Ranji One–Day Trophy

The Hyderabad team, led by Arjun Yadav, began their campaign in the Subbaiah Pillai Trophy as part of the South Zone Ranji One–Day Trophy, a List-A cricket tournament in India, with a loss against the Karnataka at Margao on 9 January 2005. The Hyderabad troubled the Karnataka top-order with three quick wickets but the middle-order helped the Karnataka to recover to 244 while the tight-bowling by the Karnataka bowlers ensured them a 15-run win despite the half-centuries from Daniel Manohar, Arjun and Ambati Rayudu. In a 42-over reduced rain-hit match, the top-order and lower-order collapse despite the half-centuries from Rayudu and Anirudh Singh restricted the Hyderabad to 166 while an unbeaten half-century from Sreekumar Nair helped the Kerala chase the target with five-wickets to spare. In the third match, the century from Abhinav Kumar along with an unbeaten half-century from Anirudh helped the Hyderabad post 288 but an unbeaten half-century from Sridharan Sharath and the half-century from Subramaniam Badrinath helped the Tamil Nadu chase the target with six-wickets to spare. In the fourth match, the Hyderabad top-order failed once again but the half-century from Rayudu and collective effort from the others helped them recover to 254 while the three-wicket haul from Inder Shekar Reddy along with the two-wicket hauls from Sankinani Vishnuvardhan and Pagadala Niranjan helped the Hyderabad win their first match of the tournament against the Goa by 78 runs despite the half-century from Mandar Phadke. In the final zonal match, Yalaka Venugopal Rao's five wicket haul helped the Andhra bowl the Hyderabad out for 144 while an unbeaten half-century from M. S. K. Prasad helped the Andhra chase the target with four-wickets to spare despite two-wicket hauls and tight bowling from Inder Shekar and Shivaji. This loss resulted the Hyderabad finish at fourth in the South Zone and failed to advance to the knockout stage with a win and four losses.
