In Match No. 5 of the Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 2026, Mysore Warriors take on Hubli Tigers at the Srikantadatta Narasimha Raja Wadeyar Ground in Mysore. Both teams enter the clash with different recent histories. While Mysore Warriors are looking to recover from a disappointing campaign last season and a heavy defeat to Shivamogga Yodhas earlier in the tournament, Hubli Tigers arrive with plenty of confidence after being one of the strongest sides in 2025.

What to expect from MW vs HT match?
Mysore Warriors will be desperate for a response after being blown away by 90 runs in their previous outing. Devdutt Padikkal remains their biggest batting attraction, while Karthik S will be important at the top of the order. The Warriors also possess quality with the ball through Vijaykumar Vyshak, Prasidh Krishna and Manoj Bhandage, making them a dangerous side despite recent struggles. However, Krishna won’t play, as he just recently served India in the third ODI vs Afghanistan and was mightily impressive.
Hubli Tigers, meanwhile, have developed a habit of winning games. Their batting revolves around the explosive Abhinav Manohar, who has been among the most destructive players in the competition over the last year. Mohammed Taha and Manvanth Kumar add depth.
The Mysore surface offers value for stroke-makers but can assist seamers early in the innings. Another high-scoring encounter could be on the cards.

Who will win MW vs HT match in Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20?
Hubli Tigers have the momentum heading into this clash. They were one of the best sides last season and have already shown they know how to handle pressure situations. Abhinav Manohar remains the key player and can change the course of the game in a matter of overs.
Mysore Warriors have the better overall head-to-head record and enough quality to spring a surprise, especially with players like Padikkal, Vyshak and Prasidh Krishna in their ranks. However, based on current form and recent meetings between the two sides, Hubli Tigers look slightly better placed to walk away with the two points.
