Mangalore Dragons (MD) and Shivamogga Lions (SL) are at the bottom of the ongoing Maharaja T20 Trophy 2024 points table. Only a miracle can help them qualify for the semi-finals but for this, both teams need to win all their remaining matches in the competition. Notably, Mangalore have lost three out of their last four matches, while one of them ended on level terms as rain played spoilsport.
On the other hand, Shivamogga stunned the league leaders Hubli Tigers in their last match. Abhinav Manohar reigned supreme as he smashed 70 runs off 27 balls, which helped the Nihal Ullal-led side win the match by six wickets. However, their overall performance in the competition is very concerning but the win should give them some confidence.
