BEN vs KAR Dream11 Match Prediction

BEN vs KAR Dream11 Match Preview: In the second semi-final of Ranji Trophy 2019-20, Bengal will be squaring off against Karnataka. This clash will take place at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

In the group stage, Bengal finished second just behind Gujarat with 4 wins, a loss and 3 draws from 8 fixtures. They faced Odisha in the quarterfinals where the match ended in a draw, however, on the basis of Bengal’s position on the points table, they breezed into the semifinals.

Meanwhile, just like Gujarat, Karnataka is the only other team in the competition so far not to get defeated. They looked good enough in the quarterfinals thumping Jammu and Kashmir by 167 runs which probably makes them the favorite going into this contest.

The clash will take place at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata, at 09:30 AM IST on 29th February.
