Hyderabad to put on a high score before their first dismissal

Hyderabad’s opening duo has been relatively inconsistent with their performance as their partnerships have varied greatly in their past few encounters. In the past five fixtures prior to this match, Tanmay Agarwal and Rahul Singh have achieved scores of 14, 16, 449, 132 and 6 runs together. They are projected to keep their partnership alive for a longer duration and post a high opening stand in the next game.

Hyderabad to have a better opening partnership than Meghalaya

Hyderabad’s opening pair, Tanmay Agarwal and Rahul Singh, have put on decent opening stands in the past three matches. They have scored 14, 16 and 449 runs together in their previous three encounters. Meghalaya’s openers, Raj Biswa and Arien Sangma, have posted opening stands of 17, 24, 39, 20, 14 and 6 in their previous three outings in six innings.

Hyderabad vs Meghalaya Best Batters

Tanmay Agarwal to be Hyderabad’s Best Batter

Tanmay Agarwal achieved his third century of the season against Nagaland in their previous encounter, having scored 164 runs from 192 balls, striking at 85.41. He is also the leading batsman for Hyderabad with 764 runs in six innings, including three centuries and a half-century. He could be relied upon to be their top batter once again.

Kishan Lyngdoh to be Meghalaya’s Best Batter

Kishan Lyngdoh, Meghalaya’s skipper, leads the team’s run charts with 657 runs in ten innings so far. He was their top run scorer in both innings against Mizoram, having amassed 32 runs from 55 deliveries in the first innings and 53 runs off 77 balls in the second innings. Given his consistency, he could emerge as their standout batsman once again in the next match.

Hyderabad vs Meghalaya Best Bowlers

Tanay Thyagarajan to be Hyderabad’s Best Bowler

Tanay Thyagarajan stands as the leading wicket-taker for Hyderabad with a haul of 46 wickets in 12 innings. He bowled two exceptional spells against Nagaland in their last encounter - during the first innings, he captured seven wickets in 19 overs and added six wickets to his tally in 26.3 overs in the following innings. Considering this recent performance, he could be anticipated to continue as their top bowler.

Aryan Bora to be Meghalaya’s Best Bowler

Aryan Bora has participated in a mere four innings so far and has managed to bag a whopping 22 wickets along the way. In their previous match against Mizoram, he bagged six wickets in 20.3 overs during the first innings and claimed four more wickets in 11 overs in the second innings. There is a good possibility he could remain as their leading bowler.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Hyderabad

Meghalaya managed to clinch victory in three out of five encounters during the group stage which put them in second place on the points table. However, Hyderabad was incredibly dominant during the season as they remained unbeaten in the group stage with five wins out of five matches. Considering the form they have been in, Hyderabad emerges as the favorite to come out on top and claim the Ranji Trophy Plate League title.
