Facts:
- Puducherry won just two matches in the 2022 season of the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
- In the 2023 season of the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy, Puducherry was completely winless.
Puducherry vs Railways Chances of Winning
Puducherry had a terrible season in the previous edition of the Vijay Hazare Trophy with just two wins in six matches. They were unable to redeem themselves in the recent Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy as well considering they took a step backwards instead. They walked away with no wins or points on the board and faced humiliating defeats in nearly every match they took part in.
Railways did not perform particularly well in the last edition of the Vijay Hazare Trophy either, given that they won three matches out of seven. But they made progress in the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy and took home four wins out of seven matches, finishing fourth in the Group C standings at the end. They beat Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, Saurashtra and Andhra. Their victory over Saurashtra was particularly impressive since they were the defending champions of the Vijay Hazare Trophy in 2022.
- Puducherry chance of winning - 27%
- Railways chance of winning - 73%

Akash Kargave, Puducherry’s skipper, was the only batsman who stood out from the squad and did a major part of the contribution in the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy.

Fabid Ahmed emerged as their top wicket-taker with just six wickets in five innings.
Upendra Yadav, Railways’ wicket-keeper, was leading the run charts of the team with 301 runs in six innings. He was miles ahead of his teammates since the second highest was Pratham Singh with 184 runs in seven innings. Yuvraj Singh displayed his wicket-taking prowess by capturing nine wickets in seven innings.

Puducherry vs Railways Betting Odds
Railways to have a better opening partnership than Puducherry
Railways was able to accumulate an opening partnership of 26 runs between Shivam Chaudhary and Vivek Singh in their last match against Andhra before the former’s wicket fell in 4.4 overs. Although this was not a particularly impressive collaboration, Puducherry was significantly worse as they were only able to garner a partnership of eight runs against Uttarakhand between their opening duo, Akash Kargave and Arun Karthik, and the latter lost his wicket in just 1.2 overs. Railways can be expected to have a better first wicket partnership in their upcoming game against Puducherry.
