Amritsar Soormas vs Jalandhar Warriors Prediction, Match 22: Sher-e-Punjab T20 League 2026

Amritsar Soormas vs Jalandhar Warriors prediction for Match 22 of the Sher-e-Punjab T20 League 2026 is finely balanced, with both sides arriving with strong batting credentials but contrasting recent momentum. Amritsar Soormas have won their last three completed matches, including a four-wicket chase against Fazilka Falcons and a 67-run demolition of Mohali Kings. Jalandhar Warriors, meanwhile, have won four of their seven league matches and sit at the top of Group A with eight points.

Amritsar’s recent surge has been driven by their exceptional top order. Naman Dhir produced a remarkable 173 from 64 balls against Mohali Kings, while Abhishek Sharma has also contributed explosive innings throughout the competition. In the previous meeting between these sides, Abhishek scored 82 and Dhir made 117, yet Jalandhar still chased 265 with 19 balls to spare.

That earlier result remains one of the most important pieces of evidence in this fixture. Prabhsimran Singh smashed 125 from 47 balls in that match, while Anmol Malhotra added an unbeaten 53 from 23. Jalandhar’s ability to chase 264/5 in only 16.5 overs demonstrated just how dangerous their batting can be when the top order gets established.

However, the current form picture has shifted. Amritsar have responded strongly after losing their opening two matches and now have three consecutive victories, whereas Jalandhar have lost two of their last three. The Warriors remain ahead in the standings, but Amritsar’s batting momentum makes this a much more competitive rematch than the first encounter.

The match is also strategically important because the tournament is approaching the knockout stage. With all matches being played at the same Mohali venue, familiarity with the surface is high, making batting execution and death-over bowling particularly important.

Recent Form — Last 5 Matches

Amritsar Soormas Last 5 Matches

Amritsar have won three of their last five, with the most recent two victories particularly impressive. Their batting has been consistently aggressive, producing 186, 195 and 279 in three of those games. The 279/7 against Mohali was led by Naman Dhir’s extraordinary 173 from 64 balls.

Jalandhar Warriors Last 5 Matches

Form Comparison

Both teams have won four of their last five only if the current five-match windows are viewed separately: Amritsar have won three, while Jalandhar have won four. However, Amritsar’s momentum is stronger, with consecutive victories of four wickets and 67 runs, whereas Jalandhar’s latest win was a narrow seven-run defence.

Amritsar Soormas Preview

Amritsar’s campaign has changed significantly since their opening two defeats. They began with losses against Mohali Kings and Jalandhar Warriors, but have since won three of their next four matches. The latest two performances have transformed them from a struggling side into one of the tournament’s most dangerous batting teams.

The headline is Naman Dhir. His 173 from 64 balls against Mohali was an extraordinary innings containing 16 fours and 12 sixes, and it demonstrated the level of acceleration available in Amritsar’s top order. He also made 117 against Jalandhar in the first meeting, meaning the Warriors have already seen first-hand how quickly he can change a match.

Abhishek Sharma provides another major threat. He made 82 from 36 against Jalandhar and later scored 77 from 26 against Mohali in the opening match. His ability to attack during the powerplay means Jalandhar cannot afford to focus solely on Dhir.

Amritsar also have useful depth behind their marquee batters. Jashanpreet Singh produced 41 from 25 in the Mohali game, while Abhay Choudhary has provided valuable middle-order contributions, including 58 from 35 against Fazilka in the September 2 victory.

The bowling department is less dominant but has shown signs of improvement. Shubham Rana took 3/30 against Mohali, while Jaipartap Singh Johal claimed 2/46. Naman Dhir also contributed with two wickets for only eight runs from his two overs, showing the value of his part-time bowling.

The biggest tactical issue is their death bowling. Amritsar conceded 265/2 against Jalandhar in the first meeting, despite taking five wickets from their own innings. The Warriors scored 103 runs in the final 10 overs of that chase, indicating that Amritsar’s bowlers struggled to create sustained pressure once the ball became older.

Amritsar’s route to victory is therefore clear: maximise the powerplay with Abhishek, keep Dhir involved deep into the innings and use their batting depth to push beyond 190 if they bat first. With the ball, they must find a way to prevent Prabhsimran Singh from reproducing his 125-ball impact.

Jalandhar Warriors Preview

Jalandhar Warriors remain one of the strongest teams in the competition, sitting at the top of Group A with eight points from seven matches. Their four wins have included an emphatic victory over Amritsar, two victories over Ludhiana and a narrow three-run win against Bathinda.

The defining feature of Jalandhar’s campaign has been their top-order batting. Prabhsimran Singh is the key figure. He destroyed Amritsar’s bowling attack with 125 from 47 balls in the first meeting, striking at 265.96. He later scored 110 from 56 against Bathinda and 90 from 39 against Ludhiana, giving him a remarkable sequence of high-impact innings.

Harjas Singh-Tandon has also become an important second attacking option. His 94 from 45 against Bathinda helped Jalandhar reach 219/9, while he contributed 42 from 21 in the first meeting with Amritsar.

Gaurav Markan provides middle-order stability and scored 52 from 43 in the latest seven-run victory over Ludhiana. Aryan Yadav has also demonstrated utility, contributing 35 not out from 26 in that match.

Bowling is more difficult to assess because Jalandhar’s attack has been expensive at times. Against Amritsar, their main bowlers conceded at double-digit economy rates, yet they still managed to win because their batting overwhelmed the target. In the latest match, Randeep Singh was far more effective, taking 2/29 and earning Player of the Match honours.

The Warriors also possess a useful variety of bowling options. Sukhdeep Bajwa and Gurvinder Singh can provide pace and seam, while Aryan Yadav has already shown his ability to produce a match-changing spell, taking 3/9 against Ludhiana.

The concern is consistency. Jalandhar have conceded 228/6 to Bathinda and 264/5 to Amritsar, while their own batting has occasionally relied heavily on one major contribution. If Prabhsimran fails early, the pressure on Harjas and the middle order increases.

Their ideal strategy is to attack Amritsar’s bowling from the beginning. If Prabhsimran and the opening combination establish another strong platform, Jalandhar have already demonstrated that they can chase very large totals at this ground.

Head-to-Head

Last Head-to-Head Match

The only previous meeting was a high-scoring contest. Amritsar posted 264/5, with Abhishek Sharma making 82 and Naman Dhir scoring 117, but Jalandhar chased the target in only 16.5 overs. Prabhsimran Singh’s 125 from 47 was the decisive innings.

Weather Report

The India Meteorological Department forecast for Chandigarh-Mohali lists September 10 as mainly clear with a maximum around 35°C and no warning. Other forecasts indicate a low-to-moderate shower possibility, so there is some disagreement on rain risk.

The afternoon heat should favour batters once they settle. Rain does not currently appear likely enough to materially change the prediction, and dew should be less significant than in an evening match.

Broadcast Details

The Sher-e-Punjab T20 League is available live on Sony Sports Ten 5 television channels and Sony LIV for streaming. FanCode also lists live coverage of the tournament, including Match 22.

Match start: 1:00 PM IST.

Toss Prediction & Strategy

If Amritsar Soormas wins the toss

Amritsar should bat first.

Their recent batting form is exceptional, and setting a target would allow Naman Dhir and Abhishek Sharma to dictate the tempo rather than leaving their bowling attack to defend against Jalandhar’s dangerous chase-oriented batting.

A total around 190 or higher would give Amritsar a strong platform.

If Jalandhar Warriors wins the toss

Jalandhar should bowl first.

Their previous eight-wicket victory over Amritsar came while chasing 265, demonstrating confidence in their batting depth. The Warriors should again back their top order to exploit the best batting conditions before any possible late deterioration.

Toss Prediction

Predicted toss winner: Jalandhar Warriors
