Vijayawada Sunshiners and Simhadri Vizag Lions will square off against each other in the Andhra Premier League on August 12, 2025, and they are going to clash at Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam. The match is scheduled to kick off at 6:30 PM IST.

Vijayawada Sunshiners vs Simhadri Vizag Lions Match Prediction

Facts:

Vijayawada Sunshiners’ Garimella Teja is the second leading batter of the Andhra Premier League so far with 123 runs in two innings.
All-rounder Tripurana Vijay stands as the top wicket-taker for Simhadri Vizag Lions with two wickets in a single innings.

Vijayawada Sunshiners vs Simhadri Vizag Lions Chances of Winning

Vijayawada Sunshiners’ previous game against Kakinada Kings went swimmingly as the former posted a massive 195-run stand during the first innings. Although most of their top order was rendered ineffective, Zaheer Abbas in the middle order brought stability to the innings with a half-century, having scored 57 runs. Garimella Teja narrowly missed out on a half-century of his own with a 46-run knock and the team had a defendable target on the board. Although the surface tends to favor those chasing, the bowlers held up their end of the bargain well by bundling out the opposition for 171 in the final over of the innings. The Vijayawada-based team took victory by a 24-run margin in the end.

Simhadri Vizag Lions’ first outing of the season against Tungabhadra Warriors did not go well considering the former were asked to bat first and they secured a measly 109 runs. Opener Abhishek Reddy was the only batter to have made a valuable contribution, having scored 40 runs before his dismissal. He had virtually no assistance from the others and this gave the bowlers nothing to work with. They had no choice but to concede defeat and they lost by seven wickets.

Vijayawada Sunshiners vs Simhadri Vizag Lions Betting Tips

Simhadri Vizag Lions to score low before first dismissal

Abhishek Reddy and Kogatam Haneesh Reddy’s eight-run partnership for Simhadri Vizag Lions’ first wicket during the first game was not compelling in the slightest. Both openers are relatively inexperienced and that will put them on the backfoot against Vijayawada Sunshiners’ bowlers, especially with Prithvi Raj and Thanneeru Bharath in the lineup.

Vijayawada Sunshiners vs Simhadri Vizag Lions Toss Prediction

In the first five games of the present season held at Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, the toss winners elected to chase on all occasions and it paid off four times so far. The venue has a rather competitive average stand of 174 with the first bat but the total is not safe, making fielding first the top choice for the next fixture as well.

Weather Report

A heavy thunderstorm is predicted at Visakhapatnam with a high 65% chance of a washout. The temperature will peak at 35 degrees Celsius.

Vijayawada Sunshiners vs Simhadri Vizag Lions Best Batters

Ashwin Hebbar to be Vijayawada Sunshiners’ Best Batter

Ashwin Hebbar was not the top scorer in the last match against Kakinada Kings where he scored three runs before his dismissal but he is the second leading scorer for the team with 101 runs in two innings. He notched up 98 runs in the first game and has a remarkable average of 50.50 which makes him the top choice for the next game.

Ricky Bhui to be Simhadri Vizag Lions’ Best Batter

In the first game of the season against Tungabhadra Warriors, Ricky Bhui was not among the top scorers for the team considering he scored a mere two runs.

Averaging at 33.75, he is expected to be their top batter in the next encounter.

Vijayawada Sunshiners vs Simhadri Vizag Lions Best Bowlers

Prithvi Raj to be Vijayawada Sunshiners’ Best Bowler

As predicted for the last game, Prithvi Raj emerged as the top bowler for Vijayawada Sunshiners and he was tied for spot as he claimed three wickets in four overs with a brilliant economy rate of 6.00. Moreover, he is the team’s leading wicket-taker overall with four wickets in two innings and a stellar average of 15.25, making him the favorite against Simhadri Vizag Lions.

Yeddala Reddy to be Simhadri Vizag Lions’ Best Bowler

Yeddala Reddy did not capture any wickets in the first match against Tungabhadra Warriors but he was a great asset to Vizag Warriors in the last season where he picked nine wickets in five innings. He is expected to return stronger in the next fixture against Vijayawada Sunshiners.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Vijayawada Sunshiners

Vijayawada Sunshiners and Simhadri Vizag Lions are on opposite ends of the spectrum at the moment since the former are the table toppers with two victories in two games and an outstanding net run rate of +1.549, and the Ricky Bhui-led side are last in standings with one defeat and an absolutely awful net run rate of -3.793. It is quite certain that the former are favored to take another win and make it a hat trick.
