The Warriors, led by their inspirational skipper Karun Nair, finished second on the points table at the end of the league phase.

Mysuru are coming off two consecutive wins and will be high on confidence heading into the knockout fixture because of their excellent record in the tournament against the Tigers.
In their first meeting with Hubli in this year’s competition, Mysuru emerged victorious by 56 runs. Earlier this week, they faced each other once again and Mysuru registered another comfortable win by a 74-run margin.
Manish Pandey-led also won six and lost four out of their 10 games in the round-robin phase of the tournament. However, their net run-rate (NRR) of -0.540 placed them at No. 3 behind Mysuru, who finished with an NRR of +0.687.

Pitch Report
The M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is known for producing absolute belters and the reputation hasn’t been harmed whatsoever in the Maharaja T20 Trophy 2024. Earlier this week, Bengaluru Blasters chased down a mammoth target of 228 against Shivamogga Lions. So no target is safe on the flat tracks and the short boundaries the venue offers. Also, the captain who wins the toss would prefer chasing as it has been the more fruitful option on this ground in the tournament.

Hubli Tigers:
Probable Best Performers from MW vs HT
Probable Best Batter: Karun Nair
The Mysuru captain has led from the front, as he is the second-highest run-getter in the tournament, only behind Abhinav Manohar. The discarded India cricketer has smashed 490 runs from 10 matches at an average of 61.25 and a strike rate of 187.74. Karun Nair has also scored four half-centuries so far and if he gets himself set at the crease, Hubli Tigers bowlers will be in for a lot of trouble.
Probable Best Bowler: LR Kumar
Hubli Tigers’ pacer LR Kumar could be the bowler to watch out for in the upcoming encounter against the Mysuru Warriors. In eight matches, he has bagged 14 wickets at an average of 18.79. He will be confident of making a significant impact in the do-or-die fixture with the ball in his hand.
