Facts:
- The match will feature bowlers who have posted two of the four best figures by a bowler in a single inning this season. Lalith Mohan’s figures of 7/76 and Tanay Thyagarajan’s 7/106 are the third and fourth best spells in an inning in the 2024/25 Ranji Trophy so far.
- Andhra’s opener Maramreddy Reddy made his first class debut in the team’s last match - a draw against Uttarakhand at home.
Hyderabad vs Andhra Chance of Winning
Hyderabad have 8 points from their first four matches, ten behind second-placed Gujarat. They started their return to the Elite category with two losses before defeating Puducherry by an inning and 50 runs. They could only manage a draw against Rajasthan and now face an uphill task in making the knockouts.
Last season’s quarter-finalists, Andhra, have started the season in the worst possible form. They lost their first three matches in a row before settling for a draw in their most recent encounter against Uttarakhand. With just 1 point, they are virtually out of the running for the knockout stages and will be playing for pride in their remaining three group stage matches.

Hyderabad vs Andhra Prediction & Betting Tips 2024
Kodimela Himateja is Hyderabad’s only entrant in the Top 10 highest run scorers in the Ranji Trophy this season. His disciplined approach has seen him garner 380 runs so far and we are backing Himateja to go big once again.
We also believe that Tanay Thyagarajan could do well in the match. The spinner registered the fourth best bowling figure in an inning in the season in Hyderabad when he took 7/106 against Puducherry to help the team post a dominating win.
Hyderabad vs Andhra Match Toss Prediction
The only match played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium so far this season has seen Hyderabad opt to bat and register an innings victory. Both teams are struggling for form and hence, we’re expecting them to win the toss and bat first to avoid facing the pressure of chasing down an imposing total.
Weather Report
The temperature in Hyderabad is expected to hover between 19 and 31 degrees celsius. However, there is a 24% chance of rain on the first two days, which could see a rain-curtailed encounter.

Hyderabad vs Andhra Top Batters
Kodimela Himateja to be Hyderabad’s top batsman
Hyderabad’s young sensation Kodimela Himateja has been a picture of consistency in his debut Ranji Trophy campaign. The 23-year-old smashed a fifty in his debut match, a feat he repeated in the next two games as well. He went one step further in the fourth match with an unbeaten century against Rajasthan. Andhra will have to bowl really well to keep the big-hitting 23-year-old quiet.
Srikar Bharat to be Andhra’s top batsman
After failing in the first match, Andhra’s wicket-keeper batsman scored a fifty in each of the next three games. He narrowly missed out on a hundred twice, getting out on 98 and 92 against Gujarat and Uttarakhand respectively. We’re expecting the teams’ leading run scorer to add to his 314-run tally against Hyderabad.
Hyderabad vs Andhra Top Bowlers
Tanay Thyagarajan to be Hyderabad’s top bowler
The third most prolific bowler of the tournament, Tanay Thyagarajan has taken 23 wickets in 7 innings, including a season’s best 9-wicket haul against Puducherry in Hyderabad. The team will be relying on their 28-year-old left-arm orthodox bowler to restrict the Andhra batting to keep their quarter-final hopes alive.
Lalith Mohan to be Andhra’s top bowler
Andhra’s leading wicket-taker in the tournament, Lalith Mohan has been one of the few shining lights for the team this season. The slow left-arm spinner has taken 21 wickets in 7 innings so far at an average of under 25. It took him 6 matches and 11 innings to reach the 21-wicket mark last season.
