Team A vs Team B Chance of Winning

The 2024-25 Indian domestic cricket season will begin with the Duleep Trophy. The first round of games will begin from September 5, 2024. The tournament will be held in a new avatar, with the zonal system being replaced with India A, B, C, and D, who will compete in a round-robin format that will not include any knockout games.

Team A will be captained by India opener Shubman Gill and features a roster full of notable players across both batting and bowling. The 16-member squad includes two additional openers alongside Gill, with Mayank Agarwal and KL Rahul competing for the spots. Dhruv Jurel will take on the wicketkeeping duties. The pace attack is strong, featuring Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Khaleel Ahmed, and Avesh Khan, while the spin department will be led by Kuldeep Yadav, India’s leading left-arm wrist-spinner.

Team B will be led by Abhimanyu Easwaran. They will be missing India pacer Mohammed Siraj and veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who has been released from the squad. Navdeep Saini will step in for Siraj, but no replacement has been named for Jadeja. While India B's pace attack may not be as strong as India A's, their formidable spin department featuring Washington Sundar, R. Sai Kishore and Rahul Chahar, promises to be a significant challenge for the batters.

Team A vs Team B Betting Tips

Team A to score high runs before 1st dismissal (@Batery)

Team A has many options in the batting unit. Shubman Gill, Mayank Agarwal and KL Rahul will contest for the spot. In any case, the opening order makes up for a strong opening pair. Gill, Agarwal and Rahul average at 49.80, 45.43 and 44.18 in their respective First-class careers. Moreover, Team B will miss out on a strong pace attack which will enable the Team A batters to bundle in many runs in the game.

Team A vs Team B Toss Prediction

The pitch tends to be good for batting early on, with even bounce and pace. Teams winning the toss often prefer to bat first to take advantage of the fresh pitch. Scoring runs in the first innings is critical because the pitch might start to deteriorate as the match progresses. The pitch usually starts to assist spinners more as the game goes on, with wear and tear causing the surface to break up. Most teams prefer to bat first if they win the toss, aiming to post a big first-innings score and then apply pressure with spin later in the game.

Team A vs Team B Betting Odds

Shubman Gill and Mayank Agarwal will open for Team A, with either KL Rahul or Tilak Verma slotting in at 3 or 4, and Dhruv Jurel at 5. This setup means one of Riyan Parag or Shivam Dube, both with impressive Ranji Trophy averages, will miss out. Tanush Kotian, the only uncapped bowler, will partner with Kuldeep Yadav, while Akash Deep and Avesh Khan, recent Test players, will also feature. Khaleel Ahmed, the squad’s sole left-arm pacer, will complete the lineup.

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Abhimanyu Easwaran will open for Team B, with Musheer Khan joining his brother Sarfaraz Khan, and Rishabh Pant possibly making his first red-ball appearance since December 2022. Nitish Kumar Reddy is expected to start, while Washington Sundar and R Sai Kishore will serve as the finger-spinning all-rounders. Mukesh Kumar led the pace attack, supported by Mohit Avasthi and Yash Dayal, with Navdeep Saini missing out.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Team A

With the dissolution of the zonal systems, the four teams formed are the amalgamation of the previous teams. Hence, it will be tough to foretell the winners of this contest. However, Team A will be backed by fantastic red-ball batters who also have significant experience in the format. Whereas the pacers in the team will enable them to dominate this affair. Team B also has a strong squad but lacks in their pace attack. We predict for Team A to be the winners.
