Team Preview
Hubli Tigers (HT):
The Hubli Tigers have been the most consistent team in the Maharaja T20 Trophy 2025. Led by Devdutt Padikkal, their batting has been anchored by Mohammed Taha, who has been among the top scorers in the tournament with over 270 runs. Abhinav Manohar and Karthikeya KP have provided valuable middle-order stability, while Shivkumar Rakshith has been reliable behind the stumps. Their bowling attack looks potent with Yash Raj Punja emerging as a star performer, taking 18 wickets so far, supported by KC Cariappa and Sanjay Kumar Sihag. Hubli’s balanced unit makes them the top favorite, and they’ll want to maintain momentum heading into the knockouts.
Shivamogga Lions (SL):
It has been a forgettable season for the Shivamogga Lions. Despite having experienced players like Nihal Ullal and Aneeshwar Gautam, they haven’t managed to click as a unit. Their batting lineup has failed to produce consistent partnerships, leaving too much pressure on the middle order. On the bowling side, Vidhwath Kaverappa and Anand Doddamani have shown glimpses of skill but lacked the support needed to restrict strong batting sides. With elimination already confirmed, the Lions will play for pride and aim to end their campaign on a high note with an upset win.

Favorite Team in Today’s Match
The Hubli Tigers enter as clear favorites due to their form, balance, and momentum. Their batting lineup has clicked consistently, and their bowling unit led by Yash Raj Punja has been difficult for opponents to counter. Meanwhile, Shivamogga Lions’ lack of wins and inconsistency across departments make them vulnerable. While cricket often surprises, the Tigers’ superior team balance and confidence make them the strongest contender in today’s clash.
