TEAMS PREVIEW
Mangalore Dragons Preview
Mangalore Dragons have only won one match this season – against Shivamogga Lions. They are coming off a defeat to Gulbarga Mystics where they could manage only 150-7 on the board and eventually lost the game by 5 wickets. Opener Macneil Noronha was the top-scorer for the team in that match with 32 runs in 22 balls.
Mangalore will count on their leading run-scorer, Krishnamurthy Siddharth, to perform well. Siddharth has amassed 174 runs in 5 matches at a strike rate of 150.
Nikin Jose, the team's second-best batter, is also expected to contribute. He has scored 152 runs in 5 innings at a strike rate of 120.
Opener Rohan Patil has been in good form, scoring over 100 runs at a strike rate of 150.
The bowling unit has been consistent, with multiple bowlers contributing wickets. Abhilash Shetty leads the pack with 9 wickets at an economy of 8.33. MB Darshan and Shreyas Gopal have also made valuable contributions with 8 and 4 wickets, respectively.
Mangalore Dragons Predicted Playing XI:
Rohan Patil, Macneil Hadley Noronha, Nikin Jose , Krishnamurthy Siddharth (wk), Shreyas Gopal (c), Tushar Singh, Lochan Gowda, MB Darshan, Abhilash Shetty, Paras Gurbax Arya, Pranav Bhatia

Shivamogga Lions Preview
Shivamogga Lions secured their first win of the season in their previous contest Hubli Tigers, defeating by 6 wickets. However, they need another couple of big wins to get back on track.
Shivamogga have been almost single-handedly led by Abhinav Manohar this season. The middle-order batter has amassed 329 runs – the second-most by a batter this season – at an average of 65.80 and a strike rate of 188. His breathtaking knock of 70 off 27 balls in the match against Hubli Tigers tonight helped the team easily chase down a target of 142.
Unfortunately, the others in the lineup haven’t done anything of note, with the second best batsman being Hardik Raj, with 134 runs at a strike rate of 176.31.
Their bowling hasn’t been impressive, either. HS Sharath and Anand Doddamani have been decent, but overall, the listless performance by the bowling unit has let the team down on multiple occasions this year.
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

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is a pitch that favors batters. It offers good pace and bounce, making hitting the ball in all directions easy. However, due to the many matches played here this season, the pitch is starting to wear down, making it more difficult to score runs in the middle overs. Spinners will become more effective as the match progresses. Both teams will aim for the maximum impact in the powerplay overs.
Bengaluru has been experiencing steady rainfall in recent days. Tomorrow, there is a possibility of rain and thunderstorms, which could result in a shortened match. However, the likelihood of a complete cancellation is low.

Average Turn
The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is known for producing high-scoring matches. The average score batting first here in T20s is around 160 runs. This season, the highest total recorded is 226-7 by Mysore Warriors against Mangalore Dragons. Given this trend, another high-scoring encounter is anticipated, with the team batting first and aiming for a target of 170-180 runs.
Toss: To Bowl
Bating second has yielded better results at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium this season, and we reckon both captains will be looking to chase here.
MGD vs SML
Winning Prediction
Mangalore Dragons would be disappointed with their performance this season, but they still have a chance to make an impact as they have four matches left. This is their best chance to secure a comprehensive win and get back on track. Mangalore have already beaten Shivamogga once this season, and the latter will need another special performance from Abhinav Manohar to get past the Dragons. Mangalore should be able to a relatively comfortable win here.
