Narendra Modi Stadium

Two-time finalists Punjab begin their 2024/25 Vijay Hazare Trophy campaign in Group C against Arunachal Pradesh in Ahmedabad. The match is scheduled to be played at 9:00 AM IST on 21st December at the biggest stadium in the world, the Narendra Modi Stadium in Gujarat.

Facts:

  • Punjab’s Baltej Singh is seven wickets short of the 50-wicket milestone in List A cricket.
  • Across the last two seasons, Arunachal Pradesh have been bowled out in all but two of the 13 matches they played.

Arunachal Pradesh vs Punjab Chance of Winning

Arunachal Pradesh has seen a slight progression in their results in the last two seasons. After finishing winless in the 2022/23 season, they managed to get off the mark in the last campaign with a win over Assam by 22 runs. While they could get another win in the format, it is highly unlikely to come against Punjab.

Punjab have qualified for the final twice in their history, but have failed to win on either occasion. While they topped the table in the 2022/23 season with 6 wins in 6, they could only manage 3 wins last season. Punjab and their fans will be looking for consistency from their side and an expected win over Arunachal Pradesh would do well to calm their nerves.

Arunachal Pradesh vs Punjab Prediction & Betting Tips 2024

On paper, Punjab are superior to Arunachal Pradesh in all departments and we’re expecting that to be on display in Ahmedabad when the two teams face each other.

Any batsman from Punjab’s top order can be picked to go big in the match. Abhishek Sharma and Prabhsimran Singh could end the match with the top two scores from the game.

Arunachal Pradesh vs Punjab Match Toss Prediction

Teams have preferred to bowl first after winning the toss at the Narendra Modi Stadium and have found a lot of success. With the pitch not favouring the batters, we expect the team that wins the toss to field first.

Weather Report

There is no rain expected in Ahmedabad on the day of the match and the temperature is expected to be around the 25 degrees mark. All in all, it’s a good day for a game of cricket.

Arunachal Pradesh’s batsmen lost their wickets in all but one match last season. They managed to score above 200 only once in six games and hence, we’re backing the Punjab bowlers to not concede many runs.

Arunachal Pradesh vs Punjab Top Batters

Kamsha Yangfo to be Arunachal Pradesh’s top batsman

Arunachal Pradesh’s wicketkeeper-batsman Kamsha Yangfo is our pick to be the team’s best batter in the match. With 182 runs in his last 8 matches in the format, the 32-year-old is the most in-form batsman from his team.

Prabhsimran Singh to be Punjab’s top batsman

We’ve picked another wicketkeeper-batsman as our choice for the best batter. Punjab’s Prabhsimran Singh was the team’s topscorer in last season’s Vijay Hazare Trophy while he also scored over 200 runs in the SMAT. He’s likely to go all guns blazing in the match.

Arunachal Pradesh vs Punjab Top Bowlers

Yab Niya to be Arunachal Pradesh’s top bowler

While we’re not expecting Arunachal Pradesh to trouble Punjab, if Punjab does lose any wickets, it could be off the bowling of pacer Yab Niya. The conditions at the Narendra Modi Stadium are in favour of pace bowlers over spinners, which could help Niya add more wickets to his tally of 15 scalps in the last 7 matches.

Baltej Singh to be Punjab’s top bowler

Baltej Singh took 15 wickets in just 6 matches last season in the Vijay Hazare Trophy to emerge as the team’s best bowler. In the SMAT, the medium pacer took 9 wickets in five games. The 34-year-old will use his experience to ensure Punjab don’t lose focus in the match.

Our Prediction

We expect Punjab to romp home with a dominating win over Arunachal Pradesh irrespective of them batting first or chasing a target.
