Team Previews
Kakinada Kings Preview
Kakinada Kings endured a rough start but climbed to fifth place after a nail-biting one-run win over Rayalaseema Royals. They now face a do-or-die battle to keep playoff hopes alive. Their batting revolves around K P Sai Rahul (160 runs, SR 155), Pinninti Tapaswi (137 runs, SR 190), and skipper Srikar Bharat (131 runs, SR 180). Beyond this trio, consistency has been lacking, with Lekhaz Reddy needing to step up.
Bowling-wise, Midde Anjaneyulu has been outstanding, taking seven wickets at 6.59 economy. Tapaswi and Sudharsan add penetration, but the attack will need to fire in unison to stop Bhimavaram’s aggressive lineup.
Bhimavaram Bulls Preview
The Bulls have been inconsistent but enter this game slightly better placed due to net run rate. Revanth Reddy (90 runs, SR 147), Nimmala Himakar (86 runs, SR 162), and Thota Saran (80 runs, SR 157) form the batting core. Skipper Maramreddy Reddy also chips in both with bat and ball.
In bowling, Satyanarayana Raju is the star with nine wickets in four games. Support from Maramreddy (6 wickets) and pacer Harishankar Reddy makes their bowling more balanced compared to Kakinada’s. If their middle order fires, Bulls look strong favorites.

Favourite Team Today (Why)
Bhimavaram Bulls enter this clash as favorites due to a more balanced squad. Their batting unit has shown depth, with Revanth, Himakar, and Saran all in good touch. The major difference, however, lies in their bowling attack – Satyanarayana Raju has been lethal in powerplay and death overs, while Harishankar Reddy provides the pace option that the Kings lack. Kakinada’s reliance on only three batters makes them vulnerable if early wickets fall. Bulls’ ability to win crucial phases with both bat and ball makes them better equipped to handle high-pressure knockout-like scenarios.
Pitch Report
The Visakhapatnam surface is batting-friendly with even bounce. Scores around 180-190 are competitive, but spinners can come into play in the middle overs.
Weather Report
Partly cloudy skies with humidity around 65%. No major rain threat, but dew could influence the second innings.
