MWS vs SML Team Previews

Mysuru Warriors

Hubli Tigers managed to just escape a scare from Warriors in their last match, which took them flying to the second spot in the points table, separated from Bengaluru Blasters only on the net run rate.

Bowling first, their quick bowlers were expensive up front and at the death as VV Kumar and PA Jain were taken for over an economy rate of over ten runs an over. Bharath and Suchith were impressive as they returned with the figures of 4-0-33-2 and 4-0-26-1 respectively, but apart from that, it was all Mohammad Taha show who took the Tigers to 182.

The Warriors actually started off pretty well with the chase but stumbled just before the finishing line. They got off to a flyer, courtesy Arjun Hoysala, and RR Bhatkal's short but quick innings. After being at 53 for 1 in five overs, they were soon reduced to 108-6 in 13, losing both wickets as well as momentum in the process. Shoaib Manager ended up to be their lone warrior with no support from others as they eventually fell short by three runs. Manager played a 58-run knock which took just 31 deliveries.

Arjun Hoysala, Raju Bhatkal, Amit Verma, Shoaib Manager, Jagadeesha Suchith, Kushal Wadhwani, NP Bhareth, Srinivas Sharath, SP Manjunath, Vyshak Vijaykumar, Prateek Jain.


Shivamogga Lions

The Lions played their first match in this edition just around the same time as Warriors. While the latter have done well and have looked solid, the Lions have failed to instill confidence in both their players and fans. With two losses in two matches, they'd be desperate for a win here so as to keep a realistic qualification chance alive.

They lost their last match to Bengaluru Blasters where they failed to put up a threatening total batting first. Their bowlers couldn't have done much against powerful Blasters' lineup by taking the match to the last over was a commendable job done by them.

Batting first, the Lions somehow limped to a respectable score of 146 in the allotted 20 overs. At one time, it appeared that they could get something out of the match as they had Blasters on the mat with 4 down for 40 on the board. The situation was aggravated further as they got 6 for 84. However, lack of intelligent death bowling coupled with poor decisions led to their downfall.

BR Sharath, Nihal Ullal, Rohit Kumar, Nishanth Shekhawat, Rongsen Jonathan, Anirudha Joshi, Prithviraj Shekawat, Aditya Somanna, K Kamath, Abhimanyu Mithun, K Hoysala.
