Mohali Kings vs Ludhiana Lions Prediction: 6th T20, Sher-E-Punjab T20 League 2026

Mohali Kings vs Ludhiana Lions prediction for Match 6 of the Sher-E-Punjab T20 League 2026 is finely balanced, with Mohali Kings having the stronger batting evidence but Ludhiana Lions entering the contest with winning momentum after a three-wicket victory over Bathinda Royals. The match is scheduled for Wednesday, September 2, 2026, at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali, starting at 1:00 PM IST.

Mohali have already played twice in the tournament. They began with an extraordinary five-wicket chase against Amritsar Soormas, reaching 262/5 after Amritsar posted 258/10. Anmolpreet Singh produced the standout performance with 133 from 51 balls, while captain Ramandeep Singh finished the chase with 69 from 40.

The Kings then lost their second match to Bathinda Royals by seven wickets. Mohali made 176/9, but Bathinda chased the target in only 17.2 overs, with Gourav Choudhury scoring 76 from 45 balls. That defeat exposed some weaknesses in Mohali’s bowling control despite their outstanding batting performance in the opening match.

Ludhiana, meanwhile, began their campaign on September 1 with a three-wicket victory over Bathinda. They restricted Bathinda to 165 before chasing the target in 18.4 overs. Arjun Rajput was the match-winner, taking 4/27 and then scoring 82 from 45 balls, while Krish Bhagat added an unbeaten 35 from 19.

The result puts both sides at one win, but Mohali have played one additional match. The contest therefore offers an interesting contrast: Mohali possess the tournament’s leading run-scorer in Anmolpreet Singh, while Ludhiana have immediately demonstrated that their bowling attack and middle order can recover from difficult positions.

Match Details

Mohali Kings Preview

Mohali Kings have already produced one of the tournament’s most explosive batting performances. Their 262/5 against Amritsar came after chasing 259, and Anmolpreet Singh’s 133 from 51 balls completely changed the expected structure of the chase. Ramandeep Singh then provided the finishing stability with 69 from 40.

The concern is that their second match showed how quickly that batting advantage can disappear. Against Bathinda, Mohali were reduced to 34/3 before Aryan Bhatia and Ramandeep Singh rebuilt the innings. Harpreet Brar’s late 39 from 23 pushed the total to 176/9, but Bathinda reached the target comfortably.

Powerplay

Mohali’s biggest batting weapon is their ability to destroy the powerplay when Anmolpreet Singh gets going. His 133 included 12 sixes and 10 fours, and he scored at more than 260, demonstrating how quickly Mohali can move from a normal powerplay position into a match-winning one.

But his dismissal against Bathinda after only eight runs exposed the other side of the equation. If Ludhiana remove Anmolpreet early, Mohali will need Ramandeep Singh, Harpreet Brar and their middle order to construct the innings rather than simply attack.

Middle Overs

Ramandeep Singh is central to Mohali’s middle-over structure. His 69 against Amritsar showed that he can combine strike rotation with boundary hitting, while his 24 against Bathinda was not enough to compensate for the early wickets.

Harpreet Brar offers an important dual-role option. He has already contributed with both bat and ball, including 23 from eight balls against Amritsar and 39 from 23 against Bathinda. His left-arm orthodox bowling also gives captain Ramandeep a way to attack the middle overs.

Death Overs

Mohali’s first match demonstrated outstanding finishing power. They scored 64 runs in the final five overs of the chase against Amritsar and reached 262/5 with three balls remaining.

Against Ludhiana, the key will be entering the last five overs with wickets in hand. The Lions’ attack includes Arjun Rajput, Sahil Bhaskar and Arshdeep Singh, so Mohali cannot assume that another late assault will automatically materialise.

Bowling

Bowling is Mohali’s less convincing area so far. They conceded 258 to Amritsar before winning the chase, and Bathinda subsequently reached 181/3 in only 17.2 overs against them.

Tejpreet Singh took 3/38 against Amritsar, while Harpreet Brar claimed two wickets. However, the overall economy rates were high because Amritsar’s top order attacked from the beginning.

Tactical Approach

Mohali should attack Ludhiana’s top order with pace before bringing Harpreet Brar into the middle overs. With the bat, their strategy should revolve around maximizing Anmolpreet Singh’s powerplay impact without becoming overly dependent on one player.

If Mohali reach 190-plus, their batting strength gives them a strong chance. If they concede another 180-plus total, Ludhiana’s confidence in the chase makes the contest much closer.

Ludhiana Lions Preview

Ludhiana could hardly have asked for a more dramatic start to their campaign. They were reduced to 29/4 against Bathinda, then recovered to chase 166 with seven wickets remaining. Arjun Rajput’s 82 from 45 balls was the defining innings, but Krish Bhagat’s unbeaten 35 from 19 was equally important in completing the chase.

The Lions also produced the better bowling performance of the two teams’ most recent matches. They dismissed Bathinda for 165, with Arjun Rajput taking 4/27 and Sahil Bhaskar adding 3/25.

Powerplay

Ludhiana’s batting powerplay against Bathinda was poor. They lost four wickets inside the first four overs and reached only 29 before Abhijeet Garg began rebuilding.

That is a major warning sign against Mohali because Anmolpreet Singh has already shown what can happen when an opposition allows an innings to start aggressively. Ludhiana need to avoid another early collapse, particularly because Mohali have several seam-bowling options.

Middle Overs

This is where Ludhiana’s first match became impressive. Arjun Rajput and Krish Bhagat constructed a crucial partnership after the Lions were 81/5. Their 50-run partnership came from only 34 balls and shifted the match back in Ludhiana’s favour.

Rajput’s innings included eight fours and four sixes, while Bhagat struck at 184.21. That combination of controlled rebuilding and aggressive strokeplay gives Ludhiana a credible middle-order response if Mohali’s bowlers strike early.

Death Overs

Ludhiana finished their chase at 169/7 in 18.4 overs, with Krish Bhagat hitting the winning six from Sumit Sharma’s bowling.

The Lions therefore enter the match with evidence that they can finish a chase under pressure. However, their lower order was still exposed after Madhav Pathania’s dismissal, so the top six need to carry a significant portion of the scoring responsibility.

Bowling

Bowling is arguably Ludhiana’s strongest current department. Arjun Rajput’s 4/27 was supported by Sahil Bhaskar’s 3/25 and useful spells from Kartik Chadha and Madhav Pathania.

The major question is how this attack handles Anmolpreet Singh. If Ludhiana can remove him cheaply, the balance of the match changes substantially.

Arshdeep Singh is another obvious tactical asset. The India left-arm pacer is Ludhiana’s marquee player and captain, giving the Lions a high-level new-ball and death-overs option.

Tactical Approach

Ludhiana should attack the powerplay with Arshdeep Singh and their other seam options, specifically targeting Anmolpreet Singh. With the bat, they need a more stable first six overs than they produced against Bathinda.

If Ludhiana can keep Mohali below 180, their bowling depth and current confidence make them very competitive. If Mohali cross 195, the Lions’ batting will face a much tougher test.

2. Anmolpreet Singh — His 133 from 51 balls establishes an exceptional fantasy ceiling.

Weather Report — Mohali

Forecasts for September 2 differ somewhat in detail, but they broadly indicate a warm day with temperatures around 24–32°C and a possibility of showers. A local forecast source lists cloudy conditions with showers, while another forecast model gives a fairer outlook and a temperature reaching approximately 101°F/38°C later in the day.

Because the match starts at 1:00 PM, any rain interruption would have the potential to affect the middle or latter stages of the game. Dew should be less influential than in an evening fixture because most of the match will be completed during daylight.

Broadcast Details

The Sher-E-Punjab T20 League 2026 is being televised on Sony Sports Ten 5 HD and Sony Sports Ten 5 SD, with live streaming on Sony LIV. The match begins at 1:00 PM IST on September 2.

Toss Prediction & Strategy

If Mohali Kings win the toss

Mohali should prefer to bowl first.

The broader venue sample shows a 60% chase-win rate, and the current league has already produced multiple successful chases. Mohali also have an obvious incentive to exploit the new ball before Ludhiana’s middle order settles.

If Ludhiana are restricted below 175, Mohali’s batting depth gives them a strong opportunity to chase.

If Ludhiana Lions win the toss

Ludhiana should also consider bowling first.

Their most recent victory came while chasing 166, and their bowling attack was particularly effective at taking early wickets. Bowling first would allow Arshdeep Singh and the other seamers to attack Anmolpreet Singh before Mohali can establish a platform.

The downside is that Mohali have already demonstrated that a huge chase is possible at this venue, so Ludhiana must avoid allowing 190-plus.

Toss Prediction

Predicted toss winner: Mohali Kings

The toss itself is a 50-50 event; this is simply the editorial prediction. If Mohali win it, the preferred tactical choice is to bowl first.

Score Prediction

Winning Chances

Why the Win Percentage?

The biggest reason for Mohali’s narrow edge is Anmolpreet Singh’s batting ceiling. A 133 off 51 means the Kings have already demonstrated the ability to win a game almost single-handedly through a powerplay-to-death batting assault.

The second reason is venue familiarity and Mohali’s broader batting depth. They have already played two matches at this ground and know how quickly totals can rise here.

Ludhiana’s counterargument is their bowling. They dismissed Bathinda for 165 and then survived a four-wicket collapse to win, showing greater resilience than their scorecard initially suggests.

Arjun Rajput is the biggest variable. His four wickets and 82-run innings mean Ludhiana have an all-rounder capable of changing the game in two disciplines.
