GBM vs SML Match Prediction & Analysis
Shivamogga Lions will be up for a tough challenge as they face an in-form bowling attack from Gulbarga Mystics. Lions have also delivered well with the ball in their recent matches.
They bowled out the mighty Hubli Tigers for 141 runs and restricted Mangalore Dragons to 152 runs in the next game. V Koushik, Avinash D, and Anand Doddamani are the key wicket-taking bowlers leading the effort for Shivamogga Lions.
Gulbarga Mystics have been consistent with their performances and have delivered early breakthroughs in almost every game. In their last match, the Gulbarga bowlers reduced Bengaluru Blasters to 51 for 6 in the 8.3 Overs after choosing to bowl first.
They did the same with Mysore Warriors in the previous outing. Mystics look threatening with the ball. Can the in-form Lions’ skipper Nihal Ullal and middle-order batter Abhinan Manohar navigate Mystics’ bowling and put the Lions ahead in this contest?

TEAMS PREVIEW
Gulbarga Mystics Preview
Gulbarga Mystics are on a roll. They’ve been destroying their opposition with the ball and look very threatening at the moment. It will not be easy for the Lions to face them with only a couple of reliable and in-form batters.
Vijaykumar Vyshak and Abhishek Prabhakar are the two in-form bowlers who have delivered match-winning spells in recent wins. Prabhakar has picked up 8 wickets in his last two innings.
Praveen Dubey and Monish Reddy are others in this attack capable of delivering breakthroughs. They can get through the tail of the opposition and play a key role in the middle overs.
Smaran R is a key batter in this lineup who’s scored consistently in the middle order. The experienced Devdutt Padikkal who’s played for IPL franchises including RCB alongside Virat Kohli hasn’t lived up to his name.
He needs to find his rhythm and deliver a big start at the top. He’s not a typical T20 opener and likes to play bigger knocks. In the lower middle order, Ritesh Bhatkal and Praveen Dubey can also swing the bat for a few big sixes.
Dubey’s already shown his quick scoring ability in previous outings and can be a match-finisher for Gulbarga Mystics. Though he failed to deliver in the last match while chasing 154 runs against Bengaluru Blasters, he’s got the potential.
Gulbarga Mystics Predicted Playing XI:
Luvnith Sisodia (wk), Devdutt Padikkal (c), Smaran R, Praveen Dubey, Aneesh KV, Ritesh Bhatkal, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Wahid Faizan Khan, Yashovardhan Parantap, Monish Reddy, Abhishek Prabhakar

Shivamogga Lions Preview
Shivamogga Lions will be delighted with their recent wins. It took 6 losses before they could taste victory in the Maharaja Trophy 2024. It is a little too late for the Lions and with only two more games left, they can finish with a maximum of 8 points if they win both these matches.
The 3rd and 4th placed teams in the points table are already with 8 or more points. Skipper Nihal Ullal will be hoping that his bowlers continue their form while other batters also rise to the occasion and make some crucial contributions.
Abhinav Manohar is the only batter who’s scored consistently for the Lions. Ullal was part of a match-winning partnership with Manohar in a run-chase against Hubli Tigers.
Rohan Naveen came to the party in the next game as Manohar continued his form while Ullal was out soon. Lions can see a ray of hope in the batting lineup but if Manohar is out cheaply, they’ve got no one who can hold the fort.
There is great variety in the bowling attack and almost everyone has found success in recent outings. V Koushik, Avinash D, and Anand Doddamani are the key bowlers to watch out for. In addition, Hardik Raj is also quite handy and very economical in his spells.
Shivamogga Lions Predicted Playing XI:
Nihal Ullal (c & wk), Bharath Dhuri, Rohan Naveen, D Ashok, S Shivaraj, Hardik Raj, Dheeraj Mohan, Avinash D, Vasuki Koushik, HS Sharath, Anand Doddamani
