Team Previews
Hubli Tigers Previews
The Tigers have started their campaign in roaring form. Mohammed Taha has been the standout star, scoring back-to-back centuries at a staggering strike rate nearing 190, making him the most feared batsman in the league so far. Devdutt Padikkal’s presence at the top adds class and stability, while Abhinav Manohar and Shivkumar Rakshith provide middle-order firepower. On the bowling front, KC Cariappa has been the leader, bowling with precision and picking up wickets in key moments. Yash Raj Punja and Ritesh Bhatkal have supported well, though they will look to tighten their economy rates. Hubli’s ability to chase big totals — as seen in their last-ball win chasing 226 — shows they have the nerve for high-pressure situations.
Mangalore Dragons Previews
The Dragons have been equally impressive, led by BR Sharath’s aggressive batting. His 86 runs in two innings at a strike rate over 190 have set the tone. Lochan Gowda and Macneil Noronha have been steady contributors, while Aneesh KV has chipped in during crucial moments. Their bowling is spearheaded by Kranthi Kumar, who already has 8 wickets in two matches, supported by experienced spinner Shreyas Gopal and pacer Santokh Singh. Mangalore’s batting depth and varied bowling attack give them balance, but they will need to overcome Hubli’s aggressive top order.

Favourite Team in Today’s Match (Why)
Hubli Tigers enter this contest as favourites due to their explosive batting form and recent chasing heroics. Their ability to handle pressure and maintain a high run rate even in difficult situations has set them apart. Taha’s purple patch, combined with Padikkal’s consistency and the bowling control from KC Cariappa, gives them a strong edge. Moreover, their last-ball win against a big total has boosted team confidence significantly. If their top order fires again, Mangalore’s bowlers will have a tough time containing the run flow.
