Tungabhadra Warriors (TBW) lock horns with Vijayawada Sunshiners (VSS) in an important clash in the Andhra Premier League (APL) 2025 at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Monday, August 18.

The Warriors have played five matches, winning three and losing two. They are coming into this contest on the back of back-to-back wins in rain-curtailed games. A win on Monday will help them secure qualification and also take them on the brink of a top-two finish.

Meanwhile, Vijayawada Sunshiners have played four matches and have two wins under their belt. Their only defeat came to Simhadri Vizag Lions. In their most recent clash, which was against Bhimavaram Bulls, the Ashwin Hebbar-led side had to settle with one point as the match ended without a result.

Batters have been on a roll at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium as the pitches have been brilliant for batting. The ball has come on to the bat nicely, helping stroke-players in showing their skills. The captain who wins the toss would want to bowl first as defending totals hasn't been easy.
