Punjab vs Puducherry Chance of Winning
Punjab, the Group C table-toppers, who have already qualified for the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25 quarter-finals, have a high chance of capping off their league stage fixtures with a win. Punjab have won five of their six games. They have also won each of their last three matches. Punjab hammered Hyderabad by 80 runs in their last match in which they scored 426/4.
Puducherry, on the other hand, are out of the quarter-finals race. They are placed sixth in Group C after three wins and as many losses. Punjab suffered a massive 163-run defeat against Mumbai in their last game.
Punjab batters are batting like a dream and making runs for fun. They lost to Karnataka, but it was a narrow defeat as their bowlers had Karnataka nine down for 203 while defending 248. Punjab have breached the 400-run mark in two consecutive matches now, and that would scare Puducherry, who have struggled with the bat in the majority of their matches.

Punjab vs Puducherry Top Batters
Abhishek Sharma to be the top batter for Punjab
Abhishek Sharma came down all guns blazing against Hyderabad, and scored 93 runs off 72 balls. The innings consisted of seven fours and six maximums. He was at his brutal best against Saurashtra as well on Monday. The southpaw scored 170 runs off just 96 balls. The innings from Abhishek consisted of 22 fours and eight sixes. The 24-year-old scored 66 runs in his third-last match against Mumbai. After a slow start to his campaign, the 22-year-old is now the second-highest run-scorer for Punjab in the ongoing tournament. He has scored 397 runs at an average of 66.16 and a strike rate of 141.78.
Aman Hakim Khan to be the top batter for Puducherry
Puducherry all-rounder Aman Hakim Khan is not only the leading wicket-taker for Puducherry, but he has also scored the most runs for his side in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. He has scored 198 runs in six matches at an average of 49.50. He scored 45 against Karnataka, and 70 not out against Nagaland. Aman's scores in the last three innings are 15, 8 and 14, and he would be more than eager to finish his very decent campaign with a splendid knock against Mumbai.
