MW vs HT Match Prediction & Analysis
Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 2024 has reached the business end. Mysore Warriors and Hubli Tigers will lock horns in the 2nd semi-final at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
While the Warriors have the winning momentum, the Hubli Tigers are coming here with two consecutive losses. The batting inconsistencies will be a major concern for the Tigers.
The last time these two teams met, the Warriors posted a 191-run total and bowled out Hubli Tigers for just 117 runs. Though the Tigers bounced back in the next match with a 179-run score batting first, they still ended up losing that match by 4 wickets.
There are some promising, quality bowlers in the Hubli squad but they haven’t been consistent with their performances. Warriors have their skipper Karun Nair in great touch at number 3 along with the opener SU Karthik.
The two have led their batting efforts in recent matches and are key to a big total for Mysore. KC Cariappa and Vidwath Kaverappa are the key bowlers for Hubli Tigers with the ability to turn the game on its head.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Mysore Warriors Preview
Mysore Warriors are in red-hot form and will be looking to make it 2-0 against the Hubli Tigers. The opposition has been inconsistent and this presents a great opportunity for the Warriors.
SU Karthik, Karthik CA, and Karun Nair are the key batters in the top order. They’ve been in good form as well with the skipper scoring consecutive fifties in his last 2 innings.
Though there are some promising batters lower down the order like Manoj Bhandage and Jagdeesha Suchit, the key to a good score lies with the top order. If the top 3 are out cheaply, the Warriors are likely to end up with a low total.
Even if Nair is in fine touch and is delivering impactful knocks at number 3, as the captain, he will expect Bhandage and Sumit Kumar to step up and build partnerships in the middle.
Jagdeesha Suchith can add the finishing touches at the death but if he arrives earlier at the crease, the Warriors won’t finish with a good score on the board. In the bowling department, there is a great variety for the skipper to choose from.
Karthik CA is a consistent wicket-taker to watch out for. Jagdeesha Suchith and Krishnappa Gowtham are other experienced bowlers who can deliver crucial breakthroughs for the side.
Mysore Warriors Predicted Playing XI:
Codanda Ajit Karthik, Karun Nair (c), Srinivas Sharath, Harshil Dharmani, Sumit Kumar (wk), Jagadeesha Suchith, Krishnappa Gowtham, Manoj Bhandage, Smayan Srivastava, Dhanush Gowda, Deepak Devadiga

Hubli Tigers Preview
Hubli Tigers are in great trouble. They’ve been very inconsistent with their batting returns and need to find their form in this match. It is now or never and if they don’t bounce back here, they will not reach the final.
Manvanth Kumar L needs to step up and contribute with the ball. He’s a key player who’s lost his form. Tigers have a quality attack with the likes of Cariappa and Kaverappa who’ve delivered great breakthroughs in the recent past.
However, considering the pitch conditions, the Tigers need to get their batters to take a more proactive approach to their game. Krishnan Shrijith scored an unbeaten 100 in the last outing at number 3.
And yet, the Tigers finished with 179 runs on the board. Mohammad Taha is a key batter at the top and is known for his big-hitting ability. But he failed to convert his start in the last match.
In the middle-order, Aneeshwar Gautham is another quality batsman to watch out for. He scored an unbeaten 95 runs against Mangalore Dragons at number 4 while Shrijith made 77, taking the team total beyond 200 runs.
There are quality batters and bowlers in this team. On their best day, the Hubli Tigers can beat any side in this tournament. They have one of the most balanced overall teams in the Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20.
Manish Pandey, the skipper, struggled to score runs and has now finally moved himself lower down the order. He’s got plenty of experience and if he gets going, he can single-handedly change the course of the match.
Hubli Tigers Predicted Playing XI:
Mohammed Taha, Kruthik Krishna, Krishnan Shrijith (wk), Manish Pandey (c), Aneeshwar Gautam, Manvanth Kumar L, Karthikeya KP, Rishi Bopanna, KC Cariappa, Nishchith Pai, Madhav Prakash Bajaj

Average Turn
The pitch looks much better to bat on now than before. There should be plenty of help for the batters with even bounce and carry. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 matches is 168 runs but looking at the recent matches played at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, we reckon the team batting first will need at least 190 or more to be in a winning position.
Toss: To Bowl
Teams bowling first have won 4 of the last 5 matches in the Maharaja Trophy. The recent matches saw teams chasing down 175+ totals. The pitch has turned friendlier for batting and chasing now seems like a great choice.
MW vs HT
Winning Prediction
This should be a close contest. Though the Tigers have lost their last two matches, they pack a strong overall squad with quality players in both departments. Mysore Warriors are in great shape and have the momentum on their side. Based on the current form of key players, the Warriors are ahead in this contest and will start as favorites in our match prediction.
