Shivamogga Lions Team News & Playing 11
SL Team News
Shivamogga Lions managed to pick a win in their last game and the remaining games are very important for them. They are likely to field the same team.
SL Key Players
- Nihal Ullal - Nihal played a 45-run knock against the Warriors. He has played a couple of other good innings as well but the team needs more consistency from him given that he bats in the top order.
- Abhinav Manohar – Abhinav Manohar has also blown hot and cold in the tournament. He is an important member of the batting lineup and had a good run last year. He needs to find form and consistency too.
- Shreyas Gopal – Shreyas Gopal has been economical but has only taken seven wickets in as many games. The team needs more from him.
SL Team Form
The Lions managed to end their three-match losing streak and beat the Mysore Warriors in the last game.

Mangalore Dragons has backed the same set of players for most of the tournament and we don’t think they will make significant changes at this crucial juncture. No injuries are reported.

- Sharath BR – Sharath BR has scored a century in the Maharaja Trophy 2023 and has over 200 runs for the team. He needs to contribute heavily as we move to the business end of the tournament.
