Mohali Kings vs Bathinda Royals Prediction, 21st T20 – Sher-E-Punjab T20 League 2026

Mohali Kings vs Bathinda Royals prediction for the 21st T20 of the Sher-E-Punjab T20 League 2026 presents a rematch of the competition’s third match, when Bathinda Royals defeated Mohali Kings by seven wickets at the same venue. The two teams will meet again at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali, on Wednesday, September 9, with the evening fixture scheduled for 7:00 PM IST. The official tournament schedule confirms the fixture as Match 21.

Mohali Kings have established themselves as one of the stronger teams in the competition. Before the September 8 fixtures, they had played six matches and won four, giving them eight points and the leading position in their group. Bathinda Royals had six points from six matches after three wins and three defeats.

Mohali’s recent form has improved significantly. They beat Fazilka Falcons by 40 runs on September 3, defeated Jalandhar Warriors by eight wickets in a rain-reduced 14-over contest on September 5 and then chased down 214 against Ludhiana Lions on September 7. Ramandeep Singh was central to that latest victory, scoring 85 from 35 balls and taking 2/31.

Bathinda have also shown considerable batting strength. They beat Amritsar Soormas by eight wickets under DLS conditions, lost narrowly to Fazilka Falcons and then responded by defeating Jalandhar Warriors by nine runs after posting 228/6. Gourav Choudhary’s 102 and Uday Saharan’s 83 highlighted the team’s ability to produce large totals.

The previous meeting remains an important reference point. Bathinda chased 177/9 with 180/3 in only 17.2 overs, led by Gourav Choudhary’s unbeaten 76 and Ridham Satyawan’s unbeaten 51.

The rematch is therefore not simply a contest between the points-table leader and a mid-table side. Bathinda already know how to attack this Mohali lineup, while Mohali arrive with substantially stronger recent momentum and a batting unit that has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to chase demanding totals.

Recent Form – Last 5 Matches

Mohali Kings Last 5 Matches

These are the five most recent matches available before the September 9 fixture. Mohali have won three of their last five and, importantly, all three victories have come through very different match situations. They defended 230 against Fazilka, chased 177 in a shortened game against Jalandhar and then chased 214 against Ludhiana.

Bathinda Royals Last 5 Matches

Bathinda’s five-match record is also 3-2, but their route to those results has been more volatile. They have scored 228/6 against Jalandhar and chased 105 in a rain-reduced match against Amritsar, but they also fell short by three runs against Jalandhar and were restricted to 101/4 in the DLS chase against Fazilka.

Mohali Kings Preview

Mohali Kings enter this match with the stronger overall campaign record and arguably the better current momentum. They have won three successive completed matches, with the latest two victories coming while chasing challenging targets.

Their batting is led by the combination of Anmolpreet Singh and captain Ramandeep Singh. Anmolpreet has produced two major innings already: his extraordinary 133 from 51 balls against Amritsar and 96 from 48 against Fazilka. He also scored 50 against Ludhiana in the latest match.

Ramandeep has arguably been even more influential because of his all-round role. He scored 91 not out from 35 against Jalandhar and then 85 from 35 against Ludhiana, while also contributing with the ball. His latest performance included 2/31, earning him Player of the Match honours.

This gives Mohali an important tactical advantage: they do not need to rely entirely on one specialist batter. If Anmolpreet attacks the powerplay, Ramandeep can accelerate later, while Harpreet Brar and the lower order provide additional hitting options.

The bowling picture is less straightforward. Harpreet Brar has taken eight wickets in the tournament and has provided important control in the middle overs. Ramandeep also has six wickets, although his economy rate has been high because of his attacking usage.

Mohali’s biggest weakness has been the occasional collapse. They were bowled out for only 101 against Ludhiana on September 2, and Bathinda previously exploited their bowling and chased 176 with considerable comfort.

The first meeting also exposed a matchup problem. Bathinda’s Gourav Choudhary attacked the Mohali bowlers effectively, while Ridham Satyawan provided support through the chase. If Mohali cannot dismiss the Bathinda top order early, the previous pattern could repeat.

For Mohali, the winning formula is relatively clear: attack with the new ball, prevent Uday Saharan and Gourav Choudhary from establishing a partnership, and allow Anmolpreet and Ramandeep to dictate the batting tempo.

Bathinda Royals Preview

Bathinda Royals have already demonstrated that they can beat Mohali. Their seven-wicket victory in the first meeting was convincing rather than fortunate: after Mohali reached 176/9, Bathinda chased the target in only 17.2 overs. Gourav Choudhary finished unbeaten on 76 from 45 balls and Ridham Satyawan made 51 from 39.

Gourav has remained one of Bathinda’s most important batting pieces. He scored a century against Jalandhar on September 6, making 102 from 52 balls, and currently has 188 tournament runs according to the available player-performance data. His ability to attack both pace and spin makes him especially dangerous on a batting-friendly Mohali surface.

Uday Saharan provides another major threat. He scored 60 from only 20 balls in the DLS victory over Amritsar and then produced 83 from 49 against Jalandhar. His strike rate in those innings demonstrates the level of acceleration Bathinda can generate once their top order gets settled.

Bathinda’s lower and middle order also has power. Shahbaz Singh Sandhu struck three sixes in a seven-ball 20 against Jalandhar, while their bowling group includes Ashwani Kumar, Gurnoor Brar, Ashish Lowrance and Simranjeet Singh-Gharu.

Their bowling attack has shown the ability to take wickets, but consistency remains the question. Bathinda conceded 214/4 against Fazilka and 228/6 against their own opponents in recent matches, while Mohali have demonstrated that they can score at more than ten runs per over when their leading batters are in.

The tactical priority should therefore be early wickets. If Bathinda allow Anmolpreet and Ramandeep to bat deep into the innings, defending a total at Mohali becomes difficult.

Bathinda also have psychological confidence from the first meeting. Their challenge is to reproduce the bowling discipline that restricted Mohali to 176 while avoiding the expensive spells that have contributed to high opposition totals elsewhere in the tournament.

Dream11 / Fantasy Prediction

The strongest fantasy approach is to target players with multiple routes to points and established involvement in the current tournament. Mohali offer high-value batting options through Anmolpreet Singh and Ramandeep Singh, while Bathinda provide explosive choices in Uday Saharan and Gourav Choudhary.

Ramandeep is particularly attractive because he contributes with both bat and ball and has produced 91* and 85 in two of his recent innings. Anmolpreet’s tournament record includes 133 and 96, demonstrating an unusually high ceiling.

For Bathinda, Uday and Gourav are the key fantasy targets because both have recently produced explosive innings. Their batting positions and ability to dominate once established make them valuable even if Bathinda lose.

Captain Options

1. Ramandeep Singh — Recent 91* and 85 plus bowling involvement give him multiple scoring avenues.
2. Anmolpreet Singh — His 133 and 96 demonstrate exceptional T20 scoring upside.

Vice-Captain Options

1. Gourav Choudhary — He has scored a century recently and was unbeaten on 76 in the first meeting.
2. Uday Saharan — His 60 off 20 and 83 off 49 show elite acceleration potential.

Players to Avoid

1. Lovedeep Chatha — He has been expensive recently and conceded 62 runs in four overs against Amritsar.
2. Lower-order batters without a confirmed role — Their opportunities can be limited if the top order bats through the innings.

Head-to-Head

Overall Head-to-Head Record

Last Head-to-Head Match

Only one T20 meeting between these two franchises is currently available. Bathinda won that meeting by seven wickets after chasing Mohali’s 176/9 with 180/3 in 17.2 overs.

Weather Report

The available forecast for Mohali on September 9 indicates hot conditions, around 35°C/26°C, approximately 53% humidity, only a 1% chance of rain and average wind around 8 km/h.

The low rain probability means an interruption is unlikely to materially influence the prediction. Evening humidity could become relevant later in the game, but the available forecast does not suggest a major weather-related advantage for either side.

Toss Prediction & Strategy

If Mohali Kings wins the toss

Mohali Kings should prefer bowling first.

The recent tournament pattern at this ground has shown that large totals are possible, but Mohali’s strongest recent performances have come while chasing. They successfully chased 177 against Jalandhar and 213 against Ludhiana, and their top order has demonstrated that it can maintain a high required rate.

Bowling first would also allow Mohali to target Bathinda’s dangerous top order with a clear plan before using their batting depth in the chase.

If Bathinda Royals wins the toss

Bathinda should also seriously consider bowling first.

The previous meeting gives them confidence in chasing against Mohali, while their batting has repeatedly shown the ability to score rapidly. A target would allow Uday Saharan and Gourav Choudhary to structure the chase according to the required rate.

Toss Prediction

Predicted toss winner: Mohali Kings

The toss itself cannot be forecast with confidence, but Mohali’s recent tactical success and their preference for chasing make them a reasonable marginal toss prediction.

Score Prediction

Winning Chances

Why the Win Percentage?

The first major reason for the 57-43 projection is recent momentum. Mohali have beaten Fazilka by 40 runs, Jalandhar by eight wickets and Ludhiana by four wickets in their last three completed matches.

The second is the form of Ramandeep Singh and Anmolpreet Singh. Anmolpreet’s 133 and 96 earlier in the tournament demonstrate his ceiling, while Ramandeep’s 91* and 85 in recent games show that Mohali have another batter capable of taking the match away quickly.

Bathinda’s counterargument is powerful. Gourav Choudhary has already scored a century and Uday Saharan has produced two explosive innings, including 60 from 20 balls. Their first-round victory also proves that Mohali’s attack can be put under pressure.

The prediction therefore favours Mohali primarily because of their current consistency rather than because Bathinda lack match-winning players.
