Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Betting Tips

Hyderabad to score high before first dismissal

Tanmay Agarwal and Abhirath Reddy have been the linchpin openers for Hyderabad in the competition so far, and their collaboration has yielded strong results for the team. Although the last match was not their a showcase of their best performance, considering they scored 13 and 10 runs, they set up massive totals of 58* and 65 runs in the two matches prior to that. They are on course to return to form and post yet another competitive stand in the next match.

Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Betting Odds

Hyderabad to have a better opening partnership than Rajasthan

Abhijeet Tomar has been Rajasthan’s mainstay opener, having opened with Sachin Yadav and Sumit Godara in the previous three matches. However, their partnerships have not been particularly impressive considering they secured totals of 30, 7, 1, 19 and 35 runs. On the other hand, Tanmay Agarwal and Abhirath Reddy have been a tad more prolific in this regard as they set up stands of 13, 10, 58* and 65 runs in the last three outings. Despite their downtrend in the previous encounter, the bookmakers anticipate the latter to come good and put on a big total in the upcoming fixture.

Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Best Batters

Tanmay Agarwal to be Hyderabad’s Best Batter

Tanmay Agarwal was not among Hyderabad’s top scorers in the last game against Himachal Pradesh, having scored 33 and 5 runs. However, he continues to be their leading run-getter in the tournament so far with 220 runs in four innings. He has a century and half-century under his belt along with an average of 55.00, and he is expected to come out on top in the next encounter.

Deepak Hooda to be Rajasthan’s Best Batter

The prediction for the previous game panned out as expected since Deepak Hooda led Rajasthan’s run charts against Mumbai as he notched up a 248-run double century. He is in a league of his own with a whopping 411 runs in four innings and an average of 102.75, and he remains the top choice against Hyderabad, too.

Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Best Bowlers

Tanay Thyagarajan to be Hyderabad’s Best Bowler

As predicted, Tanay Thyagarajan emerged as the leading wicket-taker for Hyderabad against Himachal Pradesh as he claimed four wickets in the first innings and one more in the second. He has extended his lead overall with 11 wickets in four innings and an average of 23.00, making him the top contender against Rajasthan as well.

Kukna Ajay Singh to be Rajasthan’s Best Bowler

Kukna Ajay Singh was Rajasthan’s top bowler against Mumbai last time out, having captured a four-wicket haul in the first innings and two more wickets in the second. He is now their second leading wicket-taker overall with seven wickets in four innings and an average of 24.71. Based on his present form, he is anticipated to be their premier bowler once again.

Our Prediction

Rajasthan have had a mixture of results in the tournament so far as they currently occupy third place in the Group D standings with a win, a loss, a draw and a competitive net run rate of 1.214. Hyderabad are the table toppers with two draws, a win and a net run rate of 1.136. Although they are down 0-2 against Rajasthan in the last five head-to-head games, they are a balanced side which makes Hyderabad the favorites to dominate the next match as well.
