TEAMS PREVIEW
Shivamogga Lions Preview
Shivamogga Lions need to quickly pick themselves up or the season will run away from them. They have lost each of their first games and have plenty of things to work on.
The Lions’ batting unit hasn’t really fired collectively. Abhinav Manohar tops the charts with 141 runs in 3 innings at a strike rate of almost 200. He has been dismissed only once this season and has slammed two fifties.
Hardik Raj showed signs of brilliance in the previous match with a sparkling knock of 69 off 33 balls against Bengaluru Blasters.
The likes of Dhruv Prabhakar, Nihal Ullal, and Rohit K will need to step up big time if the Lions hope to challenge the Tigers.
On the bowling front, Anand Doddamani and Hardik Raj have impressed the most, taking 3 wickets each.
Shivamogga Lions Predicted Playing XI:
Rohit K, Nihal Ullal (c & wk), Dhruv Prabhakar, Avinash D, Abhinav Manohar, S Shivaraj, Hardik Raj, Rajvir Wadhwa, Bharath Dhuri, Vasuki Koushik, Anand Doddamani

Hubli Tigers Preview
Hubli Tigers are on a terrific winning spree and are coming off an impressive five-wicket win against Bengaluru Blasters. This was their third win on the trot and the Tigers will now be aiming to make it four in a row.
The Tigers’ batting lineup is stacked with talent. The vastly experienced Manish Pandey has already looked fluent and we expect him to make an impact in this match too.
Krishnan Shrijith and Mohammed Taha are the other two batters we are backing to do well here. Shrijith is currently the team’s leading run-getter, with 92 runs in 3 innings at a strike rate of 130.
Leading the bowling attack, LR Kumar has been exceptional, capturing 7 wickets in 3 innings at an economy of 8.70. Vidhwath Kaverappa follows closely with 5 wickets from 3 innings, maintaining an economy of 7.11. These two bowlers have utilized this flat surface smartly and give Hubli Tigers an edge over the opposition.
HBT Over/Under Betting Tips
The Shivamogga Lions have averaged eight fours per game, while the Hubli Tigers have averaged 10. With a strong batting lineup that relies heavily on boundaries, the Tigers are expected to hit more fours than the Lions.
KL Shrijith has scored 51 and 41 runs in his two innings in the Maharaja Cup so far. A top-order batsman and one of the most consistent run-scorers, we back him to score over 21.5 runs against the Shivamogga Lions based on his recent performances.
Hubli Tigers Predicted Playing XI:
Mohammed Taha, Krishnan Shrijith (wk), Manish Pandey (c), Aneeshwar Gautam, Karthikeya KP, Manvanth Kumar L, LR Kumar, KC Cariappa, Vidhwath Kaverappa, Mitrakanth Yadav, Shreesha Achar

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is a batter's paradise. The pitch is hard for the most part, and the ball comes onto the bat at a quick pace, making it easy to score runs. Spinners will find some assistance as the game progresses, but new batters generally adjust to the conditions without much trouble. Both teams will look to maximize the powerplay overs, as that’s when conditions will be best for batting here.
Expect a cloudy day with showers and a possible thunderstorm later on. The match starts in the afternoon, so there's a chance for a full game if the rain holds off until later.

Average Turn
Batting first at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium typically yields an average of 162 runs in domestic T20 cricket. This season's record is held by Gulbarga Mystics, who chased down 197 with a total of 200-7. Expecting another run-fest, the team batting first will likely target a score in the region of 180 runs.
Toss: To Bowl
Seven out of the nine matches held at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium during the 2024 Maharaja T20 Trophy have been won by the team batting second. So it goes without saying that both captains will be looking to chase here.

Winning Prediction
Hubli Tigers have won four of their last five matches against the Shivamogga Lions, including three straight matches last season. They are in terrific form and will be looking to capitalize on their momentum with another win. Shivamogga are struggling and need an inspirational performance from someone to lift their spirits. Otherwise, we feel this game will be dominated by the much stronger Hubli Tigers.
Hubli Tigers are favorites to win this clash.
