Ossudu Accord Warriors will take on the table-toppers, who are struggling to find their rhythm. Villianur Mohit Kings failed to chase down 172 runs in their last match and lost by 3 wickets while defending 183 in the previous game.
Though the Warriors ended their losing streak with a successful run chase in the last game, their batting woes are far from over. 4 of their top 5 batters scored under 10 runs while Krishna Pandey led them to a win, scoring 66 off 39 balls at number 7.
Villianur Mohit Kings will be expecting a comeback from their key batsman Akash Pougajendy. He is a match-winner in the middle order, but has struggled to get going in the recent losses.
As conditions have only improved for batting at the venue, teams need a bigger total in the first innings. Warriors chased down 170 in the last game and were very close to the 199-run target in the previous match.
Kings will need their key players, Aman Khan, Mohit Kale, and Bhanu Anand, in the top 4 to set the stage for a big total.

Ossudu Accord Warriors are at number 4 in the points table with just 2 wins from 7 matches. They will need another win to hold on to that position since they are tied with the fifth and sixth teams on the points table with 4 points each.
In their previous encounter against Villianur Mohit Kings, the Warriors ended up conceding 216 runs, bowling first. Their bowling returns have improved since then, and in their recent game, they restricted a strong White Town Legends lineup to 169 runs.
Satvik Deswal, Krishna Pandey, and Sidak Gurvinder Singh are the key wicket-takers in this side. These three will be expected to deliver crucial breakthroughs to put the Warriors on top of the game.
In the batting department, the performances have been very inconsistent. Opening batsman Ganga Sridhar Raju is an experienced batsman who can lead the Warriors off to a flier.
Puneet Tripathi and Krishna Pandey are proven match-winners in the middle order. Raju’s opening partner, Jaswanth Shreeram, hasn’t found his rhythm in recent matches and failed to score in double digits.
Skipper Nitin Pranaav can be effective with the bat in the lower middle order along with Sidak Gurvinder Singh. There are plenty of options in the batting lineup, with someone or the other having delivered impactful knocks so far in the season.

Villianur Mohit Kings desperately need a win here to turn things around. With just 3 matches left in the league stage, they will need to win big to gain momentum ahead of the semi-finals.
In their last match, chasing 12 off the last over, the Kings lost by 1 run. Bhanu Anand’s opening partner, Mohit Kale, has been out of form lately, struggling to deliver a good start for the Kings.
That will be a major concern going ahead for the side. There is a lot of firepower in the top order with Anand, Kale, and Akash Pougajendy. They will be expected to find their rhythm in this match and lead the Kings to a solid start in the first half of the innings.
Almost every key batsman in this lineup has played a big knock for VMK and helped them dominate the opposition. Aman Khan is another such batter who has an impressive strike rate and will be one to watch out for in the middle order.
Prithvi Rajan Khanna is the last reliable batter in this lineup at number 5. He scored 53 off 39 balls in the last game while chasing 172 runs. Right-handed batsman and captain of the team, Damodaran Rohit, hasn’t delivered with either bat or his off-break bowling.
The captain has been a liability for VMK, and we think they are better off without him. We think they should replace him with Raghav Goyal to strengthen the bowling attack.
Himanshu Sahani, Aman Khan, and Goyal will be the key bowlers in the lineup. They can deliver breakthroughs at crucial intervals to put the Warriors under pressure.

There will be rain showers with a high of 29 degrees Celsius around the match time in Puducherry. It is very likely to affect the game, and in the worst-case scenario, the match would be abandoned.

It is a batting-friendly pitch at the Cricket Association Puducherry Siechem Ground in Puducherry. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 matches here is 182 runs. Considering how the bowlers have also found great help in the second innings on this pitch, we think a 190-195 run total can be a match-winning score at this venue.
Though we haven’t seen any clear advantage to either batting or bowling first at this venue, having runs on the board sounds like a better strategy. Teams batting first have won 6 of the last 10 matches of the Pondicherry Premier League on this ground. The recent matches won by the chasing team had a very small margin.
Villianur Mohit Kings are on the backfoot coming into this match. Nevertheless, they have some brilliant players in key positions. They can make a good comeback in this match. Ossudu Accord Warriors have been inconsistent with the ball and are likely to be very expensive against the mighty Kings. Villianur Mohit Kings will have the edge going into this contest and start as favorites in our match prediction.
