Gulbarga Mystics are all set to face Shivamogga Lions in Match No. 17 of the ongoing Maharaja T20 Trophy 2025 at the Srikantadatta Narasimha Raja Wadeyar Ground in Mysore on Tuesday, August 19. Notably, Gulbarga will play against Hubli Tigers on August 18 in Match No. 16.

Gulbarga has had a start-stop season so far, registering two wins in four games. The Vijaykumar Vyshak-led team is currently holding the fourth spot in the points table, and they would hope to clinch more wins as they move forward in the competition.

On the other hand, Shivamogga Lions are yet to open their account after losing four out of five games, and one of their matches ended without a result. The team currently sits at the bottom of the table but will be looking to give a tough fight in the upcoming contest.

The surface at the Srikantadatta Narasimha Raja Wadeyar Ground, Mysore, is expected to retain some moisture due to recent rains. This could make the ball come onto the bat a bit slower, forcing batters to be cautious with their stroke play. Bowlers, meanwhile, will have an opportunity to capitalise by maintaining disciplined lines and lengths, which could make it easier to pick up crucial breakthroughs.

Luvnith Sisodia(w), Nikin Jose, Prajwal Pavan, Smaran Ravichandran, Krishnamurthy Siddharth, Prithviraj Shekhawat, Shashi Kumar K, Praveen Dubey, Vijaykumar Vyshak(c), Lavish Kaushal, Monish Reddy

Aneeshwar Gautam, Nihal Ullal(w/c), Hardik Raj, Aniruddha Joshi, Tushar Singh, Avinash D, Rohit Kumar K, Dhruv Prabhakar, Anand Doddamani, Vasuki Koushik, Vidhwath Kaverappa

Gulbarga Mystics' batter Luvnith Sisodia will be the one to watch out for in the upcoming contest. The left-handed batter is currently the leading run-scorer of his team in the ongoing tournament with 120 runs in four innings at an average of 40. He will once again have the responsibility to take his team over the line.

Gulbarga skipper Vijaykumar Vyshak will be important with the ball. His spell, especially the overs inside the powerplay, will be crucial in getting early breakthroughs. With seven wickets to his name so far in the tournament, Vyshak has consistently picked wickets and will look to replicate his performances to guide the team towards another win.
