SML vs MGD Betting Tips

Macneil Noronha to score Over 20.5 runs

Macneil Noronha is the leading run-scorer for Mangalore this season and is in good form. He has scored at least 21 runs in 4 of his 6 innings, including 2 half-centuries. We are therefore backing him to play a good knock here.

Mangalore Dragons total runs before fall of 1st wicket Over 21.5

Lochan Gowda and Sharath BR make up a good opening pair. The duo has scored at least 22 runs in 5 of the last 6 games, and we are backing them to give Mangalore a good start yet again.

SL vs MD Team Previews

Shivamogga Lions

The Shivamogga Lions haven’t been in the best of form this season. They are winless after 7 matches and have already been eliminated from the race to the playoffs.

The team’s latest loss came against Bengaluru Blasters, who defeated them by 7 wickets in a one-sided encounter. Shivamogga’s batting has been pretty ordinary, to say the least. Barring Aniruddha Joshi, none of the batsmen have been able to make much of an impact.

Joshi is the team’s leading run-scorer of the season and will play a vital role here. Nihal Ullal and Dhruv Prabhakar are likely to open the batting for the team and will hope to give the team a strong start. The middle order consists of Sanjay Ashwin, Aneeshwar Gautam, and Hardik Raj.

The team will expect a better performance from them if they want to win here. The bowling has been pretty ordinary as well. Vasuki Koushik is the leading wicket-taker for the team with 8 wickets. He will begin the proceedings with the new ball along with V Kaverappa.

Anand Doddamani and Hardik Raj are the two spinners who have picked 4 wickets each.

Shivamogga Lions Expected Playing 11

Aniruddha Joshi, Dhruv Prabhakar, Nihal Ullal (C & WK), Aneeshwar Gautam, Hardik Raj, Sanjay Ashwin, Bharath Dhuri, Avinash D, Anand Doddamani, Vasuki Koushik, V Kaverappa

Mangalore Dragons

After losing a couple of matches earlier this week, the Mangalore Dragons are back to winning ways as they defeated the Mysore Warriors on Thursday. The team is currently placed 3rd on the points table, and a win here will take them through to the next stage.

The opening pair of Lochan Gowda and Sharath BR has done a good job so far and will look to give Mangalore a strong start in this match. The middle order has some experienced players, including Macneil Noronha, Aadarsh Prajwal, S Shivaraj, and Thippa Reddy.

Macneil Noronha has been quite impressive and is the leading run-scorer for the team. Mangalore’s bowlers, particularly Kranthi Kumar, have been pretty impressive. Kranthi Kumar has bowled brilliantly to pick up 21 wickets and is the leading wicket-taker of the season.

He will be joined by Ronit More and S Acharya in the pace department. Shreyas Gopal and Macneil Noronha will feature in the spin attack. The duo has picked up 13 wickets between them.

Mangalore Dragons Expected Playing 11

Lochan Gowda, Sharath BR, Macneil Noronha, Aadarsh Prajwal (WK), Shreyas Gopal (C), Thippa Reddy, Aneesh KV, S Acharya, Kranthi Kumar, Ronit More, S Shivaraj

SL vs MD Toss Prediction

7 of the last 10 matches played here were won while chasing. In each of those games, the team winning the toss opted to field first, and we expect that trend to continue.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The pitch in Mysore hasn’t been the easiest to bat on. There is some moisture under the surface that helps the seamers get some movement when the ball is new, while the spinners come into action once the ball gets older. That said, once the batsmen settle down, playing shots will get easier.

Nevertheless, the bowlers will play an important role. Anything over 170 will be tricky to chase.

The weather is likely to remain overcast, and there might be some drizzle during the day.

SL vs MD: Who Will Win?

We are backing the Mangalore Dragons to win this match. They have been pretty consistent this year with a strong top order and a well-balanced bowling attack. On the other hand, the Shivamogga Lions have struggled on all fronts and will find it difficult to bounce back.

Bet on the Mangalore Dragons to win.

SL vs MD win percentage stands at 67% in favor of MD.
