Mysore Warriors(MW) are all set to face Shivamogga Lions (SL) in match No. 14 of the ongoing Maharaja Trophy 2025 at the Srikantadatta Narasimha Raja Wadeyar Ground in Mysore on Sunday, August 17.

The defending champions, Mysore, are struggling this season, having managed only one win from their four games. They suffered defeats in two encounters, while one of them ended without a result. Manish Pandey and Co. will look to get back to winning ways on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Shivamogga Lions (SL) are languishing at the foot of the table, at No. 6. They have not been able to register a single win under their belt so far in the tournament after playing four games. Sunday could be the law of averages they are desperately waiting for.

If rain does not play a role, the captain who wins the toss could also opt to bowl first. Batters will be advised to make good use of the powerplay overs. Bowlers will have to be very careful with the lines and length they are bowling. The pitches have been phenomenal for the batters, and that could continue.

SU Karthik, Kathik CA, Lankesh KS, Harshil Dharmani, Manish Pandey (C), M Venkatesh, Sumit Kumar (WK), Yashovardhan Parantap, Krishnappa Gowtham, Shikhar Shetty, LR Kumar.

Dhruv Prabhakar, Nilah Ullal (C & WK), Tushar Singh, Rohit Kumar K, Aneeshwar Gauta, Aniruddha Joshi, Hardik Raj, Avinash D, Anand Doddamani, V Koushik, Vidhwath Kaverappa.

It is high time the experienced Manish Pandey takes more responsibility. He has not been in great nick so far. However, Pandey is expected to bounce back strongly on Sunday. He will be the batter to watch out for in the Indian team.

KC Cariappa has picked up four wickets from three games at an average of 22.75. He has improved his game consistently over the years. He will look to fire on all cylinders on Sunday and control the middle phase of the innings.
