Facts:
- None of the Puducherry batsmen managed to cross the 200-run mark in the 2023/24 season of the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
- Harvik Desai requires 159 runs to reach the 1500-run mark in List A cricket.
Puducherry vs Saurashtra Chance of Winning
Puducherry finished second from bottom in Group A of the 2023/24 Vijay Hazare Trophy after just 2 wins all tournament. The SMAT didn’t go their way either, losing four out of six matches. Their challenge gets even tougher with the start of the tournament against Saurashtra.
The last two limited overs tournaments Saurashtra participated in didn’t go as planned, failing to qualify for the knockout stages of the 2023/24 Vijay Hazare season that they came in as defending champions. Recently, they reached the quarters of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, but got knocked out by Madhya Pradesh. However, the 2022 Vijay Hazare champions come into the match as strong favourites and will be looking at starting their title hunt with a win.
Puducherry Chance of Winning - 7%
Saurashtra Chance of Winning - 93%
Our Prediction
While Saurashtra are not in the best form, they have a much stronger team on paper than Puducherry. We’re expecting them to register a big win over their opponents.
- Puducherry to Win - 7.70 (Batery)
- Saurashtra to Win - 1.08 (Batery)
Puducherry vs Saurashtra Prediction & Betting Tips 2024
Saurashtra are expected to steamroll over Puducherry in the match and we expect them to shine with both the bat and ball. We are backing Saurashtra to post a big total if they bat first or chase the target down with ease. Hence, we’re backing their openers to do well. Harvik Desai and Tarang Gohel are expected to open the batting for Saurashtra and we believe they will go big in the match.
Puducherry vs Saurashtra Match Toss Prediction
The ADSA Railways Cricket Ground is set to host the Vijay Hazare Trophy for the first time ever while the local matches on the ground have seen moderate scores. The toss could go either way but with it being a day match, the captain that wins the toss might want to bowl first to avoid fielding in the afternoon sun.
Weather Report
It is forecast to be a pleasant day in Ahmedabad when the match between Puducherry and Saurashtra is set to take place with temperatures hovering between 21 and 27 degrees celsius. There’s no chance of rain so we can expect the match to be completed.

Puducherry vs Saurashtra Top Batters
Ajay Rohera to be Puducherry’s top batsman
While Puducherry haven’t been great with the bat in recent tournaments, Ajay Rohera can hold his head high for his batting performances. The 27-year-old scored a century in the 2024 SMAT season and was the only player from the team to cross the 200-run mark. In a tough match for Puducherry, the team will be counting on Rohera to deliver once again.
Hardik Desai to be Saurashtra’s top batsman
The wicketkeeper batsman was Saurashtra’s leading run scorer in both the 2023/24 Vijay Hazare Trophy and the recently concluded Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. He averaged over 40 in both tournaments and consistently posted high scores. Puducherry will have a battle on their hands to keep Desai quiet.

Gaurav Yadav to be Puducherry’s top bowler
With 14 wickets in 7 matches, Gaurav Yadav was Puducherry’s leading wicket-taker in the 2023/24 Vijay Hazare Trophy. The medium pacer took 5 wickets in the 2024 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and the team will be counting on him to be Puducherry’s leading wicket-taker once again.
Dharmendrasinh Jadeja to be Saurashtra’s top bowler
Saurashtra will be banking on spinner Dharmendrasinh Jadeja’s experience for the upcoming Vijay Hazare Trophy. The left-armer was the team’s most prolific bowler in both the 2024 SMAT and the 2023/24 Vijay Hazare Trophy.
