Mumbai vs Puducherry Top Batters

Ayush Mhatre to be the top batter for Mumbai

Mumbai opener Ayush Mhatre is the leading run-scorer for Mumbai in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. He has scored 309 runs in five matches at an average of 61.80. The 17-year-old scored 181 off 117 balls against Nagaland. The youngster has impressed since making his List A debut in the ongoing tournament, He scored 78 against Karnataka, and 28 runs against Hyderabad. Mhatre would eye consistency, and therefore would be determined to score good runs against Saurashtra in a crucial match for Mumbai.

Ankit Sharma to be the top batter for Puducherry

Puducherry's 33-year-old opener Ankit Sharma has played some handy knocks in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. He scored 42 runs off 34 balls against Arunachal Pradesh in his last outing.

Mumbai vs Puducherry Top Bowlers

Shardul Thakur to be the top bowler for Mumbai

As per our prediction, experienced Mumbai pacer Shardul Thakur emerged as the leading wicket-taker for Mumbai in the match against Nagaland. He picked three wickets for 17 runs in five matches. The 33-year-old has struggled for form and rhythm lately and also went unsold at the IPL 2025 auction. Shardul went wicketless against Karnataka, picking one wicket each against Punjab and Hyderabad. The out-of-favour India registered figures of 2/8 against Arunachal. A match-winning bowling performance against a top team is yet to come, and Shardul would surely be aiming to have a go at Saurashtra on Friday.

Aman Khan to be the top bowler for Puducherry

Aman Khan ran through the Arunachal Pradesh batting unit and finished with figures of 6/30 against Arunachal Pradesh. He dismissed six of the top seven Arunachal Pradesh batters. One of their openers got run out. The sensational spell has made Aman the leading wicket-taker for Puducherry in the tournament. The pacer has picked 11 wickets in five matches at an average of 16.72. The 28-year-old picked two wickets each against Karnataka and Saurashtra, and one against Nagaland. Aman has also scored over 150 runs with the bat, and that has given him further confidence. Aman will be very keen to impress against Mumbai as well.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Mumbai

Mumbai are very likely to beat Puducherry in their upcoming match of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. A place in the quarter-finals is at stake, and Shreyas Iyer's side is expected to come out all guns blazing against Puducherry, who have suffered due to their inconsistent and under-confident batters. The star-studded Mumbai has a weakness too. Their bowlers have not delivered as per the expectations, and the absence of their premier all-rounder Tanush Kotian, who is in Australia with Team India, has also left a void. But they look more than capable enough to beat a lacklustre Puducherry team. Shardul Thakur showed glimpses of past in his last outing, and that also is a very good sign for Mumbai.

• Mumbai to win @ 1.00 (Parimatch)
• Puducherry to win @ 12.95 (Parimatch)
