Puducherry vs Andhra Pradesh Prediction & Betting Tips 2024
The pitch at the Cricket Association Puducherry Siechem Ground is a bowlers’ paradise. Even the table toppers, Vidarbha, lost all their wickets in both innings at the venue despite playing the home side, which lies at the bottom of the table.
We are backing the bowlers to perform well and expecting an average of more than 7 wickets to fall in each inning. We have been particularly impressed with Sagar Udeshi and will keep an eye out for him. The Puducherry spinner took 7 wickets the last time he played at the stadium and will be keen on helping his side restrict the Andhra batters to an achievable total.
Puducherry vs Andhra Pradesh Match Toss Prediction
The only match played at the venue so far this season saw Vidarbha bat first and win by 120 runs. The reason behind the captains favouring to bat first is the way the pitch worsens as the match progresses. It is a given in Puducherry that the captain that wins the toss will choose to bat first.
Weather Report
The teams are in for a windy game with winds of 14-16 km per hour blowing through during the match. The temperature is forecast to be in the early to mid twenties and with 5% chance of rain in the first three days, we can expect a result in Puducherry.

Puducherry vs Andhra Pradesh Betting Odds
Puducherry openers to outperform Andhra Pradesh’s opening pair
The opening partnerships by Andhra Pradesh’s top order have been very inconsistent. While they have put together one hundred and two fifties in 9 innings, they could only score in single digits in 5 innings and a score of 18 in another inning. Similarly, Puducherry have put together three 50-run partnerships and one century stand for the opening wicket in ten innings. They are playing at home and we’re expecting them to utilise the home conditions well and outperform the Andhra openers.

Puducherry vs Andhra Pradesh Top Batters
Ajay Rohera to be Puducherry’s top batsman
27-year-old Ajay Rohera has been Puducherry’s best batsman so far in the tournament. He has scored four fifties in ten innings and averages just under 50. He has a top score of 94 and will be eager to get his first hundred of the season in the group stage.
Shaik Rasheed to be Andhra Pradesh’s top batsman
Despite his tender age of 20 years, Shaik Rasheed has been Andhra’s most impressive batter in the Ranji Trophy so far. He has scored one hundred and three fifties in his last five games and is the only player from the team to cross 400 runs this season. We’re backing him to have the highest score from his team in Puducherry.
