Puducherry opening partnership to be over 19.5
Arunachal Pradesh bowlers have given opportunity to almost all the opening pairs they have come across in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25, and Puducherry's Ganga Sridhar Raju and Ajay Rohera will also look to encash on the opportunity. The pair could partner for only three runs against Hyderabad, five runs against Nagaland, and one against Karnataka. However, in the opening match against Saurashtra, they scored 53 runs together. Raju scored 26, while Rohera scored 43. The match against Arunachal Pradesh is expected to see the Puducherry openers get back to form and score over 19 runs together.

Arunachal Pradesh vs Puducherry Top Batters
Hardik Varma to be the top batter for Arunachal Pradesh
Hardik Varma impressed for the second time in a row, playing a fighting 38-run knock off 82 balls against Karnataka. Arunachal Pradesh were five down for 46 when he forged a solid 90 runs stand with Abhinav Singh. The gritty innings from Hardik consisted of two boundaries. He was benched from the team's last two matches after he impressed in his List A debut against Punjab. He scored 38 runs off 52 balls with the help of five fours and a six against Punjab.
Arun Karthik to be the top batter for Puducherry
Puducherry captain Arun Karthik has flunked with the bat in his last outings after making a strong start to his Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25 campaign. He was dismissed for six off 23 against Hyderabad in his last outing, while the match against Nagaland saw him score just five runs off seven balls. Arunachal Pradesh's woeful bowling attack would give him an opportunity to bounce back to form. The 38-year-old scored 73 against Saurashtra and 71 against Karnataka, and would be aching for another good score when he comes out to bat against Arunachal. Overall, Arun has scored 2347 List A runs at an average of 31.71. ,
Arunachal Pradesh vs Puducherry Top Bowlers
Yab Niya to be the top bowler for Arunachal Pradesh
Once again It's hard to pick an Arunachal Pradesh bowler, who can make an impression against Puducherry. Notably, Arunachal Pradesh bowlers have combined to pick just four wickets in their first four matches, three of them have been picked by right-arm pacer Yab Niya. He picked his team's only wicket against Punjab, and then picked the only two Saurashtra wickets which fell in the second match. The 30-year-old got to bowl only one over against Mumbai as the match itself ended in less than six overs. He leaked 35 runs in three overs against Karnataka in his last outing. Regardless, eyes will once again be on Yab Niya, who has 20 wickets in 20 List A matches.
Aman Hakim Khan to be the top bowler for Puducherry
Aman Khan is one of the three Puducherry bowlers, who have picked five wickets in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. He has played in all the four matches so far and bowled at an average of 30.80 and an economy rate of 5.92. The 28-year-old pacer picked two wickets each against Karnataka and Saurashtra, and one against Nagaland. Aman has also scored over 150 runs with the bat, and that has given him further confidence. The match against Arunachal Pradesh will give Aman a good opportunity to showcase his bowling potential.
