PRR vs WAW Match Prediction & Analysis

Ranga Reddy Risers will take on Warangal Warriors in Match 28 of the Telangana Premier League 2026 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad.

Ranga Reddy Risers are currently fifth on the points table with 6 points from 6 matches, having won 3 and lost 3. They have been inconsistent throughout the season but remain firmly in the playoff race. 

Their recent form has seen them register 3 wins and 2 defeats in the last five matches, although they head into this contest after suffering a 5-wicket defeat to Anvita Khammam Aces in their previous outing. A victory here would significantly strengthen their chances of finishing in the playoff spots. 

Warangal Warriors, meanwhile, are sixth in the standings with 3 points from 6 matches, recording 1 win, 4 defeats, and 1 no result. Their campaign has been disappointing so far, managing just one victory. 

Their last five matches have produced 1 win, 3 losses, and 1 no result, highlighting their inconsistent run in the tournament. Their most recent fixture against Palamuru Strikers was abandoned due to rain with the Warriors.  With their playoff hopes already over, they will be looking to end their campaign on a positive note.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Pranava Ranga Reddy Risers Preview

Ranga Reddy Risers suffered a 5-wicket defeat against Anvita Khammam Aces in their previous match after being restricted to 147/9 in 20 overs. 

The batting unit struggled to build partnerships, although Aditya Javvaji top-scored with 43 off 37 balls, while Gnana Reddy contributed 36 off 25. The middle and lower order failed to accelerate in the death overs, preventing the Risers from posting a more competitive total.

The bowling attack made the chase competitive, with Arun Kumar producing an impressive spell of 3/24 in 4 overs, while Aryan Cariappa claimed 1/17 in 2 overs. However, the remaining bowlers were unable to apply sustained pressure as Anvita Khammam Aces reached the target in 17.1 overs with five wickets in hand.

Despite that setback, Ranga Reddy have shown throughout the tournament that they possess a balanced squad capable of competing with any side on their day. However, greater consistency from both the batting and bowling departments will be crucial as they enter the business end of the league. A victory in this match would keep their top-four hopes alive. 

Key Players: Aditya Javvaji, Aryan Cariappa, Arun Kumar

Pranava Ranga Reddy Risers Predicted Playing XI:

Aravelly Avanish (wk), Aaron George, Gnana Reddy, Aditya Javvaji, Raghava Pattapu, Tanay Thyagarajan (c), Nitin Sai Yadav, Sacheit Binjrajka, Aryan Cariappa, Arun Kumar, Tanay Jaddu

Warangal Warriors Preview

Warangal Warriors' most recent match against Palamuru Strikers was abandoned due to rain, with only 2.3 overs possible before play was called off. 

At the time of the interruption, the Warriors were 23/1, with Aman Rao scoring 14 off 8 balls before being dismissed, while Harshit Choudhary remained unbeaten on 8 off 5. As a result, both teams shared a point.

Before that, the Warriors suffered a 6-wicket defeat to Hyderabad E-Champions despite posting a competitive 173/9 in 20 overs. Aman Rao starred with a blistering 45 off 20 balls, while Rishiket Sisodia (38 off 32) and Harshit Choudhary (22 off 14) also made useful contributions. 

However, the bowling attack struggled to defend the total, with Salman Khan, Pallepati Kranthi and Shaunak Kulkarni picking up one wicket each as Hyderabad chased the target in just 15.3 overs.

The Warriors have shown glimpses of their batting firepower this season but have lacked consistency with both bat and ball in crucial moments. Although they are no longer in contention for a top-four finish, the Warriors will be eager to play for pride and finish the tournament strongly.

Key Players: Aman Rao, Harshit Choudhary, Salman Khan

Warangal Warriors Predicted Playing XI:

Aman Rao (c), Harshit Choudhary, Rishiket Sisodia, Murugan Abhishek, Sunkari Dheeraj, Bhavesh Seth (wk), Adi Mani Kiran, Shaunak Kulkarni, Mudassar Hussain, Pallepati Kranthi, Salman Khan
