SL vs HT Match Prediction
Shivamogga Lions vs Hubli Tigers Match Prediction: The excellent form of Mohammed Taha and Devdutt Padikkal in HT’s batting, along with the bowling of Yash Punja and KC Cariappa, puts them in a strong position. SL’s batting relies on Tushar Singh and Aniruddha Joshi, but their batting has failed consistently.
V Kaushik’s bowling is their only hope, but it may not be enough against HT. HT’s head-to-head record (8-2) and better season performance (5 wins vs SL’s 0) makes them clear favourites.
Based on the statistics, HT’s chances of winning are 80% and SL’s 20%. If HT bat first and score 160+, their victory is almost certain.
SL will need a big innings from Tushar Singh or early wickets from V Kaushik and Vidhwath Kaverappa. It is likely to be a one-sided contest.
