BP vs SL Dream11 Predictions: Shivamogga Lions look to recover from their first defeat as KPL 8 shifts to its second leg today.

After a weeklong opening leg in the Karnataka Premier League, we finally make a soiree to the second destination today with Belagavi Panthers and Shivamogga Lions beginning proceedings in the second leg of the league. The first of two matches on Sunday after a day of no cricket in the league promises to be a humdinger of a clash, one graced by excellent playing conditions.

Dominating the previous leg to end in second place after winning three successive encounters, Shivamogga Lions will be looking to further strengthen their tighthold in the annuls of the league standings when they take on a struggling Belagavi Panthers side. Currently in fifth place, for Belagavi anthers this encounter comes bearing massive ramifications, especially after the side went onto win their first match in their last outing.

Wrenching out of a three match winless run, Belagavi Panthers prevailed in a low scoring encounter against Bengaluru Bulls. Restricting their opponents to just 110, it took Belagavi Panthers all of 12 overs and 2 overs to script a clinical win, one they’ll be looking to resonate against an injured Shivamogga Lions outfits.

The side enter today’s encounter after being damaged severely the last time around, a performance completely unfamiliar of them with the side slumping to 133 in their run chase of 204. The 70-run defeat exposed the gaps in the side, for the first time showing that this side can be defeated, a weakness their opponents for today will be looking to exploit.

Pitch Conditions and Toss Prediction

With this being the first match to be held on this surface in the league, we should have relatively good batting conditions take precedence in this encounter.
