SL vs BB Team Previews

Shivamogga Lions

Shivamogga Lions lost their last game in the competition against Mangalore Lions by a margin of 29 runs. After two consecutive losses, Shivamogga Lions are parked right at the bottom of the point table. They do not have a single point to their credit and have the worst net run rate in the competition of -1.450.

V Koushik was the top bowler in their last match with a three-wicket haul, giving away just 23 runs. Hardik Raj also picked up two wickets for 28 runs from his four overs. Rohit Kumar K led the Shivamogga batting charge in this game during the chase with 62 from 51 balls.

The fact that will worry the team management apart from their two losses in a row would be the batting performance of their top order. Both their openers, Dhruv Prabhakar and Nihal Ullal, fell cheaply.

Other middle-order batters such as Aneeshwar Gautam and Aniruddha Johi failed to make a substantial contribution. The middle overs were saved by Rohit Kumar, who hit three sixes in his effort. Even though Tushar Singh hit some big blows towards the end of the Shivamogga innings, it was all too late.

Shivamogga Lions Expected Playing 11

Dhruv Prabhakar, Nihal Ullal (c & wk), Hardik Raj, Rohit Kumar K, Aneeshwar Gautam, Aniruddha Joshi, Avinash D, Bharath Dhuri, Vasuki Koushik, Vidhwath Kaverappa, Anand Doddamani.

Bengaluru Blasters

The batting of LR Chetan was a revelation for Bengaluru in their last game against Gulbarga Mystics. He single-handedly held the innings together to take Bengaluru to their first victory of the season. The Bengaluru bowlers did a fabulous job in their last contest against Gulbarga Mystics.

They restricted the opposition to a paltry score of 112 runs and bowled them out in 19.5 overs. The best bowlers on the scene for Bengaluru in this contest were Mohsin Khan, Vidyadhar Patil, Rohan Naveen, and the skipper, Shubhang Hedge, with two wickets each.

This terrific restriction job from their bowlers might not have been fruitful except for a fantastic innings near the top of their batting order by LR Chetan. He scored 75 runs from 48 balls with three sixes and ten fours to hold the innings together when it looked as if they were going to experience another batting collapse after the early loss of wickets.

Blasters will be expecting another good batting effort from Chetan. The only other batter to reach double figures for Bengaluru was Rohan Naveen.

Bengaluru Blasters Expected Playing 11

LR Chethan, Rohan Patil, Suraj Ahuja (wk), Siddharth Akhil, Shubhang Hegde (c), Naveen MG, Mohsin Khan, Rohan Naveen, Prateek Jain, Vidyadhar Patil, Vaibhav Sharma A.

SL vs BB Toss Prediction

The record of games played at this venue indicates that the teams chasing targets have won more regularly. But the track conditions will also be better initially. Any team batting first will look to score at least 170 to 180 runs to be at par. However, sticking to the normal trend, winning the toss and batting second will be on the mind of the skipper winning the coin flip.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

We have already seen one of the teams score over 200 runs while batting first. And their opposition nearly chased down this formidable target. Therefore, there are runs on offer at this venue. However, stroke play will become increasingly complex with the pitch losing its pace and bounce in the second innings. There is a distinct possibility of getting showers during this contest.

We might get the D/L equation coming into play.

SL vs BB: Who Will Win?

The resounding victory in their last game over Gulbarga Mystics was the first win for Bengaluru this season. Their remarkable bowling effort must have warmed the hearts of the Bengaluru management. They will be keen to move up the points table with another win in this contest over Shivamogga Lions. Lions appear to be in a rut at the moment, and it might be tough for them to re-gather themselves for their first win of the season.

Bet on Bengaluru Blasters to win.

SL vs BB win percentage stands at 54% in favor of BB.
