Tungbhadra Warriors enter the contest with yet another defeat in the 2026 Andhra Premier League. They lost their most recent clash against the Vijayawada Sunshiners by 19 runs. The defending champions failed to chase 199 runs. Samanyu Datta scored a 24-ball half-century. They were 122/4 and required 77 off 34 balls. The Warriors collapsed to 179/8 in 20 overs.
It was the second consecutive loss for the defending champions. Earlier, they lost to Kakinada Kings by 34 runs. In both games, they failed to chase the total. The batting unit didn’t capitalize the chances and the middle order also looked down. Their bowlers are also not at their best level. They desperately need a win to survive. Defeat in this game will eliminate them from the top four race.
Shree Samanyu scored 107 runs in 3 innings for the Warriors. The top wicket taker for Tungabhadra in the tournament is Madha Deepak with 6 wickets under his belt. They are currently sitting at the bottom spot of the 2026 Andhra Premier League. CR Ganeshwar could be a player to watch out for. He was in good form during the domestic season. We back him to score above 25 runs in the competition.

Bhimavaram Bulls head into the contest back off a clinical run-chase against Vijayawada Sunshiners. It was the third instance in the ongoing season when Bhimavaram successfully chased down 200-plus total. Vijayawada posted 212/9 in 20 overs while batting first. The Bulls completed the chase with a six in the 18th over. Revanth Reddy smashed 122 off 61 balls.
Reddy and Ravikiran added 122 runs for the third wicket off 62 balls. Satyanarayana Raju bagged three wickets for the Bulls. It was surprising that the same side failed to chase 170 odd runs against Amaravati Royals one game back. They were 101/1 at one stage and failed to chase the total. The middle order might be exposed again. They truly rely on their top order. Either Hemanth or Revanth Reddy take the charge for the Bulls.
Bhimavaram chased 200-plus totals thrice but they also conceded runs. It means, bowling needs big improvement. Your batters cannot save you every time. Revanth Reddy could be a player to watch out for. He is the second-highest run-getter of the tournament with 268 runs at a SR of 197.06. We back him to score above 30 runs in the competition. Thota Sravan also has 152 runs and Hemanth Reddy has 129 runs in 5 innings. Bailapudi Yeswanth has bagged ten wickets in the league.

Toss Prediction: Bhimavaram to win the coin toss.
Bhimavaram Bulls enter this contest as the favourites to win this match. They are a superior T20 side. They lost just one game out of five. We might see another classic batting performance in this game. This is also a crucial match for both teams as both teams would eye to improve their position in the points table.
