SL vs HT Team Previews

Shivamogga Lions

Shivamogga Lions have had a wretched time in this year's Maharaja Trophy. They could manage just a single win in their nine games in the competition. Even though they did win a last-ball thriller against Mysore Warriors, they are out of contention for a place in the play-offs.

By beating the Mysore team, they have dashed any hopes Mysore had harbored for a place in the next stage of the competition. Lions ended up getting three points and are languishing right at the bottom of the points table.

In their last game in the league, Mysore batted first to raise a score of 180 runs for the loss of six wickets in their twenty overs. The top bowlers for Shivamogga in this contest were Dhruv Prabhakar and MB Darshan. They both picked up two wickets each. Hardik Raj and Anand Doddamani also picked up one wicket each.

After a couple of quick wickets during the chase, things appeared to be heading for the usual scenario for the Lions. However, first it was Aneeshwar Gautam and then Rohit Kumar K kept things alive, only to have Avinash D providing the flourish towards the end to take Lions to an unexpected win over Mysore.

Shivamogga Lions Expected Playing 11

Dhruv Prabhakar, Nihal Ullal (c & wk), Tushar Singh, Aneeshwar Gautam, Bharath Dhuri, Hardik Raj, Avinash D, Rohit Kumar K, MB Darshan, Vidhwath Kaverappa, Anand Doddamani.

Hubli Tigers

Hubli Tigers have had a good time in the competition so far. They have played nine contests and have won six of them. They lost three contests, and as a result of this performance, they have collected twelve points so far in the league. They have a net run rate of +0.619.

This is the last game for them in the league phase of the competition. They are going into this contest on the back of two wins on the trot against Gulbarga Mystics and Mysore Warriors. They have already qualified for the playoffs.

In their last contest against Mysore Warriors, Hubli Tigers restricted their opponents to 129 runs for the loss of eight wickets in their twenty overs. The pacer Shreesha Achar was the top bowler for Hubli in this encounter, picking up three victims for just 11 runs in his four overs.

He was well-aided by Yash Raj Punja, who picked up two wickets for 19 runs in his four overs. Although Hubli lost some early wickets, their in-form batters Karthikeya KP and the skipper Devdatt Padikkal ensured that there was no drama towards the end of the game.

Hubli Tigers Expected Playing 11

Mohammed Taha, Devdutt Padikkal (c), Karthikeya KP, Abhinav Manohar, Shivkumar Rakshith (wk), Manvanth Kumar L, Ritesh Bhatkal, KC Cariappa, Sanjay Kumar Sihag, Shreesha Achar, Yash Raj Punja.

SL vs HT Toss Prediction

This wicket at the Srikantadatta Narasimha Raja Wadeyar Ground has fundamentally been conducive for batters. Batters have enjoyed the conditions more this season, as we saw several scores in excess of 200 runs achieved here. So, it might be a good idea for the skipper to field first after winning the coin flip.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The batting-friendly conditions on offer at this venue indicate yet another high-scoring affair here. We have observed very few low-scoring games on this track. Spinners might be able to exploit the pitch in the later stages of the competition. The conditions are expected to be wet once again as showers are expected during this encounter.

SL vs HT: Who Will Win?

Shivamogga Lions have had an entirely forgettable season. They have failed to register a single victory thus far and are out of contention for a place in the playoffs. Hubli Tigers, on the other hand, have done exceptionally well and have already made it to the next round of the tournament.

Bet on the Hubli Tigers to win.

SL vs HT win percentage stands at 68% in favor of HT.
