Puducherry elected to field first in the first match of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25 at the ADSA Railways Cricket Ground, Ahmedabad. They defeated Saurashtra by five wickets and eight balls remaining. However, Punjab might look to bat first and have a good batting practice if they win the toss.

Punjab vs Nagaland Top Batters

Abhishek Sharma to be the top batter for Punjab

Punjab captain Abhishek Sharma can come down hard against Nagaland after his 10-run outing against Arunachal Pradesh. The India star has made a name for himself by his exceptional ability to time the ball with utmost power. He scored unbeaten 106 runs in his last T20 outing against Meghalaya on December 5. Overall, the southpaw has featured in 54 List A matches and scored 1557 runs at an average of 31.14.

Yugandhar Singh to be the top batter for Nagaland

Yugandhar Singh emerged as the leading run-scorer for Nagaland in their outing against Hyderabad. He scored 80 runs off 110 balls as Nagaland finished at 234/8 in 50 overs while chasing 277. His innings consisted of seven fours and two sixes. It was his debut List A match. Eyes will be on him once again.

Punjab vs Nagaland Top Bowlers

Mayank Markande to be the top bowler for Punjab

Talented leg-spinner Mayank Markande picked three wickets in nine overs against Arunachal. He gave away just 31 runs, also bowling two maiden overs. The 27-year-old would aim to trap Nagaland batters with his guile. Overall, the leg-spinner has played 65 List A matches and picked 104 wickets at an average of 23.44.

Imliwati Lemtur to be the top bowler for Nagaland

Imliwati Lemtur returned with impressive figures of 4/48 in 8.1 overs against Hyderabad. The left-arm spinner was one of the main reasons why Nagaland managed to bundle out Hyderabad for 276 in 48.1 overs. It would be interesting to see how the 32-year-old fares against a star-studded Punjab batting line-up. He has played 40 List A games till date and picked 43 wickets at an average of 30.25.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Punjab

Punjab are the red-hot favourites to beat Nagaland and continue to lead the Vizay Hazare Trophy Group C points table. A look at their batting unit would explain the reason behind it. Captain Abhishek Sharma and his opening partner Prabhsimran Simran are more than capable of demolishing Nagaland on their own. The two batters are followed by the likes of Anmolpreet Singh, Ramandeep Singh and Nehal Wadhera. Punjab also have the likes of Mayank Markande, Abhishek, Ramandeep and experienced Baltej Singh in their bowling department. The likes of pacer Arshdeep Singh and Gurnoor Brar did not even play in the first match. Nagaland, on the other hand, lack the experience of facing a team like Punjab. Hyderabad managed to score 276 against them despite not having a firepower like Punjab. Nagaland batters would also feel the heat. Only two of their batters managed to score over 25 runs in their first Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25 match.
  • Punjab to win @ 1.02 (Batery)
  • Nagaland to win @ 13.00 (Batery)
