Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 2026: Match 7, GBM vs SMY Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between GBM vs SMY?

The Gulbarga Mystics (GBM) will play their second match in two days when they take on the Shivamogga Yodhas (SMY) in Match 7 of the Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 2026 on Tuesday, June 23, as part of a double header.

GBM will come into the game after playing against defending champions Coastal Kings Mangaluru a day before their clash against the Yodhas. They did lose their opening game of the season, falling to a six-wicket loss at the hands of Kalyani Bengaluru Blasters.

SMY, on the other hand, have already played twice this season with a 50-50 record. They suffered a defeat to the Kalyani Bengaluru Blasters in their previous game after beating Mysore Warriors in their opening match of the new campaign.

The Srikantadatta Narasimha Raja Wadeyar Ground in Mysore provides batting-friendly conditions, with teams putting a total on the board in the first innings expected to reach 200. The only concern, however, is the Karnataka weather, which tends to play its part for all the wrong reasons, with a 60 per cent chance of precipitation on Tuesday.

Manish Pandey (C), Lochan Gowda (WK), Prakhar Chaturvedi, Aarav Mahesh, Thippa Reddy, Dhruv Prabhakar, Macneil Noronha, Aaditya Nair, Ronit More, Paras Gurbax Arya, Kranthi Kumar

Luvnith Sisodia (WK), Tushar Singh, Aneesh KV, Smaran Ravichandran (C), Harshil Dharmani, Shreesha Achar, Yash Raj Punja, Yashovardhan Parantap, Naveen MG, Mohsin Khan, Abhilash Shetty

During these early stages of the competition, Luvnith Sisodia has established himself as the batter to watch out for. The left-handed batter has scored 69 runs from two matches, including hitting 58 during the Yodhas' opening game of the season against Mysore Warriors, helping them to a 90-run victory.

Yash Raj Punja, who represented the Rajasthan Royals in the 2026 Indian Premier League, has made a decent start to the 2026 Maharaja Trophy. The leg spinner has taken four wickets from his first two matches of the tournament, bowling at an economy rate of 8.91.
