TEAMS PREVIEW
Capital Amaravati Royals Preview
Amaravati Royals head into the contest back off a crucial victory against the in-form Bhimavaram Bulls. They extended their winning streak to three matches. The Royals were bowled out on 169 runs while batting first. Venkata Rahul scored 43 off 20 balls. They were six down on 125 but tailenders somehow gave them a challenging total. In the reply, the Bulls were restricted to 163. The match was reduced to 19 overs per side.
This win was pretty special for the Royals as they beat a strong side, who chased down 200-plus total twice in the tournament. At one stage, the Bulls crossed the 100-run mark in the 11th over with nine wickets in hand. KV Sasikanth bagged a three-wicket haul. Previously, they beat the Lions after going four down on 35 runs.
In the last two wins, their batting and bowling department delivered in crunch situations. Amaravati are finding true match winners in the contest. In the opening game, they defeated Tungabhadra by six wickets. Toshith Yadav could be a player to watch out for. He has picked up seven wickets in the league so far. We back him to pick two wickets in the upcoming game. Durga Naga Vara has 95 runs in 3 games for the Royals.

Simhadri Vizag Lions Preview
Simhadri Vizag Lions enter the contest with a breakthrough win in the Andhra Premier League. They outclassed the Vijayawada Sunshiners by 66 runs. Simhadri Vizag Lions posted their highest total of the tournament with 234 runs. Kogatam Haneesh Reddy scored 79 runs not out off 40 balls. Nimmala Himakar and Ricky Bhui also started off very well with 33 and 39 runs respectively. The Lions didn’t get chances to Vijayawada and kept them silent.
The run-rate pressure made their chase tough. Kamil Shaik picked up 3 wickets for 19 runs and Vijayawada Sunshiners were restricted to 167. It was a much-needed win for Samhadri after three straight defeats. They lost their previous match against Bhimavaram Bulls by a huge margin of 104 runs. The middle order still demands improvement. Bowling was top-notch in the last game.
Sinhadri moved to fifth from the bottom spot of the 2026 Andhra Premier League. Tripurana Vijay could be a player to watch out for. He has 90 runs in 4 games. Kogatam also has 99 runs so far. We back one of these two to score above 35 runs in the upcoming match. If they win one more game, they will be back in the race of top four.

The surface at ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium is good for batting. The pitch offers a good bounce. Pacers can be effective with the new ball. It will be a morning game so batting would be slightly easier. In the last five matches at this ground, the average first batting score in T20 is 192. It is a good T20 batting surface where batsmen need to play sensibly specially in the powerplay.
Score prediction:
If Amaravati bat first - 160-170 runs
If Samhadri bat first - 190-200 runs
Toss: To Bat
In the last five T20s on this surface, chasing sides won only once. Overcast conditions can help pacers to pick early wickets. This is the surface where 200-plus total has been chased twice. Both teams have had earlier success while batting first and they will look to bat first in this fixture as well.
Toss Prediction: Amravati to win the coin toss.
AMR vs SVL
Winning Prediction
Amaravati enter this contest as the favourites to win this match. They are a better T20 side. They are unbeaten so far in the league. We might see their better version on Sunday. This is also a crucial match for both teams as both teams would eye to improve their position in the points table.
