Fazilka Falcons vs Mohali Kings 9th T20 Match Prediction, Sher-e-Punjab T20 League 2026

Fazilka Falcons vs Mohali Kings prediction for the 9th T20 of the Sher-e-Punjab T20 League 2026 gives Fazilka Falcons a slight advantage at the I.S. Bindra Punjab Cricket Association Stadium, Mohali. Fazilka have won one of their opening two matches, while Mohali Kings have managed one victory from three games. The Falcons began their campaign with an impressive eight-wicket chase against Jalandhar Warriors, reaching 192/2 after Jalandhar had posted 187. Their second game ended in a seven-wicket defeat against Amritsar Soormas despite Fazilka making 182/9.

Mohali began the tournament with an extraordinary five-wicket chase against Amritsar Soormas, successfully chasing 259, but their campaign has subsequently gone in the opposite direction. They lost by seven wickets to Bathinda Royals after making 176/9 and then suffered another seven-wicket defeat against Ludhiana Lions after being bowled out for only 101. Fazilka’s batting has been led by Vihaan Malhotra, who has scored 163 runs in two innings, including a century in the opening match and 60 from 34 balls in the second game. Stand-in captain Sanvir Singh has also made a strong impact with 114 runs at a strike rate above 178.

Mohali have several capable batters, with Anmolpreet Singh leading their scoring at 146 runs, although most of those runs came in the opening match. Ramandeep Singh and Harpreet Brar provide additional all-round value, while Sohraab Dhaliwal and Aryan Bhatia have also contributed useful runs. With only one win separating the sides and both teams needing points to stay competitive in the early league table, this match carries considerable importance. Fazilka’s superior batting consistency and better recent result give them the edge, but Mohali’s ability to chase 259 shows that they can produce an exceptional performance when their top order clicks.

Fazilka Falcons vs Mohali Kings Match Details

Fazilka Falcons Preview

Fazilka Falcons have one win and one defeat after their first two matches. Their opening performance was particularly impressive because they chased 188 against Jalandhar Warriors with eight wickets in hand.

Vihaan Malhotra was the standout performer in that game, scoring a century. He continued his excellent form against Amritsar, making 60 from 34 balls.

Malhotra has now scored 163 runs in two innings. His ability to score rapidly while still building substantial innings makes him the most important batter in Fazilka’s lineup.

Stand-in captain Sanvir Singh has also made a major contribution. He has scored 114 runs at a strike rate of 178.13 and made 63 from 35 balls in the previous match.

The Sanvir-Malhotra combination gives Fazilka an excellent platform. If either batter survives through the powerplay, the Falcons have enough batting depth to attack the middle and death overs.

Anshul Chaudhary has added 38 runs, while Prerit Dutta has contributed 17 in his only appearance. The team will want more support from the middle order after being restricted to 182/9 by Amritsar.

The bowling attack is led by Navpreet Singh, who has taken five wickets. He has been the team’s main wicket-taking option during the opening two matches.

Raghu Sharma and Kirandeep Singh have taken two wickets each. Jasan Jindal, Lakshay Kansal and Prerit Dutta have also provided additional bowling options.

Fazilka’s biggest weakness has been their inability to consistently restrict high-scoring opposition batting units. Amritsar chased 183 comfortably after Fazilka had posted a substantial total.

The Falcons therefore need their bowlers to improve at the death. Mohali have already demonstrated that they can score at an exceptional rate when their batting clicks.

There is also some selection uncertainty surrounding Shubman Gill. He is the team’s marquee player, but available match information indicates that Sanvir Singh is expected to continue leading the side.

Fazilka’s tactical priority should be simple: exploit the powerplay, give Malhotra and Sanvir maximum responsibility, and use Navpreet Singh aggressively with the ball.

The Falcons have the stronger recent batting profile and have avoided the kind of collapse that damaged Mohali in their latest game.

If their bowlers can keep Mohali below 180, Fazilka should have a strong chance of taking the points.

Mohali Kings Preview

Mohali Kings have played three matches and have one win against two defeats. Their campaign started spectacularly when they chased 259 against Amritsar Soormas by five wickets.

That result demonstrated the extraordinary ceiling of their batting unit. However, the following two matches have exposed serious consistency problems.

Mohali scored 176/9 against Bathinda Royals but lost by seven wickets. They then collapsed to 101 all out against Ludhiana Lions.

The latest defeat was particularly concerning because Mohali lost six wickets before reaching 44. Sohraab Dhaliwal attempted to rebuild the innings with 33 from 31 balls, but he received limited support.

Jaskaranvir Singh Paul scored 17 from 13 deliveries, while Harpreet Brar made 11. The lack of a substantial partnership left Mohali with an inadequate total.

Anmolpreet Singh remains their leading run-scorer with 146 runs. However, 133 of those runs came during the opening match, followed by scores of eight and five.

That trend makes Anmolpreet one of the key players to watch. If he returns to the form shown against Amritsar, Mohali’s batting could become considerably more dangerous.

Captain Ramandeep Singh has scored 93 runs. He made 69 in the opening game and 24 in the next match before being dismissed for a duck against Ludhiana.

Harpreet Brar has contributed 73 runs and provides useful balance as an all-rounder. Sohraab Dhaliwal and Aryan Bhatia have also crossed the 50-run mark in the tournament.

Bowling is led by Tejpreet Singh, who has taken five wickets. Ayush Goyal has three wickets, while Tanmay Dharni and Harpreet Brar have two each.

Tejpreet Singh took two wickets in the previous match and could be important against Fazilka’s aggressive opening pair.

Mohali’s major problem is the lack of sustained pressure. They have conceded big totals and then struggled to build partnerships during their own innings.

Their best tactical approach is to attack Fazilka’s top order early. Removing Malhotra and Sanvir could dramatically reduce the Falcons’ scoring rate.

Mohali also need a better middle-order response. Their opening-match victory showed that they are capable of chasing a huge total, but their recent scores indicate that the batting unit cannot rely on one or two players.

The Kings remain dangerous because of their high batting ceiling. However, based on the available evidence, Fazilka enter this match with greater consistency.

Pitch Report – I.S. Bindra Punjab Cricket Association Stadium

The Mohali surface generally provides good pace and carry, making it attractive for stroke-makers. The new ball can offer seam movement to disciplined fast bowlers, but once batters settle, the pitch tends to reward attacking shots. Recent Sher-e-Punjab matches at the venue have produced substantial totals, including Fazilka’s 182 and Mohali’s 176. Broader T20 venue statistics show an average first innings score of around 167, while recent analysis for the current competition has placed the first-innings average considerably higher at around 190. This difference reflects the small current-season sample and the high-scoring nature of the opening matches. Chasing has historically been successful at the ground, with five of 10 recorded T20s won by the team batting second.

Weather Report – Mohali

Mohali is expected to remain warm and humid, with partly cloudy conditions. Rain is possible, although the available forecast indicates that a major interruption is not certain. The broader weather outlook for the Tricity also carries a rain warning, so DLS could become relevant if showers interrupt play.

The Sher-e-Punjab T20 League 2026 is available for live streaming on FanCode. The platform lists Fazilka Falcons vs Mohali Kings as Match 9 at 7:00 PM, with live scores and match coverage available. Viewers should check the platform immediately before the game for the final streaming status and any regional availability changes.

Toss Prediction & Strategy

If Fazilka Falcons Win the Toss

Fazilka should bowl first. The venue has historically offered a reasonable chasing environment, while evening conditions can introduce dew. Fazilka also have enough batting strength to chase a target if Malhotra and Sanvir receive a good platform.

The Falcons should use Navpreet Singh aggressively in the powerplay and target Mohali’s vulnerable top order.

If Mohali Kings Win the Toss

Mohali should also bowl first. Their best opportunity is to use Tejpreet Singh and the other seam options to attack Fazilka’s top order before chasing.

The Kings have already demonstrated that they can chase an enormous target, so knowing the required score could help their powerful batting unit pace the innings.

Toss Prediction

Predicted toss winner: Fazilka Falcons.

Predicted decision: Bowl first.

The evening start, possible dew and historical chasing record at Mohali make bowling first a logical choice. The available current-season analysis also identifies chasing as the preferred approach, with the night matches in the tournament favouring teams batting second. Weather uncertainty adds another reason to avoid setting a target if conditions become unpredictable.

Score Prediction

Fazilka’s batting has produced 192/2 and 182/9 in their two matches, while Mohali have scored 262/5, 176/9 and 101/10. The projected ranges therefore allow for a high-scoring game but account for Mohali’s recent batting inconsistency.

Probable Batsman & Bowler

Fazilka Falcons vs Mohali Kings Winning Chances

Why 57%? Factors Behind the Prediction

The three biggest reasons behind the 57% projection are Fazilka’s superior current batting consistency, Vihaan Malhotra’s exceptional early-season form and Mohali’s back-to-back defeats.

However, the 43% allocation to Mohali reflects their proven ability to score at an extraordinary rate and the presence of several capable all-rounders.
