Mangalore Dragons vs Shivamogga Lions T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Maharaja Trophy 2023
Mangalore Dragons will take on Shivamogga Lions in game 3 of the Maharaja Trophy 2023. The game will be played at M Chinnaswami Stadium in Bengaluru and will start at 1:00 PM IST on August 14.
Both teams have shuffled their squad and will aim for the elite Maharaja trophy title. Mangalore Dragons did not have a great season last year and failed to reach the playoffs after losing six of the 10 games. They have roped in good players like Nikin Jose, Rohan Patil, and Krishnappa Gowtham who are capable to change the fortunes of the team.
Meanwhile, Shivamogga Lions also had a poor run last year, losing seven of the 10 matches. The team will have players like Rohan Kadam, Nihal Ullah, Shreyas Gopal, and Abhinav Manohar who are match-winners on their day.
