The Shivamogga Yodhas (SMY) will lock horns with the Mysore Warriors (MW) in the Eliminator of the Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 2026 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Friday, July 10. With a place in Qualifier 2 at stake, both teams will be eager to keep their title hopes alive.

Shivamogga Yodhas finished third on the points table with 10 points from 10 matches, registering five wins and suffering five defeats. Despite an inconsistent league stage, they sealed a playoff berth after winning crucial matches towards the business end of the tournament.

Mysore Warriors, meanwhile, secured the fourth and final playoff spot with nine points from 10 matches. They managed four wins and suffered five losses, while one of their fixtures ended without a result.

The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium has remained a batting-friendly venue throughout the tournament. The short boundaries and true bounce allow batters to play their shots freely, making totals above 180 quite common. With this match being played in the afternoon, the spinners might play an important role.

Luvnith Sisodia(c), Tushar Singh, Naveen MG, Aneesh KV, Harshil Dharmani, Sujay Sateri(w), Yashovardhan Parantap, Shreesha Achar, Abhilash Shetty, Yadugiri Yadav S, Dhanush Gowda

Luvnith Sisodia has been one of the standout performers in the tournament. The aggressive opener has consistently provided brisk starts for Shivamogga and remains among the leading run-getters this season. His ability to dominate the powerplay overs could prove crucial in a high-pressure knockout fixture.

The experienced pacer and Warriors' captain Vijaykumar Vyshak will be the bowler to watch out for in this contest. He is having a good season with the ball, picking up 10 wickets in 10 matches, with a bowling average of 29.90. In a crucial encounter, he would want to step up for his side.
