The pitch at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru has surprisingly favored high-scoring games during the afternoon matches of this tournament. The frequent drizzles in the city have made the conditions favorable for batsmen, with the ball coming onto the bat more easily than usual. This has been reflected in the outcomes, with six out of the eight afternoon games being won by the teams that chose to chase.
The Mysore and Shivamogga have faced each other 10 times in the history of the Maharaja Cup. The Warriors hold the upper hand with 6 victories, while the Lions have managed to win 4 of these encounters. There have been no matches ending in a no result. The first-ever fixture between these two teams took place on September 3, 2015, and their most recent clash was on August 15, 2024.
Mysore | Shivamogga |
C. A. Karthik | B. Mohith |
S. U. Karthik | N. Ullal (c/wk) |
K. Nair (c) | K. Rohit |
S. Dravid | H. Raj |
S. Kumar (wk) | D. Prabhakar |

J. Suchith | S. Shivaraj |
K. Gowtham | A. Mani |
H. Dharmani | D. Avinash |
V. Patil | V. Koushik |
D. Gowda | T. Pradeep |
Probable Best Batter: K. Nair
K. Nair, the captain of the Mysore, has found his form after a slow start in the tournament. Despite not capitalizing on his starts in the first two games, he has made a significant impact in the last couple of matches, scoring 66 and an unbeaten 124*. Yesterday again Nair was in top form against Hubli scoring 66 off just 36 balls.
Another Batter: A. Manohar
While his team has lost all 5 games but Manohar consistency is the one we should be talking about. Sitting second on the top runs scorer in Maharaj Cup 2024 behind K.Nair. Manohar scored a total of 213 runs in 5 innings with an average of 71.
Probable Best Bowler: V. Patil
V. Patil, the right-arm medium pacer, has been a consistent wicket-taker for the Mysore taking 8 wickets so far in this tournament. Yesterday against Hubli, Patil again took 2 wickets.
Another Bowler: J. Suchith
J. Suchith is an slow left arm orthodox bowler who can trouble the Shivamogga team. He took 4 wickets yesterday against Hubli taking the overall tally to 8 wickets in this tournament.
As Shivamogga is sitting currently at the bottom with 0 points, it’s better to go with 7 Mysuru players and 4 Shivamogga players. Apart from Hardik and Manohar, it’s better not to select any other batsman from Shivamogga team
Karun and Manohar should be ideal captain and vice captain choices for Mysuru vs Shivamogga as both being the top 2 highest run scorer of this tournament. As this is a batting surface so go with K. Nair as captain and Manohar as vice captain.
