Mangalore Dragons vs Hubli Tigers Chance of Winning

The Mangalore Dragons are coming off a three-wicket loss to the Bengaluru Blasters in a rain-affected game reduced to 19 overs. Batting first, the Dragons posted a good score of 174/6, thanks to a strong start from their openers, Lochan Gowda (49 runs off 32 balls) and Sharath BR (45 runs off 22 balls), who put on 90 runs for the first wicket in just 7.2 overs. However, the middle order couldn't capitalize on the start, and the Dragons lost wickets at regular intervals. In the end, S. Shivaraj's 33 runs off 15 balls helped them get past the 170-run mark.

Despite a good score, the Dragons' bowlers couldn't seal the win as the Blasters chased down the target in 18.3 overs. Kranthi Kumar was the standout bowler with figures of 2/28, while the other bowlers each chipped in with one wicket.

The Hubli Tigers suffered a four-wicket loss to the Gulbarga Mystics in a last-over thriller. Batting first, the Tigers posted a moderate score of 158/8. After their top three batsmen failed to perform, K. Shrijith's 52 runs off 45 balls and Shivakumar Rakshith's 36 runs off 22 balls helped them get past 150. In their defense of the total, fielding lapses and dropped catches in the last two overs ultimately cost them the game.

With the ball, Yash Raj Punja (2/33) and K.C. Cariappa (2/28) were the standout performers for the Tigers. Ritesh Bhatkal and Samarth Nagaraj also picked up a wicket each. This is the second loss for the Hubli Tigers in their last three matches.

This match is expected to be an even contest, but given that the Mangalore Dragons have already defeated the Hubli Tigers earlier in the season, they have a better chance of winning this one.

Mangalore Dragons vs Hubli Tigers Prediction & Betting Tips 2025

Sharath BR has been in good form this season, scoring 133 runs in four matches to become the Mangalore Dragons' leading run-scorer. His scores of 45, 2, 70, and 16 show he has two quickfire starts and a rare single-digit score. Given he's in good form, we back Sharath BR to provide another fast start against the Hubli Tigers and score over 23 runs.

Mangalore Dragons vs Hubli Tigers Toss Prediction

Out of the 16 completed matches in the KSCA Maharaja Trophy at the Srikantadatta Narasimha Raja Wadeyar Ground in Mysore, teams bowling first hold the upper hand with eight wins, while the team batting first has won six matches and two matches have ended in a no-result.

The Mangalore Dragons have won all three of their matches while batting first, while the Hubli Tigers have won two of their three matches while bowling first. Given that there is a bit of dew in the later stages of the game that favors the batters, the preferred choice for both teams is likely to be bowling first.

Mangalore Dragons vs Hubli Tigers Betting Odds

Mangalore Dragons to have a better opening partnership than the Hubli Tigers

The Mangalore Dragons' openers, Lochan Gowda and Sharath BR, have an average of 43.5 runs per match in their last four outings. In contrast, the Hubli Tigers' opening pair of Prakhar Chaturvedi and Mohammed Taha has averaged 27.6 runs per match in the five matches played this season.

The last time these two teams played earlier in the season, both the Mangalore Dragons and Hubli Tigers' openers were dismissed cheaply, adding just seven runs for the first wicket. However, given the current form of both teams' openers, we are backing on the Mangalore Dragons to have a better opening partnership than the Hubli Tigers.

Mangalore Dragons vs Hubli Tigers Top Batters

Sharath BR to be the Top Batter for the Mangalore Dragons

Sharath BR scored 45 runs off 22 balls against the Bengaluru Blasters, hitting six fours and two sixes, and was the second-best batter of the match for the Dragons. This season, he has scored a total of 133 runs in four matches, making him the leading run-scorer for the Mangalore Dragons. Given his current form, we back Sharath BR to be the top batter for the Dragons against the Tigers.

Devdutt Padikkal to be the Top Batter for the Hubli Tigers

The skipper of the Hubli Tigers, Devdutt Padikkal, scored just seven runs in the last match against the Gulbarga Mystics, and he has not been at his best in the last two matches, scoring in single digits. However, the last time he played against the Mangalore Dragons, Padikkal scored 60 runs off 40 balls and was the top batter for the Tigers. We expect Padikkal to bounce back from his string of low scores and play a big knock against the Dragons.

Mangalore Dragons vs Hubli Tigers Top Bowlers

Krathi Kumar to be the Top Bowler for the Mangalore Dragons

Kranthi Kumar continued his good run of form with the ball, taking another two wickets against the Bengaluru Blasters. For the fourth consecutive game, he has been the top bowler for the Mangalore Dragons. With a total of 14 wickets in four matches, he is currently the leading wicket-taker of the season. He typically bowls in the middle and final overs of the innings, where he is very effective at taking wickets. We are predicting another match-winning performance from him today and expect him to be the top bowler for the Dragons against the Tigers.

Yash Raj Punja to be the Top Bowler for the Hubli Tigers

Yash Raj Punja picked up two wickets while conceding 33 runs against the Gulbarga Mystics in the last match. Punja has been the main bowler and wicket-taker in the middle overs. He has taken 8 wickets in 4 matches this season and was the top bowler for the Hubli Tigers in three of those matches. Given his current bowling form and his wicket-taking ability, we are backing Punja to be the top bowler for the Hubli Tigers.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Mangalore Dragons

The Mangalore Dragons are the favorites to win this contest. They have already defeated the Hubli Tigers once this season and possess a superior bowling attack. The Tigers have also struggled to score runs in their last three matches, giving the Dragons a clear momentum advantage. We are backing the Mangalore Dragons to secure their fourth win of the season.

Mangalore Dragons to Win - 2.06 (Parimatch)
Hubli Tigers to Win - 1.68 (Parimatch)
