Karnataka vs Arunachal Pradesh Betting Tips
Karnataka left-arm pacer Abhilash Shetty rocked the Punjab batting unit in his debut List A match. The left-arm pacer picked five wickets for 44 runs in 10 overs as Karnataka were bundled out for 247. He picked the wickets of Abhishek Sharma, Anmol Malhotra, Ramandeep Singh, Mayank Markande and Arshdeep Singh. The match against Arunachal Pradesh will be another opportunity for the youngster to come down all guns blazing.
Arunachal Pradesh batters Hardik Varma impressed in his List A debut against Punjab by scoring 38 runs off 52 balls. His innings consisted of five fours and a six. However, he has been benched from the side's next two matches.

Karnataka vs Arunachal Pradesh Odds
Karnataka opening partnership to be over 19.5
Karnataka's opening pair of Nikin Jose and Mayank Agarwal have a very bright chance of scoring big against Arunachal Pradesh. The reasons behind it are obvious. Mayank Agarwal hit top form with a match-winning hundred against Punjab, and Nikin Jose would also look to come out of his lean patch against an opponent which has taken just four wickets from their first three matches. Mayank Agarwal and Nikin Jose partnered for 50 runs against Punjab, and would be taking that confidence against Arunachal Pradesh.

Karnataka vs Arunachal Pradesh Top Batters
Mayank Agarwal to be the top batter for Karnataka
Karnataka captain Mayank Agarwal played a stunning unbeaten knock to hand his team a thrilling one-wicket win over Punjab. The 139-run knock off 127 balls consisted of 17 fours and three sixes. A big knock was round the corner as he scored 18 versus Puducherry and a fluent 47 against Mumbai. The experienced India star went unsold at the IPL 2025 auction, and has a point to prove while leading his state side. The opener has featured in a total of 116 List A matches and scored 5169 runs at an average of 47.42. Mayank has 15 List A hundreds to his name.
Prince Yadav to be the top batter for Arunachal Pradesh
Prince Yadav is currently the leading run-scorer for Arunachal Pradesh in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. He has scored 60 runs in two matches at an average of 60. The 23-year-old did not play against Mumbai, and Arunachal could not even cross the 100-run mark. He showed grit and scored an unbeaten 37 runs off 72 balls as Arunachal Pradesh were bundled out for 131 against Saurashtra. In his first outing against Punjab, Yadav scored 23 off 49. The right-hander would look to get in the eleven and score more valuable runs for his team.
Karnataka vs Arunachal Pradesh Top Bowlers
Vasuki Koushik to be the top bowler for Karnataka
Vasuki Koushik continues to be the most important new ball bowler of the Karnataka bowling unit. He bowled 9.1 overs against Punjab and picked two wickets for 43 runs. The pacer has picked three wickets in three matches at an average of 37.33 in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. The 32-year-old has an extremely impressive economy rate of 3.81, the lowest among all his teammates. Overall, Koushik has played 37 List A matches and picked 67 wickets at an average of 15.41.
Yab Niya to be the top bowler for Arunachal Pradesh
It's hard to pick an Arunachal Pradesh bowler, who can be a standout performer against an extremely tough opponent like Karnataka. Arunachal Pradesh in their first three matches have managed to pick just four wickets. Three of those four wickets 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. Yab Niya, who has 20 wickets in 18 List A matches, would be looking to emerge as his team's best bowler yet again.
