SML vs MW Match Prediction & Analysis
The Shivamogga Yodhas square off against the Mysore Warriors in the second match of the KSCA Maharaja Trophy 2026 season on Saturday, June 20th. The venue for this highly anticipated clash is the Srikantadatta Narasimha Raja Wadeyar Ground in Mysore, with the scheduled start time set for 7:00 PM IST.
The Shivamogga Yodhas, formerly known as the Shivamogga Lions, come into this tournament on the back of a couple of poor seasons where they failed to qualify for the knockout stages. On the other hand, the Mysore Warriors, despite boasting one of the strongest teams on paper, surprisingly failed to make it to the top four during the previous edition and will be desperate to make amends this time around.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Shivamogga Yodhas Preview
A fresh-looking side, revamped with newfound confidence and a strong squad, the Shivamogga Yodhas look to kickstart their season with a bang. After finishing last season at the bottom of the table with just one win in 10 matches, it was certainly not the best of campaigns.
But this time around, they look like one of the best sides on paper. They are likely to be led by Luvnith Sisodia, who scored 240 runs in 11 matches last season. However, their major signing is Smaran Ravichandran, who was the second-highest run-scorer last season with 415 runs in 11 matches. Tushar Singh, who had a relatively quiet season last year, will look to turn things around this time and make a significant impact.
Conversely, the middle order is one area that looks like a bit of a concern, with a lot resting on the shoulders of Yashovardhan Parantap (148 runs last season), Aneesh KV (185 runs), and Harshil Dharmani (175 runs).
In the bowling department, they look well sorted out. Naveen MG, Shreesha S. Achar, and Abhilash Shetty form the three main pace options. Meanwhile, in the spin department, a lot will rely on the young Yash Raj Punja, who shone last season with 24 wickets and also bowled remarkably well in the IPL for the Rajasthan Royals.
Shivamogga Yodhas Predicted Playing XI:
Smaran R, Luvnith Sisodia (C), Yashovardhan Parantap, Yash Raj Punja, Shreesha S Achar, Abhilash Shetty, Naveen MG, Aneesh KV, Tushar Singh, Harshil Dharmani, Mohsin Khan
Shivamogga Yodhas Actual Playing XI:
Smaran Ravichandran, KV Aneesh, Mohsin Khan, Tushar Singh, Harshil Dharmani, Yashovardhan Parantap, Luvnith Sisodia, Aadarsh Prajwal, Yash Raj Punja, Abhilash Shetty, Gneshwar Naveen, Shreesha Achar
Mysore Warriors Preview
The Mysore Warriors have completely revamped their squad for this season after enduring a highly disappointing campaign last time around, where they managed to win just two matches and lost six. Despite boasting some truly talented, world-class players, the Warriors simply couldn't quite get going.
This time around, they have parted ways with Karun Nair and Manish Pandey, bringing in Devdutt Padikkal. Padikkal was the leading run-scorer last season, amassing 449 runs in 12 matches. He also enjoys a highly successful IPL season, coming on the back of a 400+ run haul while striking at well over 160.
Alongside him, LR Chetan—who scored 299 runs in 12 matches—brings a wealth of experience to the top order. Karthik S.U. also impressed one and all by scoring 280 runs in 10 matches for the Warriors last season, earning his place as one of the team's top three retentions. Meanwhile, Madhav Prakash Bajaj and Manoj Bhandage are set to provide the necessary firepower in the middle order.
In the bowling department, Prasidh Krishna remains unavailable for this fixture. However, skipper Vijaykumar Vyshak, who made his move from Gulbarga to Mysore, will be keen on leading the side from the front with the ball in hand. He had a tough run last time around, managing to pick up just 10 wickets in 9 matches. Monish Reddy and Lavish Kaushal, two highly experienced bowlers, will provide Vyshak with much-needed support from the other end.
Mysore Warriors Predicted Playing XI:
Devdutt Padikkal, Karthik S U, Chethan LR, Madhav Prakash Bajaj, Manoj Bhandage, Monish Reddy, Deepak Devadiga, Lavish Kaushal, Vyshak Vyshak (C), Kartikeya KP, Ritesh Bhatkal
Mysore Warriors Actual Playing XI:
Vyshak Vijaykumar, Yuvraj Arora, Karthik S U , Manoj Bhandage, Monish Reddy, Lavish Kaushal, LR Chethan, Madhav Prakash Bajaj, Karthikeya KP, Ritesh Bhatkal, Gowtham Sagar, Lankesh KS
PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
Mysore expects cloudy skies this Saturday with a high of 32°C. Humidity will sit around 58%, accompanied by a gentle breeze of 14 km/h. There is only a minor 20% chance of precipitation throughout the day.
SML vs MW Pitch Report
The pitch at Srikantadatta Narasimha Raja Wadeyar Ground generally offers a balanced track but as this is the first match of the season expect a hard, good track with a little bit of grass where it will favour the batters. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 Maharaja Trophy matches played at this venue is 163 runs, a score of around 180 could be par for this fixture.
Score Prediction
If Mysore Warriors Bat 1st: 165-180 runs
If Shivamogga Yodhas Bat 1st: 175-190 runs
Toss: To Bowl
Teams bowling first won 6 of the last 10 T20 matches played at Srikantadatta Narasimha Raja Wadeyar Ground in Mysore. The surface favours the team chasing and we predict the team that win's the toss will look to bowl first.
Toss Prediction: Shivamogga Yodhas to win the coin toss
SML vs MW
Winning Prediction
The Mysore Warriors enter this contest as the favorites to win against the Shivamogga Yodhas. Although both teams come in with relatively new squads, a look at their overall balance shows that the Warriors hold a slight edge due to the depth in their batting lineup. Consequently, we back the Mysore Warriors to edge past the Shivamogga Yodhas and get their season underway with a win.
