesh Khan, Rajat Patidar, Venkatesh Iyer will boost the team prospect, and will be vital if MP are to make the last four.

Mumbai vs Uttarakhand –

A record 41 times champions, Mumbai will try to add to their tally of titles as they target a place in the semis.
However, that experience and resilience was tested as they needed a win in their final match alongside other key results to go their way.
In the end Mumbai eventually made it to the KO’s, but now face a team which is just three seasons old to the league.
While Uttarakhand will try to upset the odds, Mumbai will now try to bolster their chances and win the competition for the 42nd time.
While Shivam Dube will be an injury miss, Prithvi Shaw will be a key member of the squad.
