Shivamogga Lions take on Mangalore Dragons in the 23rd match of the 2023 Maharaja Trophy on Thursday, August 24.

Mysore Warriors' winning streak of four games finally came to an end at the hands of Shivamogga, who had been struggling to find their footing with three losses in a row.

The match saw some sensational shots by Nihal Ullal, and Manohar's contributions further strengthened the top-order partnerships.

Although Ullal and Manohar were dismissed later, S Shivaraj's sixes in the final overs proved to be the turning point. Shivamogga's persistence was on full display as they managed to secure the win in the end, heightening the intensity of the semifinal race in a highly competitive table.

The Warriors, meanwhile, held a strong lead over the Dragons thanks to their impressive performance on the field, leaving the Dragons with a disappointing score of just 140.

The bowlers managed to limit the opposition as the Dragons were unable to keep the momentum going. Lankesh's fierce batting, especially against spin, proved to be a crucial factor in securing the Warriors' victory.

The clash between Shivamogga Lions and Mangalore Dragons will surely add to the drama of the knockout race.
