Hyderabad vs Nagaland Chance of Winning
Hyderabad were all force this year. Sure, it was plate group and they are better than that, but the way they showed their dominance this season, you could be incredibly sure of one thing that is a Hyderabad win in the next game. In the form of Tanmay Agarwal, they have got their star batter scoring runs at a free will.
Nagaland, on the other hand, weren’t very impressive, having secured just 14 points along the way and were at the fourth position on the table. They hold no chance against Hyderabad - that too, at the latter’s home venue of Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. So what are you thinking then?
HYD’s chance of winning is 99%
NAG’s chance of winning is 1%

Nagaland Team Form
In the Plate Group League stage, Nagaland could only secure two wins from five matches and ended up at the fourth position on the six-team points table. They were saved every time by Sumit Kumar, but for them to pose big challenge as a team, a proper step-up is needed. Do they have it in them?
Hyderabad vs Nagaland Head-To-Head
Hyderabad and Nagaland have played only once previously - that too earlier this season - in which Hyderabad won by an innings and 194 runs at the Nagaland Cricket Stadium, Sovima, Dimapur. The result of the upcoming game is a foregone conclusion too.
Hyderabad vs Nagaland Betting Odds
You can’t let go of Tanmay Agarwal. He has been an absolute force in the Ranji Trophy, and especially since that record-breaking triple-century against Arunachal Pradesh in Hyderabad, he has been the prime centre of attraction. You can also put your money on Chandan Shahni to do well. Tanay Thyagarajan, with the ball, has been the biggest source of wickets for Hyderabad, so we can bet on him to expect that wickets will keep on adding to the verses.

Rahul Singh to be Hyderabad’s best batter (Parimatch)
Rahul Singh has been the most consistent batter in the Plate Group Ranji Trophy, having amassed 612 runs from five innings at an average of 122.40. Just imagine the craziness. He is just behind Agni Chopra in terms of the highest runs scored in the ongoing tournament. So how can you leave him out?
Sumit Kunar to be Nagaland’s best batter (Parimatch)
Nagaland wicket-keeper Sumit Kumar has been in sensational form for his side, scoring 408 runs at an average of 58.28 in the Ranji Trophy. While Nagaland have been underperforming, Sumit Kumar stood as the only beacon of hope - making run-scoring really fun.
Hyderabad vs Nagaland Best Bowlers
Tanay Thyagarajan to be Hyderabad’s best bowler (Parimatch)

Imliwati Lemtur has 107 wickets in the Ranji Trophy and is the most successful Nagaland bowler in their history.
