Gulbarga Mystics beat Mangalore Dragons by 8 wickets145/2 in 15.3
Mangalore Dragons have been on fire this campaign, claiming seven victories from nine outings to reach 13 points and book their playoff spot. They crushed Bengaluru Blasters by nine wickets in their most recent match, moving to the top of the standings. That position isn't guaranteed, though, as the top four teams are bunched closely together on points, so Mangalore will want to win this one and lock up a top-two place.
Their batting has been the driving force behind their success story. BR Sharath leads the way with 280 runs from eight matches at a strike rate of 174. He just scored an unbeaten 72 from 47 balls last time out and looks to be in superb form right now.
Strong support has come from Lochan Gowda and Macneil Noronha, who've both gone past 200 runs while keeping up decent scoring tempos at the top of the order. Aneesh KV and S Shivaraj have added valuable runs too, giving the team good batting options down the lineup.
Their bowling has leaned heavily on Kranthi Kumar, who's taken 23 wickets across eight games while conceding 8.98 runs per over. His performance will largely determine how they fare in this contest. Alongside him, Shreyas Gopal and Sachin Shinde have played their part, collecting 19 wickets between them.
Lochan Gowda, Aneesh KV, Macneil Hadley Noronha, Aashish Mahesh (wk), S Shivaraj, Shreyas Gopal (c), Kranthi Kumar, Thippa Reddy, Sachin Shinde, Abhilash Shetty, Anmol Mathur Substitute: BR Sharath

Gulbarga Mystics have had a superb campaign this year, collecting six wins against three defeats to sit in second spot. Their latest match saw them cruise past Bengaluru Blasters by six wickets, a performance that should boost their confidence going into the playoffs.
The star performer has been Smaran Ravichandran, who's accumulated 391 runs in eight appearances while striking at 160.25. Five fifties have come from his bat this year, making him worth backing for another meaningful contribution of 30 runs or more here.
At the top of the order, Luvnith Sisodia has done well too, gathering 196 runs from nine matches at a rate of 196 and consistently giving his side fast starts in those first six overs.
There's also Nikin Jose and Prajwal Pavan, both of whom have played important roles in this batting group, getting beyond 160 runs each while maintaining good scoring momentum throughout their innings.
Looking at their bowling department, skipper Vijaykumar Vyshak and Monish Reddy have done the most damage, combining for 19 scalps so far. Other bowling responsibilities have been handled by Shashi Kumar Kamble, Prithviraj Shekhawat, and Lavish Kaushal, all of whom have contributed with timely wickets.
Luvnith Sisodia (wk), Krishnamurthy Siddharth, Bangalore Mohith, Smaran Ravichandran, Vijaykumar Vyshak (c), Prajwal Pavan, Praveen Dubey, Prithviraj Shekhawat, Likhit M Bannur, Lavish Kaushal, Shashi Kumar Kamble Substitute: Nikin Jose
Smaran Ravichandran, KV Siddharth, Praveen Dubey, Luvnith Sisodia, Vyshak Vijaykumar, Prajwal Pavan, Prithviraj Shekawat, Lavish Kaushal, Harsha Wardhan Khuba, Shashi Kumar K, Likhit Bannur
The Srikantadatta Narasimha Raja Wadeyar Ground has mostly favored batsmen during the Maharaja T20 Trophy 2025, with the pitch providing consistent carry and a fast outfield that helps run scoring. However, bowlers have found assistance too, as several wickets have played tricks with variable pace. Fast bowlers get early movement in the opening overs, though conditions become more batting-friendly as matches progress. During the back end of innings, spin bowlers can make an impact by varying their speed and line.
Weather predictions for Mysore suggest intermittent windy spells throughout, with partial cloud cover expected at the ground for the majority of proceedings.
The Srikantadatta Narasimha Raja Wadeyar Ground generally sees first-innings scores average near 160. The Maharaja T20 Trophy this year has produced batting-friendly conditions, where the average first-innings score has climbed closer to 170, and there have been occasions where sides have pushed past 200. For this match, a total somewhere between 180 and 190 should give the team batting first a solid grip on the game.
Teams batting second have claimed eight victories from the last 10 matches in this Maharaja T20 Trophy at Srikantadatta Narasimha Raja Wadeyar Ground. The numbers make it obvious that winning the toss and choosing to bowl first gives you the upper hand.
Mangalore Dragons and Gulbarga Mystics have both enjoyed excellent campaigns and already booked their spots in the playoffs. But now they need to fight for a top-two finish to get that extra chance at reaching the final if they lose their first playoff match. Both sides will go all out in this game since there's plenty at stake and very little between them right now. All things considered, though, Mangalore look in slightly better nick and have already beaten Gulbarga once this season. They hence get a narrow 51-49 advantage heading into this one.
Mangalore Dragons are our picks for the winners of this game.
