01

Hyderabad complete a clear result

Hyderabad dismissed Andhra for 130 in the second innings to win by 267 runs. The BCCI scorecard confirms the match ran from October 18 to 21, 2026, and records the result at DVR Ground, Mulapadu.

That margin came from a target of 398. Hyderabad’s first-innings 275 became 306/7 declared in the second innings, while Andhra replied with 184 and then 130 all out in 30.5 overs. The detailed ESPNcricinfo scorecard independently matches those totals and the winning margin.

02

Thyagarajan delivers in both innings

Thyagarajan’s bowling figures explain the scale of Hyderabad’s win: 5/63 in Andhra’s first innings followed by 6/35 in the second. Together, the two spells gave him 11 wickets in the match. ESPNcricinfo also lists him as Player of the Match.

His second-innings six-for closed out the chase before lunch on the fourth day. He removed Hemanth Reddy, Ricky Bhui, S.V. Rahul, Revanth Reddy, Saurabh Kumar and K.V. Sasikanth as Andhra’s reply fell from 55/3 to 130 all out. Aniketh Reddy added three wickets in that innings.

03

The unbeaten 53 that set the target

Thyagarajan was not only Hyderabad’s principal match-winner with the ball. He made 53 not out from 64 balls in the second innings, with two fours and three sixes, remaining at the crease when Hyderabad declared on 306/7.

The innings gave Hyderabad the extra lift needed to turn its first-innings lead into a demanding target. The scorecard records his strike rate at 82.81; the key fact is that his unbeaten contribution arrived in the same match as his 11 wickets.

04

One Mulapadu venue, different labels

BCCI calls the venue DVR Ground, Mulapadu. ESPNcricinfo identifies the ground as the Andhra Cricket Association Grounds at Mulapadu, while reports from Sportstar and The Hindu use ACA Stadium or ACA Stadium Grounds, Mulapadu.

These references describe the same Mulapadu match context, not two separate grounds. Readers looking up the result should use the teams, dates and Mulapadu location alongside the venue label.

05

What the result means in Group B

The ESPNcricinfo match details award Hyderabad six points and Andhra none. The Hindu and Sportstar reported that Hyderabad moved to 13 points and the top of Elite Group B after a second consecutive win; that table position is reported competition context, not a new scorecard total.

Hyderabad’s next fixture was reported as a Punjab match at Gymkhana from October 26. That schedule detail is retained here only as contemporaneous reporting; it is not used to claim a later result or confirmed playing XI.

06

A domestic-cricket format note

This was a first-class Ranji Trophy match, rather than an international or franchise T20 fixture. Readers comparing competition terminology can use the Domestic Cricket guide, which explains formats, competition levels and Cricket ID account terminology. It does not provide official board registration, team selection, tickets, streaming or approval.

For earlier domestic context, the site’s Ranji Trophy opening-round snapshot is a different match and should not be read as this Hyderabad–Andhra result. Likewise, Uday Saharan’s Punjab innings milestone is separate domestic coverage, not a latest completed Punjab result.
