Team Previews
Mangalore Dragons Preview
Mangalore Dragons have been one of the consistent sides in the tournament, sitting at 3rd position with 3 wins and 2 losses. Their batting lineup has revolved around Macneil Noronha, who has already scored 159 runs and looks solid at the top. The Dragons’ bowling department has been spearheaded by Kranthi Kumar, who leads the wicket-takers list with 17 scalps. This balance between batting and bowling makes them dangerous in the middle overs.
In their last outing, Mangalore Dragons displayed commendable fight with a well-composed batting approach and sharp bowling in crunch moments. Their middle order, led by Sharath BR and Paras Arya, has been performing consistently. With Ronit More and Shreyas Gopal adding variety in bowling, Dragons look well-prepared. However, maintaining consistency will be key if they wish to dominate the Warriors.
Mysore Warriors Preview
Mysore Warriors currently occupy the 4th position with 2 wins and 3 losses. Despite the setbacks, their batting strength is undeniable. M Venkatesh has been the standout performer with 209 runs, including a match-winning 93 in his last outing. His ability to anchor and accelerate makes him the Warriors’ trump card. Supporting him, Yashovardhan Parantap’s aggressive 48 off 24 balls showed the depth in their lineup.
On the bowling side, Colanda Ajit Karthik has been their leading wicket-taker with 6 wickets but lacks consistent support from the rest of the attack. In their previous defeat against Gulbarga Mystics, despite putting up 209 runs, their bowlers failed to defend the total. If the Warriors want to turn things around, they need their bowlers like Prasidh Krishna and Gowtham K to step up under pressure.

Favourite Team Today
Mangalore Dragons enter this contest as the favourites due to their superior balance between bat and ball. While the Warriors rely heavily on Venkatesh for runs, the Dragons have multiple contributors across batting and bowling. Their bowling unit, led by Kranthi Kumar and supported by Shreyas Gopal, offers better control in pressure situations. Dragons’ batting has shown resilience in chasing and setting up targets, which gives them a psychological advantage. Unless the Warriors’ bowlers deliver exceptionally, Mangalore Dragons hold the upper hand in this clash.
