HYD vs MIZ Preview: Hyderabad Looks to Bounce Back Against Mizoram in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy

Date: 27th November 2024
Time: 05:30 GMT
Venue: [TBD]

Hyderabad will be eager to put their recent defeat against Bengal behind them as they take on Mizoram in their next Group A encounter of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy on 27th November. The match is scheduled to start at 05:30 GMT.

After a disappointing performance against Bengal, where they were bowled out for 137 in 18.3 overs, Hyderabad will be looking to regroup and come back stronger against Mizoram. The top-order batting collapse, which saw them lose their first three wickets for just 21 runs, was a major concern for Hyderabad. However, Tilak Varma's fighting 57 and Rahul Buddhi's 30 were some positives to take away from the match.

On the other hand, Mizoram will be looking to cause an upset against a stronger Hyderabad side. With not much known about their recent form, Mizoram will be relying on their team's collective effort to take down Hyderabad.

Key Players to Watch:

• Tilak Varma (Hyderabad): The young batsman was the top-scorer for Hyderabad in their previous match against Bengal, and he will be looking to continue his good form against Mizoram.
• Rahul Buddhi (Hyderabad): Buddhi played a crucial role in Hyderabad's innings against Bengal, and his experience will be crucial in guiding the team against Mizoram.
• [Mizoram's Key Player]: With not much information available about Mizoram's team, it's difficult to pinpoint a key player. However, their captain and top-order batsmen will be crucial in setting a competitive total.

Pitch and Conditions:

The pitch at [TBD] is expected to be a good batting surface, with some assistance for the spinners as the game progresses. The weather is expected to be clear, with no chance of rain.

Prediction:

Hyderabad, despite their recent defeat, are still the favorites to win this match against Mizoram. Their experience and strength in the top-order batting department give them an edge over Mizoram. However, Mizoram can still cause an upset if they can get their top-order batting right and put pressure on Hyderabad's bowling attack.

Final Verdict:

Hyderabad to win the match, but Mizoram to give them a tough fight.

Score Prediction:

Hyderabad: 160-170
Mizoram: 140-150
