TEAMS PREVIEW

Mysore Warriors Preview

Karun Nair's side went down against the Mangalore Dragons by 5 wickets in the last game. It has been contrasting losses for the side. Their batting failed in the first game, and their bowlers failed to execute their plans in the last. They can't afford any more losses, and Nair must lead from the front and do well in this game.  

Ravikumar Samarth and Codanda Ajit Karthik batted well in the last game, and they will look to put up a good performance. Nair proved his brilliance with an electrifying knock, and he must bowl good lines with Rahul Rawat and Tushar Singh. They will expect quick runs from Manoj Bhandage and Jagadeesha Suchith in the lower middle order.  

Their bowling attack failed miserably in the last game, and they will need good spells from Muralidhara Venkatesh and Ajit Karthik with the new ball. Ravikumar Samarth, Monish Reddy, and Suchith must bowl good spells in the middle overs. Shreesha Achar and Bhandage must bowl good lines here.

Mysore Warriors Predicted Playing XI:

Karun Nair (c), Ravikumar Samarth, Codanda Ajit Karthik, Rahul Rawat, Tushar Singh, Shivkumar Rakshith (wk), Manoj Bhandage, Jagadeesha Suchith, Shreesha Achar, Muralidhara Venkatesh, Monish Reddy

Mysore Warriors Actual Playing XI:

Shashi Kumar K, C A Karthik, Venkatesh Muralidhara, Monish Reddy, Karun Nair, Ravikumar Samarth, Shivkumar Rakshith, Tushar Singh, Rahul Rawat, Manoj Bhandage, Jagadeesha Suchith

Gulbarga Mystics Preview

Vijaykumar Vyshak's side went down by 7 wickets in their last game against the Hubli Tigers. The side felt the absence of skipper and the best batsman Devdutt Padikkal as everyone in the top order failed to convert their starts. They face a tough opponent in this game, and Vyshak would expect the players to approach it confidently.  

The side will need a good start from Aadarsh Prajwal and LR Chethan, as they are the mainstay of this batting line-up. In the middle order, they will need partnerships between Aneesh KV, Smaran R, and Amit Verma and aim to score against the Warriors' attack that has been in the best form. Macneil Hadley Noronha and  Avinash D will look to do well in the finishers' role.  

Abhilash Shetty and Vijaykumar Vyshak have looked good with the new ball in both games, and the side will have big expectations from the pair. Avinash D and Noronha must bowl better lines in this game, as the Warriors have a strong batting line-up. KP Appanna, Sharan Goud, Noronha, and Verma add variety to this attack.

Gulbarga Mystics Predicted Playing XI:

Vijaykumar Vyshak (c), LR Chethan, Aadarsh Prajwal (wk), Aneesh KV, Smaran R, Amit Verma, Macneil Hadley Noronha, Sourabh Muttur, Avinash D, Sharan Goud, Abhilash Shetty

Gulbarga Mystics Actual Playing XI:

Vyshak Vijaykumar, Hardik Raj, Abhilash Shetty, Macneil Noronha, KP Appanna, KV Aneesh, LR Chethan, Amit Verma, D Avinash, Aadarsh Prajwal, Smaran R
