Hyderabad vs Puducherry Chance of Winning
Hyderabad lost their second consecutive match of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25 after going down by six wickets against Saurashtra on Thursday. They were asked to bat first as they were restricted to 244/8 in 50 overs. Later, Saurashtra chased down the target after a brilliant hundred by Harvik Desai and a fifty by Jay Gohil. Hyderabad kicked off their campaign with a 42-run win over Nagaland, and lost to Mumbai in their second match.
Puducherry defeated Nagaland by three wickets on Thursday. Like Hyderabad, Puducherry also kicked off their campaign with a five-wicket win over Saurashtra, but lost their second match to Karnataka by three wickets.
Both the teams have looked average so far, and an even contest is expected when they lock horns against each other. However, Hyderabad will have a slight bit of upper hand in the match. Their captain Tilka Varma returned to form, and the likes of Tanmay Agarwal and Aravelly Avanish are also looking good. Apart from their performance against Saurashtra, their bowling unit has also looked good. They restricted Nagaland to 234/8 and had Mumbai seven down while defending 170.
Puducherry batters panicked after their successful run-chase against Saurashtra. They were restricted to 211/9 against Karnataka, and lost seven wickets and took 43 overs to chase 210 versus Nagaland. They could also manage to pick just six Nagaland wickets. An able bowling attack and a better firepower in the batting department is expected to keep Hyderabad ahead of Puducherry.

Hyderabad vs Puducherry Top Batters
Aravelly Avanish to be the top batter for Hyderabad
Hyderabad wicketkeeper-batter Aravelly Avanish has shown great form in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. He started with a hundred against Nagaland, and then scored a fifty against Mumbai. In his third outing against Saurashtra, the 19-year-old scored another fifty. His 56-ball innings consisted of six fours. Another handy knock could be on the cards for the youngster against Puducherry.
Arun Karthik to be the top batter for Puducherry
Puducherry captain Arun Karthik could manage to score only five runs against Nagaland. However, the team did not suffer and managed a three-wicket win. But the 38-year-old very well understands the importance of his contribution if Puducherry are to beat Hyderabad. The right-hander would once again look to prove his mettle with the bat after scoring unbeaten 73 against Saurashtra and 71 against Karnataka. He has scores of 5, 71, 73, 30 (T20), 41 (T20), 35 (T20), 30 (T20) and 52 (T20) in his last eight innings across formats.
Hyderabad vs Puducherry Top Bowlers
Saranu Nishanth to be the top bowler for Hyderabad
Saranu Nishanth failed to pick any wicket in the third match of his List A career but we can expect the young colt to bounce back. The 19-year-old pacer was very impressive in the first two matches. He picked two wickets for 25 runs against Nagaland, and then scalped three wickets for 42 runs against Mumbai. The 19-year-old bowled five wickets against Saurashtra and gave away 39 runs without taking any wickets as Hyderabad struggled and lost to Saurashtra. Hyderabad are counting on Nishanth and he is expected to bring his best against under-confident Puducherry batters.
Sidak Gurvinder Singh to be the top bowler for Puducherry
The Varanasi-born Puducherry cricketer picked four of the six wickets against Nagaland on Thursday. On the top of that, the 25-year-old conceded just 35 runs in 10 overs. Sidak, who has played just three List A matches till date, picked one wicket against Saurashtra. The left-arm spinner holds a good record in first-class cricket where he has picked 15 wickets in four outings. The economical four-wicket haul against Nagaland has made him a bowler to watch out for in Hyderabad vs Puducherry clash.
