MW vs SML Match Prediction & Analysis
Mysore Warriors will take on Shivamogga Lions as they look for their 5th straight win. The two teams are on contrasting trajectories in this tournament. Warriors started with two losses in their first two matches and have won everything since then.
Shivamogga Lions, on the other hand, won their first 3 matches of the season and have lost 3 games on the trot since then. Mysore Warriors successfully defended a 190-run total in their last encounter against Shivamogga Lions.
The Lions finished with 178 for 9 in that run chase. Since then, their batting has been on a decline as they scored 138 for 8 and 121 all out in their next two games.
Warriors are coming here on the back of a huge win in their last game. A brilliant batting performance led them to a 6-wicket win over Hubli Tigers chasing a 186-run target.
Samarth R and Karun Nair are back in form in the top order and that’s big news for the Warriors. The Lions’ middle order is their best hope to help them return to winning ways. There isn’t anyone reliable and consistent in their batting lineup at the moment.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Mysore Warriors Preview
Mysore Warriors have been exceptional with the bat in recent games. They’ve won back-to-back matches and will be keen on taking their lead against Shivamogga Lions 2-0 with a win here.
They’ve managed to score 180+ in each of their last 3 innings. After their win over the Lions, while defending 190 runs, Mysore Warriors faced a few setbacks early in the innings against Bengaluru Blasters batting first.
Karthik CA led the fightback along with lower order batters Manoj Bhadange and J Suchith who helped finish on a high as Warriors posted 187 runs.
And now with R Samarth and skipper Karun Nair also back in form, Mysore Warriors will be confident as they face the Lions once again.
In the recent game, the Warriors replaced their lower-middle order batters with Shoaib Manager and Shivkumar Rakshtih at 5 and 6. These two came to the crease after Mysore had lost 3 wickets in an over and needed 43 more runs to win from 38 balls.
They struck an unbeaten partnership and finished the job with 7 balls to spare. CA Karthik and Jagdeesh Suchith will pose a tough challenge to a struggling Lions’ batting order. Shreesha Achar is another bowler to watch out for in this Mysore setup.
Mysore Warriors Predicted Playing XI:
Ravikumar Samarth, Codanda Ajit Karthik, Karun Nair (c), Shivkumar Rakshith (wk), Manoj Bhandage, Jagadeesha Suchith, Muralidhara Venkatesh, Monish Reddy, Shashi Kumar K, Shreesha Achar, Shoaib Manager, Lankesh KS

Shivamogga Lions Preview
It has been a bumpy ride for the Lions with back-to-back losses after a winning start to the season.
The opposition has just defeated Hubli Tigers who were unbeaten in this season thus far. The Lions have a big challenge on their hands, especially with an out-of-form batting lineup.
Rohan Naveen and Rohit Kumar K look promising at 3 and 4 but need to do a lot more than their recent performance to get the Lions to a competitive total. They were impressive with their strike rates but at the moment, Lions need them to build crucial partnerships in the middle.
Abhinav Manohar and skipper Shreyas Gopal are struggling to find their touch in the lower middle order. Manohar and Gopal looked in good touch a few games ago but they haven’t quite found their form yet.
It cannot be left to the lower middle order since there are no proper finishers in this side. And hence, the job belongs to the top and middle order to get the Lions to a competitive score. And this looks like quite an impossible task unless the openers also start making significant contributions.
Vasuki Kaushi, Shreyas Gopal, and Pranav Bhatia will be the key bowlers in this side. Though they haven’t been very successful, they are the most promising at the moment.
Shivamogga Lions Predicted Playing XI:
Rohan Kadam, Nihal Ullal (wk), Rohan Naveen, Rohit Kumar K, Shreyas Gopal (c), Abhinav Manohar, Kranthi Kumar, Pranav Bhatia, S Shivaraj, HS Sharath, Vasuki Koushik

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
It is a belter of a pitch and even though Lions failed to make a mark in the last game, the pitch has been batting-friendly throughout. Gulbarga Mystics chased down the 122-run target against Lions in just 12.4 Overs with 9 wickets in hand in the last game. The weather will be partly cloudy with a high of 31 degrees Celsius in Bengaluru.
MW vs SML Pitch Report
M. Chinnawaswamy Stadium is the venue for this match and the average 1st innings score here in T20s is 166 runs. The team batting first should be looking at something over 185 runs to have a good chance of winning this match. Though nothing under 200 is safe at this venue, 185-195 will be a competitive 1st innings score.
Toss: To Bowl
It is a chasing venue and most teams winning the toss are opting to bowl first. Shivamogga Lions have been struggling to put a decent 1st innings score on the board and would be looking to try to chase for a change. Warriors, high on their momentum after a successful run chase would have an obvious choice of bowling first.
MW vs SML
Winning Prediction
Mysore Warriors have the momentum on their side while Shivamogga Lions have a huge task on their hands. There are issues in every department for the Lions to address while Mysore Warriors are moving from strength to strength. The lack of in-form and reliable players in the batting lineup puts Shivamogga Lions on the back foot. Overall, the Warriors come out as the superior side in our match prediction and hence, will start as our favorites.
