The Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 2022 is all set to kick off today as the opening encounter will see Hubli Tigers and Mangalore United taking on each other. The match is scheduled to begin at 3:00 PM IST on Sunday, August 7, 2022, at Srikantadatta Narasimha Raja Wadiyar Ground, Mysore.
Hubli Tigers
The Tigers will turn out to be a force to reckon with in the match as they have many impactful players in their squad. All eyes will be on the star player of the team, Abhimanyu Mithun, who announced his retirement from all forms of cricket in October last year but the hunger for cricket is still evident in his eyes. The right-arm medium bowler has represented India in four Tests and five ODIs. The 32-year-old has delivered time and again while playing for Karnataka as well.
Some other talented players like Koushik V and Luvnith Sisodia are also expected to be the star of the show in the inaugural edition of the T20 tournament.
Probable Playing XI: Abhimanyu Mithun, Luvnith Sisodia (wk), Koushik V, Liyan Khan, Naveen MG, Anand Doddamani, Shivkumar BU, Tushar Singh, Akshan Rao, Zahoor Farooqi, Rohan Naveen
Mangalore United
The United, on the other hand, will also be strong contenders coming into the match. They have the services of star-batter Abhinav Manohar who showcased his excellent hitting ability while playing for the Hyderabad franchise in the 2022 edition of the Indian T20 League.
They also have the services of Aneeshwar Gautam at their disposal, who was a part of the U19 World Cup 2022. The United have also roped in Stuart Binny as their head coach.
