Simhadri Vizag Lions vs Kakinada Kings Chances of Winning

In Simhadri Vizag Lions’ first outing of the season against Tungabhadra Warriors, the latter elected to field first and restricted the Vizag-based team to a mere 109 runs. Opener Abhishek Reddy top-scored with 40 runs and all-rounder Tripurana Vijay was next in line with 22 runs. They did not have a competitive score on the board to defend and the bowlers had to watch with folded arms as the opposition surpassed the target with seven wickets in hand.

Kakinada Kings were great with the bat in the first game of the tournament against Amaravati Royals where the former posted a whopping 229 runs on the board. Sai Rahul and Srikar Bharat top-scored with 96 and 93 runs, respectively, and the others did not contribute nearly enough. Despite having secured a defensible target, the bowlers conceded far too many runs and allowed their rivals to make it over the line with three wickets to spare via the DLS method.

Simhadri Vizag Lions vs Kakinada Kings Betting Tips

Simhadri Vizag Lions to score low before first dismissal

Abhishek Reddy and Kogatam Haneesh Reddy opened for Simhadri Vizag Lions in the previous game against Tungabhadra Warriors where they added eight runs to the first wicket. The latter was dismissed on the fifth ball of the innings after having scored just five runs, and neither of the openers are seasoned enough to bring stability to the opening wicket. They are not expected to post a big total against Kakinada Kings either.

Simhadri Vizag Lions vs Kakinada Kings Toss Prediction

In the first three matches of the season hosted at Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, the chasing side took a clean sweep as they won all three games and the toss winners unanimously chose to field first. The average first innings score of 178 is not safe at this venue and chasing will be the preferred strategy for the next game as well.

Weather Report

A huge 50% chance of disruption is predicted at Visakhapatnam on match day with scattered thunderstorms and a maximum temperature of 33 degrees Celsius.

Simhadri Vizag Lions and Kakinada Kings have never faced each other in the tournament, and there is no head-to-head record between the sides.

Simhadri Vizag Lions vs Kakinada Kings Betting Odds

Kakinada Kings to have a better opening partnership than Simhadri Vizag Lions

Abhishek Reddy and Kogatam Haneesh Reddy were not a particularly prolific opening duo for Simhadri Vizag Lions in the previous game against Tungabhadra Warriors where they scored eight runs together before the latter lost his wicket at the end of the first over. On the other hand, Kakinada Kings’ Srikar Bharat and Pitta Arjun Tendulkar were not significantly better against Vijayawada Sunshiners given that they added a mere 14 runs to the first wicket. Regardless, the latter have the potential to be a more destructive pair which makes them the favored choice for the next game.

Simhadri Vizag Lions vs Kakinada Kings Best Batters

Ricky Bhui to be Simhadri Vizag Lions’ Best Batter

Ricky Bhui did not make an impact in the last game considering he was dismissed for two runs. However, the skipper is highly experienced in domestic cricket, and he has a total of 1789 runs in 68 T20 innings along with an average of 33.75. Moreover, he has two centuries and ten half-centuries under his belt which makes him the top choice for the next match.

Srikar Bharat to be Kakinada Kings’ Best Batter

Srikar Bharat kicked off the tournament on a high note as he scored 93 runs in the previous game against Amaravati Royals, missing out on a century by seven runs. During the 2024 season, he was Vizag Warriors’ second leading batter with 341 runs in eight innings and an average of 68.20, making him the top contender for the upcoming fixture as well.

Simhadri Vizag Lions vs Kakinada Kings Best Bowlers

Yeddala Reddy to be Simhadri Vizag Lions’ Best Bowler

Yeddala Reddy delivered two overs during the last match against Tungabhadra Warriors where he did not pick any wickets and ended up with a rather high economy rate of 11.50. Nevertheless, he was the second highest wicket-taker for Vizag Warriors, having claimed nine wickets in five innings. Further, his average of 15.11 was impressive and he is expected to come out on top against Kakinada Kings.

Pinninti Tapaswi to be Kakinada Kings’ Best Bowler

Pinninti Tapaswi was the leading bowler for Kakinada Kings in the previous outing, having taken a four-wicket haul against Amaravati Royals. His three-over spell also included a rather high economy rate of 11.66, but his wicket-taking prowess was unmatched. He remains the top choice against Simhadri Vizag Lions.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Kakinada Kings

Simhadri Vizag Lions and Kakinada Kings were both off to poor starts to their respective campaigns and the former are in a particularly awful spot as they stand sixth on the points table with a horrendous net run rate of -3.793. Kakinada Kings are two spots higher in fourth place with a redeemable net run rate of -0.689, and the latter are favored to emerge victorious since their performance with the bat was far superior to that of the Ricky Bhui-led unit.
