SL vs MD Match Prediction
Shivamogga Lions vs Mangaluru Dragons match prediction: MD’s bowling pair of Kranthi Kumar and Shreyas Gopal have been excellent this season, while Macneil Noronha and BR Sharath have shown consistency in batting.
On the other hand, SL’s batting line-up of Nihal Ullal and Aniruddha Joshi has scored a fair amount of runs, but their bowling and overall form have been weak this season. MD’s head-to-head record (1-0) and better position in the points table (fourth) make them the favorites. SL will have to perform exceptionally well to win.
Based on the statistics, MD’s chances of winning are 70% and SL’s are 30%. If MD bats first and scores 160+, their chances of winning will increase further.
SL can make the match close by taking early wickets or by virtue of Nihal Ullal’s batting. It is likely to be a one-sided match, but SL has a chance to upset the opposition.
