Maharaja Trophy 2024: Match 27, MD vs MW Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between MD vs MW?

Mangalore Dragons (MD) lock horns with Mysuru Warriors (MW) in match No. 27 of the Maharaja Trophy 2024 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Wednesday, August 28.

Mysuru Warriors have already booked their spot in the semifinals and will look to finish their league phase with a win against a hapless Mangalore side. Karun Nair's men suffered two consecutive defeats before registering a thumping win in their last game against Hubli Tigers by 74 runs. The Warriors have won five games and lost four out of the nine they have played.

Meanwhile, Shreyas Gopal-led Mangalore are languishing at the bottom of the table after winning just one out of their eight games. They have lost six matches, while one of their encounters ended without a result. Their only win in the tournament came in their second game against Shivamogga Lions. Mangalore have already been eliminated from the tournament and will play their last two league matches for pride.

Pitch Report:

The M Chinnaswamy is regarded as a batting paradise and it has lived up to its reputation this season. Also, it is a ground which is favourable for chasing teams. Defending scores are difficult, with the pitch showing no signs of deterioration and the boundaries being on the shorter side. The powerplay overs are going to be crucial as teams will look to get as many runs as possible. Batting will get a bit easier in the second innings under lights and that is another reason why chasing is going to be the better option for the captain who wins the toss.

The Mysuru captain has been in scintillating form so far in the tournament. He is second on the list of leading run-getters, having amassed 426 runs from nine innings at an average of 60.86 and a strike rate of 185.22.

His economy rate is above 9, which is decent on the flat batting tracks at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. If he keeps chipping in with important wickets like in the previous games, Nair won't be too perturbed with his economy rate.
