Team Previews
Mysore Warriors Preview
Mysore Warriors have had a mixed campaign so far, sitting at 4th place with 1 win and 1 loss. Their batting lineup is spearheaded by the reliable M Venkatesh, who has already scored 89 runs in the tournament. Alongside him, Colanda Ajit Karthik has been a standout performer, scoring crucial runs and picking up 4 wickets to make him a true all-round asset. Experienced campaigners like Manish Pandey and Karun Nair lend stability to the middle order, while Prasidh Krishna’s pace attack remains a lethal weapon.
In their last outing against Hubli Tigers, the Warriors posted 177, thanks to Ajit Karthik’s fighting 71. However, lack of partnerships cost them a bigger total, which eventually proved insufficient as Hubli chased it down with ease. For this game, Mysore Warriors will need more contributions from their top-order batsmen, particularly Karun Nair and SU Karthik. With a well-rounded squad and depth in bowling, they remain strong contenders to bounce back.
Shivamogga Lions Preview
The Shivamogga Lions have endured a tough tournament so far, sitting at the bottom of the points table with 3 straight losses. Their batting has lacked consistency, with only Aniruddha Joshi (98 runs) showing signs of form. Dhruv Prabhakar has also impressed with a quickfire 44 in the last game, but the rest of the batting order has failed to provide support. Their last match against Gulbarga Mystics saw them post just 127 in a rain-shortened innings, which was chased down in only 7 overs, exposing both batting and bowling concerns.
Bowling-wise, V Kaushik has been the lone bright spot with 5 wickets, but he needs support from the likes of Vidwath Kaverappa and Aneeshwar Gautam. If their batting doesn’t click early, Shivamogga Lions risk another heavy defeat. They will rely on their seniors, especially Joshi and Kaushik, to guide them out of trouble.

Favourite Team Today
Mysore Warriors enter this clash as clear favorites. Despite losing their last game, they showcased strong individual performances, particularly from Ajit Karthik, who was outstanding with both bat and ball. The team has experience with Karun Nair and Manish Pandey anchoring the batting unit, while Prasidh Krishna provides international-level pace bowling. Compared to Shivamogga Lions, whose batting lineup has been fragile and over-reliant on Aniruddha Joshi, Mysore Warriors boast more depth and consistency. Their all-round strength and balance across departments give them the edge. If their top-order clicks, they can put up or chase down any target comfortably. Shivamogga Lions, on the other hand, need a near-perfect game to challenge the Warriors. Considering recent form, squad balance, and match-winners in the lineup, Mysore Warriors are the favorite team in today’s match.
