Hubli Tigers vs Mangalore Dragons Chance of Winning

The Hubli Tigers head into the finals after a resounding victory against the Mangalore Dragons, the very team they will face again for the championship. The Tigers' batting performance was explosive, as they posted a formidable total of 210 for two wickets in their 20 overs. Devdutt Padikkal was the star of the show, narrowly missing a century with an unbeaten 99. He was ably supported by an aggressive knock of 50 from Abhinav Manohar and a quick-fire 37 from Mohammed Taha.

In response, the Mangalore Dragons' batting lineup crumbled under pressure. Hubli's bowlers delivered a fantastic performance, with Ritesh Bhatkal being the most successful, claiming three wickets for just 20 runs. KC Cariappa and Shreesha Achar also chipped in with two wickets each, dismantling the Dragons' chase. The Mangalore Dragons were bowled out for just 100 runs in 16.1 overs, handing the Hubli Tigers a massive 110-run victory and giving them a significant psychological advantage heading into the final match.

After a loss in Qualifier 1, the Mangalore Dragons bounced back with a dominant performance against the Bengaluru Blasters to secure their spot in the finals. The Blasters, batting first, were restricted to a total of 152. The Dragons' bowlers were disciplined, with Shreyas Gopal being the pick of the bowlers, taking three crucial wickets for just 30 runs. Abhilash Shetty and Macneil Noronha also contributed with two wickets each.

Chasing 153 for victory, the Dragons' opening pair of Lochan Gowda and Sharath BR got them off to a flying start with a quick-fire partnership. Sharath BR was particularly aggressive, scoring 43 runs off just 21 balls. Although they lost a few wickets in the middle, Lochan Gowda anchored the innings brilliantly with an unbeaten 62 off 51 balls. He was well supported by Macneil Hadley Noronha's 24. The Dragons chased down the target with five balls to spare, winning by seven wickets and earning their place in the final.

Based on our analysis of both the Hubli Tigers and Mangalore Dragons, the Hubli Tigers have a better chance of winning this contest.

Hubli Tigers vs Mangalore Dragons Top Batters

Devdutt Padikkal to be the Top Batter for the Hubli Tigers

The skipper of the Hubli Tigers, Devdutt Padikkal, scored 99* runs in the last match against the Mangalore Dragons. So far this season, Padikkal has scored 439 runs in 11 matches, averaging 43.90, and has been the top scorer in four of those matches. We expect Padikkal to replicate his performance from the earlier matches and play a match-winning knock against the Mangalore Dragons.

Sharath BR to be the Top Batter for the Mangalore Dragons

Sharath BR has scored 343 runs in 11 matches this season, averaging a solid 34.30. He scored 23 runs in two matches against the Hubli Tigers this season. But since then he has picked up form in the last three matches and is looking in really good touch ahead of the finals with a 45 run knock in the last match against the Bengaluru Blasters. We back Sharath BR to make a huge impact in this crucial match and be the top batter for the Mangalore Dragons.

Hubli Tigers vs Mangalore Dragons Top Bowlers

Yash Raj Punja to be the Top Bowler for the Hubli Tigers

Yash Raj Punja picked up two wickets while conceding 30 runs against the Mangalore Dragons. Punja has been the main bowler and wicket-taker in the middle overs. He has taken 23 wickets in 9 matches this season and was the top bowler for the Hubli Tigers in six of those matches. Given his current bowling form and his wicket-taking ability, we are backing Punja to be the top bowler for the Hubli Tigers.

Krathi Kumar to be the Top Bowler for the Mangalore Dragons

Kranthi Kumar picked up one wicket in the last match against the Bengaluru Blasters. He has been the top bowler for the Mangalore Dragons in seven of the last 10 games. With a total of 25 wickets in 10 matches, he is currently the leading wicket-taker of the season. We are predicting another match-winning performance from him today and expect him to be the top bowler for the Dragons against the Tigers.
