Ranji Trophy: Close contest on the cards as Andhra meets Hyderabad

Andhra and Hyderabad are set to face off in a Ranji Trophy Elite Group B match starting this Sunday. Andhra enters the contest following a strong performance against Karnataka, where S.V.

Rahul and Revanth Reddy anchored the batting while T. Vijay, Lalith Mohan, and Saurabh Kumar dominated with the ball.

Hyderabad arrives with momentum after their spinners, led by Aniketh Reddy and Tanay Thyagarajan, dismantled Tripura in their previous outing. Mohammed Siraj will captain Hyderabad before departing for international duty, while Andhra continues to operate under the guidance of coach Gary Stead.

Potential weather disruptions from forecasted thunderstorms could impact the outcome of this closely matched regional rivalry.
