TEAMS PREVIEW
Vijayawada Sunshiners Preview
Vijayawada Sunshiners head into the contest back off a 51-run victory against Kakinada Kings. They posted 202 for 9 while batting first. Munnangi Abhinav smashed 49 runs off 36 balls. Panduranga Raju and Shaik Zaheer Abbas dropped quick 22 and 25 runs respectively. It was a vital win for them after losing the opener despite scoring 214.
Sai Venkata Sumith and Chennu Siddhardha picked up 2 wickets each. Kakinada Kings were restricted to 151 in the 2nd innings. Sunshiners lost their opening game against the table-toppers. They failed to defend 214 runs on Wednesday. Bowling still need an improvement considering the big games ahead. In both games, their middle-order was under pressure. Vijayawada mostly rely on their top-order and powerplay abilities. Early blow in first 6 overs can trouble them.
Ashwin Hebbar scored a classic century in the game. He could be a player to watch out for. He has 135 runs in two games so far. We back him to pick two wickets in the upcoming game. Lalith Mohan is also a solid player who can help them to get early wickets. Vijayawada’s average batting score is 208 runs. It means their batting is their strongest part.
Vijayawada Sunshiners Predicted Playing XI:
K Ashwin Hebbar (c), Munnangi Abhinav, Harsha Vardhan Maddila, DB Prasanth Kumar, Pinninti Tejaswi, Panduranga Raju (wk), Shaik Zaheer Abbas, Chennu Siddhardha, Sai Venkata Sumith, Yarragunta Pramod, A Lalith Mohan

Simhadri Vizag Lions Preview
Simhadri Vizag Lions head into Sunday’s encounter back off a tournament-high 104 runs loss to the table toppers. They are in deep trouble after three straight defeats in the competition. Bhimavaram Bulls posted 219/ 7 in 20 overs and the Lions were bowled out for 115. They were 41 for 5 in the 8th over. It was a complete batting failure. This defeat also hurt their NRR.
Earlier, they lost to Amravati Royals in a same manner. The Lions need to look out at their batting debacle. The top order is not contributing for them. They are not adapting to the conditions. In previous game, they couldn’t capitalise the powerplay. They are losing at least two wickets in powerplay this year. Their average batting score in the last two games is 141.
Simhadri are currently sitting at the bottom spot of the 2026 Andhra Premier League. Tripurana Vijay could be a player to watch out for. He has 83 runs in 3 games but deserves a big knock. We back him to score above 25 runs in the competition. If they lose one more game, they will be almost eliminated from the race of top four.
