Shivamogga Lions vs Mangalore Dragons Chance of Winning

The Shivamogga Lions head into this contest following a devastating seven-wicket loss to the Bengaluru Blasters. Their batting lineup struggled from the start, managing to score a paltry 111/9 in their 20 overs. Aneeshwar Gautam was the top scorer with 23 runs, but no other batter could make a significant contribution, with the team losing wickets at regular intervals. The lack of a strong partnership severely hampered their ability to post a competitive total.

Defending a small target, the Lions' bowlers tried their best but had little to work with. They managed to take three wickets, but the Blasters chased down the target comfortably in just 14.4 overs. The bowlers were unable to build pressure, and expensive spells from some of their key bowlers made the chase easier for the opposition. This defeat seals a disappointing season for the Lions. The Lions are eliminated from the tournament, having lost six of the seven matches they've played this season.

The Mangalore Dragons are coming off a resounding 52-run victory against the Mysore Warriors. Batting first, the Dragons posted a strong total of 173/7, thanks to key contributions from several batsmen. Lochan Gowda (34) and Sharath BR (25) gave them a solid start, while Macneil Noronha provided a late surge with a quickfire 31 off 17 balls, helping the team reach a formidable score.

Defending a challenging target, the Dragons' bowlers were exceptional. Kranthi Kumar was the star, taking a match-winning 4 wickets for 30 runs. He received great support from captain Shreyas Gopal, who took 3 wickets, and Macneil Noronha and Ronit More, who chipped in with a wicket each. The combined effort of the bowlers bundled out the opposition for just 121 runs, securing a comfortable win for the team. With this win, the Dragons solidify their place in the top four.

Based on the current form of both the Shivamogga Lions and the Mangalore Dragons, the Dragons have a better chance of winning this contest.

Shivamogga Lions vs Mangalore Dragons Top Batters

Aneewshwar Gautam to be the Top Batter for the Shivamogga Lions

Aneewshar Gautam scored 23 runs in 27 balls in the last match against the Bengaluru Blasters and was the top scorer for the Lions. Gautam hasn’t had a fixed batting position right throughout the season, where he has struggled to score runs but when has batted up the order he has performed well. We back Gautam to play another impactful knock against the Dragons and be the top batter for the Lions.

Sharath BR to be the Top Batter for the Mangalore Dragons

Sharath BR has scored 180 runs in 6 matches this season, averaging a solid 30. He holds a good record against the Shivamogga Lions, having scored 70 runs in the last match against the Shivamogga Lions earlier in the season. The way he has batted in the last two matches suggests another big knock is inevitable in today’s fixture, and we back him to score more runs than the other batters on his team.

Shivamogga Lions vs Mangalore Dragons Top Bowlers

Vasuki Koushik to be the Top Bowler for the Shivamogga Lions

Vasuki Koushik picked up one wicket while conceding 9 runs in the last match against the Bengaluru Blasters. So far this season, Koushik has taken eight wickets in seven matches and has been the top bowler for the Lions in four of those matches. With the Lions in desperate need of a win, we are backing Vasuki Koushik to deliver a match-winning spell and be the top bowler for his team.

Krathi Kumar to be the Top Bowler for the Mangalore Dragons

Kranthi Kumar continued his good run of form with the ball, taking yet another four-wicket haul this season. For the sixth straight game, he has been the top bowler for the Mangalore Dragons. With a total of 21 wickets in six 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 Lions.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Mangalore Dragons
