Hyderabad vs Saurashtra Betting Tips
Hyderabad captain Tilak Varma has been twice dismissed for a duck in as many matches of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. The poor run of the star batter has also rubbed on the Hyderabad side, and the southpaw would be raring to make amends in the match against Saurashtra. The southpaw has scored two hundreds and two fifties in his last 10 outings (both hundreds for India). He scored 46 runs in his last outing before the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Assuming that the twin failures are just a blip, we can expect him to score big against Saurashtra.
Saurashtra number three Jay Gohil scored 41 runs off 17 balls against Arunachal Pradesh on Monday. His innings consisted of eight fours and a six. The 24-year-old is trying to find his feet in the longer formats of the game, and the quickfire knock is expected to boost his confidence. Overall, he has featured in nine matches till date and scored 152 runs at an average of 21.71.

Tanmay Agarwal to be the top batter for Hyderabad
Hyderabad opener Tanmay Agarwal has scored back-to-back fifties in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. He scored 51 against Nagaland and followed it with a 74-ball 64 against Mumbai. The innings consisted of nine fours and a six. Agarwal, Abhirath Reddy and wicketkeeper-batter Aravelly Avanish are the only the batters who have contributed generously with the bat for Hyderabad so far. Tanmay Agarwal knows that his role becomes crucial under such circumstances, and he would be aiming for another good outing for his team. Overall, he has played 55 List A matches and scored 2438 runs at an average of 48.76.
Sheldon Jackson to be the top batter for Saurashtra
The opening slot has just clicked for 38-year-old Sheldon Jackson. After a watchful 72 off 94 against Puducherry, Jackson cut himself loose against Arunachal Pradesh, scoring unbeaten 45 runs off just 22 balls. The innings consisted of eight fours and a six. Jackson is looking to make a statement and we can expect some more solid knocks from him. Overall, the right-hand batter has scored 2770 runs in 83 List A matches at an average of 37.43. He has nine List A hundreds to his name.
Hyderabad vs Saurashtra Top Bowlers
Saranu Nishanth to be the top bowler for Hyderabad
As per our prediction Saranu Nishanth emerged as Hyderabad's leading wicket-taker against Mumbai. He bowled eight overs for 42 runs and three wickets. He picked the wickets of Hardik Tamore, Shardul Thakur and Atharva Ankolekar. The right-arm pacer was the most successful bowler for Hyderabad against Nagaland. With an economy rate of 3.1, he picked two wickets. The 19-year-old has impressed in his first two List A outings, and would be hoping to make further impact in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25.
Pranav Karia to be the top bowler for Saurashtra
Saurashtra off-spinner Pranav Karia was mighty impressive in his outing against Arunachal Pradesh. The 26-year-old picked four wickets for 44 runs in nine matches. He picked two wickets in the first match against Puducherry and three in his fourth last match against Railways in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024. Karia has kicked off his List A career in style and would be looking to make a further impression against Tilak Varma's Hyderabad.
