Mangalore Dragons vs Shivamogga Lions Chance of Winning

After a poor 2024 season where they won only one match, the Mangalore Dragons have started this season on a high note. In a clinical performance with both bat and ball, they defeated the Gulbarga Mystics by 33 runs in the season opener.

Lochan Gowda set the tone at the top with the bat, scoring 27 runs from 20 balls. Along with Sharath B.R., who scored 16, the duo added 54 runs inside the first six overs. McNeil Noronha then took charge in the middle overs, smashing 53 runs from 28 balls, and a late flourish from Shreyas Gopal (20 runs from 16 balls) powered the Dragons to 180/8. While defending their total, the Dragons bowled out the Gulbarga Mystics for 147 runs in 19.5 overs. Shreyas Gopal was the top bowler with figures of 3/30, and Kranthi Kumar also bagged three wickets. Ronit More and McNeil Noronha chipped in with one wicket each.

The Shivamogga Lions have had a poor start to their campaign, suffering a 29-run loss to the Hubli Tigers in a high-scoring match. Bowling first, the Lions conceded a massive 216/5. Vidwath Kaverappa (2/39) and Vasuki Koushik (1/30) were the top performers with the ball.

Chasing such a huge total, the Lions felt the pressure early in their run-chase and were struggling at 47/4. However, a 56-run partnership for the fifth wicket between Aneeshwar Gautam (32 runs) and Anirudha Joshi brought them back into the game. Joshi remained unbeaten until the end, scoring 79 runs from 42 balls, while Avinash D also played a good cameo, scoring 22 runs from 16 balls.

Based on our analysis of both teams' performances after the first-round matches, the Mangalore Dragons have the best chance of winning this contest.

Mangalore Dragons vs Shivamogga Lions Prediction & Betting Tips 2025

Sharath BR scored 16 runs in the last match against the Gulbarga Mystics where in his short stay at the crease he was timing the ball well but unfortunately in trying to up the ante he was dismissed due to an edge caught by the keeper. Sharath BR has scored 487 runs in 21 matches in the KSCA Maharaja Trophy, averaging 23.19. He is a pretty consistent performer and we back him to convert his start into a big one in this fixture and score over 19 runs.

Mangalore Dragons vs Shivamogga Lions Betting Odds

Mangalore Dragons to have a better opening partnership than Shivamogga Lions @ 1.61 (Parimatch)

The Mangalore Dragons opening pair of Lochan Gowda and Sharath BR had a strong start, adding 54 runs for the first wicket in their last match against the Gulbarga Mystics. In contrast, the Shivamogga Lions openers, Nihal Ullal and Dhruv Prabhakar, managed only five runs. The Dragons openers are in great form, and their new-ball bowlers have been successful in taking early wickets during the powerplay. Meanwhile, the Shivamogga Lions bowlers were subpar in their last match. Given the current form of the Mangalore Dragons batters, we predict they will have a better opening partnership than the Shivamogga Lions.

Mangalore Dragons vs Shivamogga Lions Top Batters

McNeil Noronha to be the Top Batter for Mangalore Dragons

In his last outing against the Gulbarga Mystics, McNeil Noronha played a match-winning knock of 53 runs off just 28 balls, making him the top scorer for the Mangalore Dragons. Over the past three seasons, Noronha has scored 628 runs in 29 matches, averaging 22. His performance in the last match indicates he is in excellent form. Given his current form, we predict he will come good in this fixture and be the top batter for the Mangalore Dragons.

Aniruddha Joshi to be the Top Batter for the Shivamogga Lions

Anirudha Joshi played a scintillating knock of 79 runs from 42 balls, but it wasn't enough to carry the Shivamogga Lions to victory against the Hubli Tigers. Still, it's a positive sign for the Lions, as their most experienced batter is in good form early in the campaign. Joshi has scored 591 runs in 29 matches in the Maharaja Trophy. While he had a lean patch in his first season, he has managed to score over 220 runs in each of the last two seasons. We predict he will continue his strong performance from the last match and play another game-changing innings for the Lions in this fixture.

Mangalore Dragons vs Shivamogga Lions Top Bowlers

Shreyas Gopal to be the Top Bowler Mangalore Dragons

Shreyas Gopal bowled a match-winning spell against the Gulbarga Mystics, finishing with figures of 3/30 to become the top bowler for the Mangalore Dragons. Gopal has taken 27 wickets in 22 matches in the Maharaja Trophy. On a surface that favors spinners, he is expected to play a crucial role with the ball against the Shivamogga Lions. We predict he will be the top wicket-taker for the Dragons by unsettling the Lions batters.

Vidhwath Kaverappa to be the Top Bowler for the Shivamogga Lions

While all the other bowlers on his team were being hit for runs, the experienced fast bowler Vidwath Kaverappa bowled an economical spell, taking two wickets for just 39 runs against the Hubli Tigers. Kaverappa, who primarily bowls during the powerplay and death overs, is a street-smart bowler who varies his pace and often gets wickets. We expect another strong bowling performance from him against the Mangalore Dragons.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Mangalore Dragons

Mangalore Dragons enter this contest as the favourites to win and the odds are largely in their favour. The Dragons have depth in the batting coupled with their lethal spin bowling duo who can contain the opponent batters in the middle overs and take wickets. While the Shivamogga Lions haven’t been at their best and their weakness at the top was exposed in the last match. We are backing the Mangalore Dragons to continue their good run of form and win this match.
