Hyderabad vs Punjab Top Batters

Tilak Varma to be the top batter for Hyderabad

The innings from the southpaw consisted of seven fours and a six. After getting out for ducks in the first two matches of the tournament, Varma smashed a fifty against Saurashtra. The 22-year-old missed out on a hundred by one run in his last outing, and he would be determined to score in triple digits at least once in the tournament. Hyderabad are technically out of the quarter-finals race, and Tilak Varma would be aiming to make the most of the last two chances.

Abhishek Sharma to be the top batter for Punjab

Abhishek Sharma was at his brutal best against Saurashtra on Monday. The southpaw scored 170 runs off just 96 balls. The innings from Abhishek consisted of 22 fours and eight sixes.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Punjab

Punjab are in a strong position to beat Hyderabad in their second-last group stage game of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. They have lost just one match so far, and that to was a narrow one-wicket defeat at the hands of Karnataka. The Abhishek Sharma-led team is in really good shape, and are expected to make life really difficult for inconsistent Hyderabad. Punjab scored over 400 runs in their last match against a decent Saurashtra bowling unit, and that would have further boosted the morale of the team. ‌
