Hubli Tigers Team News & Playing 11
HT Team News
Hubli Tigers made three changes last time out but they could not change the result – losing for the second time, though maybe not quite as heavily. Consistency might be the key as they look to get back to winning ways – so David Mathias retaining his place after his two wickets, for example.
HT Key Players
Vinay Kumar: Top-scored with 37 from 24 balls last time out – just one more innings like his might have swung the game. The Karnataka man is going to be key with bat and ball if that is anything to go by.
Mitrakanth Yadav: Took 2-26 against Shivamogga Lions in the first game and followed that up with impressive figures of 2-6 last time out with his orthodox slow left-arm bowling.
KB Pawan: Started the tournament with 53 against Shivamogga Lions and will want to bounce back after his duck last time out. He is similarly inconsistent for Nagaland too.
HT Team Form
Hubli Tigers have lost both matches so far. KB Pawan’s half-century helped them to 154 all out against Shivamogga Lions but that proved well below par in a six-wicket defeat.
They scored the same against Bellary Tuskers, this time for the loss of nine wickets – it meant a nine-run defeat and two defeats from two games.

Mohammed Taha, M Vishwanathan (wk), Luvnith Sisodia, Krishnan Shrijith, KB Pawan, Vinay Kumar (c), Praveen Dubey, David Mathias, Aditya Somanna, Mitrakanth Yadav, Vidyadhar Patil
Belagavi Panthers Team News & Playing 11
BP Team News
Though they were struggling for a breakthrough with the ball last time out, it is likely to be the same Panthers team that faces Hubli Tigers after the rain interrupted the match with Mysuru Warriors. Manish Pandey came into the team last time out, having finished in the Caribbean with India.
BP Key Players
Zahoor Farooqi: Two wickets and a run-out off the final ball in the first game and figures of 1-6 from his two overs last time out show his quality.
Manish Pandey: One of the most notable players in this tournament, he was a little short of runs for India in the West Indies but his quality is not doubted. He has a T20i average of 37.66 and strike rate of 121.50.
Kaunain Abbas: Helped Bijapur Bulls to win the competition last season and is now the captain and wicket-keeper for the Panthers.
BP Team Form
Belagavi Panthers suffered a narrow defeat to Bellary Tuskers first up – posting 138/8 in reply to 143/5 – but they could not bounce back last time because of the weather. They had bowled 11 overs against Mysuru Warriors, conceding 82/1, when the rain came down.
Belagavi Panthers Predicted Playing 11
Ravikumar Samarth, Stalin Hoover, Kaunain Abbas (c, wk), Manish Pandey, Dikshansu Negi, Abihnav Manohar, Rithesh Bhatkal, Arshdeep Singh, Shubhang Hegde, D Avinash, Zahoor Farooqi
