HT vs SL Team Previews

Hubli Tigers

The Hubli outfit did well last year when they finished the league stages in 3rd position with six victories. They lost in the semi-final to Mysore Warriors. Some fresh faces have been added to the team this year, such as Abhinav Manohar. He was in terrific form last year, hitting 507 runs from ten games with a strike rate of 196.51. He is a dangerous customer for any bowling attack.

The presence of Devdatta Padikkal in the batting order adds another dimension to the line-up. He has both the patience and power to switch gears if required.

Other significant batters in this line-up include Shrijith Krishnan and Mohammad Taha. Both these batters are capable of lifting the scoring rate. Manvanth Kumar will spearhead the Hubli bowling attack. He ended up in the second spot in the bowling charts last year. Kumar picked up 15 victims from his last ten contests with an economy rate of 9.80.

He can also accelerate the scoring rate with his batting in the lower order. Some other crucial players in this line-up are Nischith Pai and KC Cariappa.

Hubli Tigers Expected Playing 11

Abhinav Manohar, Devdutt Padikkal, Prakhar Chaturvedi, Karthikeya KP, Shrijith Krishnan (wk), Mohammed Taha, Manvanth Kumar, Nischith Pai, KC Cariappa, Shreesha Achar, Yash Punja.

Shivamogga Lions

The last season for Shivamogga Lions proved to be a complete disaster. They could manage just three victories from ten games and ended the league stages of the competition one place above the bottom. They have revamped the side for this season and will be keen for a better all-round performance.

One of the critical batters for the Lions this season will be Aneeshwar Gautam. He did a reasonable job last year amid a disastrous season with 211 runs in nine games with a strike rate of 134.39.

There are some good all-rounders in the outfit, such as Hardik Raj, Sahil Sharma, and Anirudha Joshi. They add depth to the batting order together with Tushar Singh. There is a good variety in the bowling attack this year, with reliable bowlers such as Deepak Devadiga and Vidwath Kaverappa in the ranks.

Hardik Raj is also a capable bowler with the capability to pick up vital wickets. The experienced MB Darshan is a crucial player on this side. He did a decent job last year, picking up nine victims from eight games.

Shivamogga Lions Expected Playing 11

Aneeshwar Gautam, Anirudha Joshi, Sahil Sharma, Tushar Singh, Nihal Ullal (wk), Vidwath Kaverappa, Deepak Devadiga, MB Darshan, Maribasava Chandrashekhar Gowda, Rohit Kumar K. Mohammad Ashfaq.

HT vs SL Toss Prediction

The teams batting first have managed 160 to 180 runs on the Mysore venue. It might be a better idea to field first after winning the coin flip at this venue. A score of over 180 runs will place the team in a good position while batting first. However, teams batting second have won more games at this ground.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

Batters are more likely to enjoy the conditions at this venue. The track offers even bounce and fast outfield. There will be some lateral movement available for the seamers in the earlier part of the contest. However, the surface will ease out into a batting paradise gradually.

There is a possibility of getting showers during this contest. This can alter the course of the contest.

HT vs SL: Who Will Win?

Both these teams have acquired a good side for this year's competition. Both teams appear strong at a casual glance. Hubli Tigers seem to be a bit more potent with a more balanced team. A stronger batting lineup and a better balanced team overall should help the Hubli Tigers start with a win.

Bet on Hubli Tigers to win.

HT vs SL win percentage stands at 52% in favor of HT.
