HT vs MW Match Prediction & Analysis

Hubli Tigers will lock horns with Mysore Warriors in the 25th match of the Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 at the Srikantadatta Narasimha Raja Wadeyar Ground in Mysore.

The Tigers are placed second in the points table and will be eyeing the top spot with a win here. They have been a little inconsistent lately, as their recent form has been W L W L. With only two more games left in the league stage, Hubli Tigers will be looking to find consistency in their performances and carry the momentum into the playoffs.

Mysore Warriors lost two consecutive games after winning their opening match of the season. They secured their second win while defending a 136-run total in a 16-over, rain-affected match. However, since then, they’ve lost two more games on the trot, with one loss coming despite scoring a 209-run total batting first.

A struggling bowling attack of the Mysore Warriors will face the mighty Hubli Tigers, who have their skipper Devdutt Padikkal in fine touch at the top.

HEAD TO HEAD

TEAMS PREVIEW

Hubli Tigers Preview

Hubli Tigers need their top order to start making contributions if they are to stand a chance of reaching the final. Except for Devdutt Padikkal, the top order has looked mediocre. Opening batsman Mohammad Taha has failed to get going in his last three innings, while the number 4 has also failed to deliver runs.

There have been major changes to the batting order in recent games, and in their last outing, Kartikeya KP stepped up to deliver an impactful knock at number 3 to lead the Tigers to a 7-wicket win.

The likes of Abhinav Manohar, Krishnan Shrijith, and wicket-keeper batsman Shivkumar Rakshith will be expected to hold the key to the middle order. These three will be expected to deliver partnerships that will take Hubli Tigers to a competitive total.

However, it will be the bowlers who will be crucial for their win. They have been consistent and reliable for the Tigers so far. Yash Raj Punja, Ritesh Bhatkal, and KC Cariappa are the key wicket-takers to watch out for in this squad.

Punja has picked up 8 wickets in the last three matches, while Bhatkal has bowled at an economy of less than 5 runs per over in his last two games. In the spin department, Cariappa is joined by Shreesha Achar, a left-arm orthodox bowler, who’s been very consistent lately.

Hubli Tigers Predicted Playing XI:

Mohammed Taha, Devdutt Padikkal (c), Karthikeya KP, Abhinav Manohar, Shivkumar Rakshith (wk), Manvanth Kumar L, Ritesh Bhatkal, KC Cariappa, Sanjay Kumar, Shreesha Achar, Yash Raj Punja

Hubli Tigers Actual Playing XI:

Abhinav Manohar, Devdutt Padikkal, Mohammed Taha, Manvanth Kumar L, Karthikeya KP, Shivkumar Rakshith, KC Cariappa, Ritesh Bhatkal, Shreesha Achar, Sanjay Kumar , Yash Punja

Mysore Warriors Preview

After successfully defending a 136-run total in a 16-over game, the Warriors’ bowling issues began. They reduced the Bengaluru Blasters to 97 for 9 in their last win, but in the very next game, the Warriors lost by 7 wickets despite posting a 209-run total.

Manish Pandey has some promising batters in the lineup. The skipper himself is a crucial figure in the middle order, while SU Karthik and CA Karthik are the key opening batters in the lineup.

The openers have struggled to get off to a start in recent matches. M Venkatesh was the top scorer for the Warriors in their match against Gulbarga, scoring 94 off 53 balls at number 3 as Mysore finished with 209 for 5.

Bowling all-rounder Yashovardhan Parantap has looked promising in the lower middle order and will be one to watch out for in this match. Opening batters must find their form if the Mysore Warriors are to bounce back in this game.

The current form of their key players doesn’t promise a strong batting performance. Moreover, the bowlers have also been very expensive and struggled to deliver breakthroughs.

Prasidh Krishna is the star pacer in this bowling attack. He will be a key wicket-taker in the side along with Krishnappa Gowtham and LR Kumar. Gowtham will lead the spin bowling attack with Kushaal Wadhwani.

Mysore Warriors Predicted Playing XI:

Codanda Ajit Karthik, Muralidhara Venkatesh, Harshil Dharmani, Manish Pandey (c), Yashovardhan Parantap, Srinivas Sharath (wk), Lankesh KS, Krishnappa Gowtham, Shikhar Shetty, Prasidh Krishna, Kushaal Wadhwani

Mysore Warriors Actual Playing XI:

Karthik S U , Manish Pandey, Harshil Dharmani, Lankesh, Venkatesh Muralidhara, Yashovardhan Parantap, Krishnappa Gowtham, Srinivas Sharath, Prasidh Krishna, Kushal Wadhwani, Gowtham Sagar

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

There will be light rain in Mysore, followed by scattered thunderstorms around the match time. It will very likely affect the match outcome, and in the best-case scenario, we would lose a few overs, but there is also a chance of losing the game entirely.

HT vs MW Pitch Report

It is a balanced pitch at the Srikantadatta Narasimha Raja Wadeyar Ground, where both batters and bowlers have delivered impactful performances in recent games. There have been successful run chases and also low-scoring affairs where teams have defended below-par scores successfully. Though the average 1st innings score in the last 10 matches at this venue is 146 runs, we believe there are plenty of runs on offer on this wicket. The team batting first should aim for something over 170 to be in a competitive position.

Toss: To Bowl

Teams bowling first have won 3 of the last 5 Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 2025 matches played at this venue. Hubli Tigers chased down 173 runs in their last game here, while Gulbarga Mystics chased down a 200+ target against Mysore in a recent game.
