Fazilka Falcons vs Amritsar Soormas 7th Match Odds

Match-Winner Odds

Fazilka Falcons hold a slight edge in the match-winner market, largely on the back of their dominant opening win. The gap is not wide though, since Amritsar’s explosive batting keeps this contest tightly contested on paper.

Points Table and Tournament Context

Fazilka Falcons’ Position

Fazilka Falcons sit near the top of the early standings with one win from one match, giving them two points and a strong net run rate of plus 1.518.

That win came in a dominant chase against Jalandhar Warriors, and it has set them up nicely ahead of this contest.

Amritsar Soormas’ Position

Fazilka Falcons Match Preview

Recent Form

Fazilka opened their campaign with a comfortable win over Jalandhar Warriors, chasing down 188 in just 17.4 overs to win by eight wickets. It was a complete performance, with both the top order and the bowling attack playing their part in a total team effort.

Fazilka Falcons Batting

Vihaan Malhotra was the standout name in that win, finishing unbeaten on 103 off just 52 balls with 10 fours and 5 sixes.

Sanvir Singh also chipped in with an unbeaten 51 off 29 balls, and together they show Fazilka have both the firepower and the composure to chase big totals.

• Vihaan Malhotra: unbeaten 103 off 52 balls, including 10 fours and 5 sixes
• Sanvir Singh: unbeaten 51 off 29 balls, captain and middle-order anchor
• Strong chasing ability shown by an aggressive, controlled top order

Fazilka Falcons Bowling

Navpreet Singh led the bowling effort with three wickets in the opener, while Raghu Sharma and Kirandeep Singh picked up two wickets each.

The bigger test comes now, since Amritsar’s top order has already shown it can put up scores well past 250 this season.

• Navpreet Singh: three wickets in the opening match
• Raghu Sharma and Kirandeep Singh: two wickets each in the same game
• The unit as a whole will need to be sharper to contain Amritsar’s power hitters

Fazilka Falcons Strengths and Weaknesses

Fazilka go into this match with real momentum, though a much tougher batting lineup awaits them this time around.

• Strength: winning momentum and a complete performance in their opener
• Strength: proven chasing ability against a big target
• Strength: early wicket-taking options across the bowling unit
• Weakness: yet to be tested against a genuinely explosive top order
• Weakness: containing Amritsar’s power hitters will be a much bigger challenge than their first game

Amritsar Soormas Match Preview

Recent Form

Amritsar Soormas have lost both their matches so far despite posting massive totals in each. They scored 258 for 10 against Mohali Kings but saw the target chased down, and then put up 264 for 5 against Jalandhar Warriors only for that total to be chased as well. The pattern is clear: the batting has delivered, but the bowling has not been able to defend it.

Amritsar Soormas Batting

Abhishek Sharma set the tone in the opener with a rapid 77 off just 26 balls, and he has 159 runs across his two innings so far.

Naman Dhir has been just as important, with 164 runs in two innings including a run-a-ball century of 117 off 56 balls that included 7 fours and 10 sixes.

Between them, Amritsar have shown they can consistently post totals well past 250.

• Abhishek Sharma: 159 runs in two innings, including 77 off 26 balls in the opener
• Naman Dhir: 164 runs in two innings, including a 117 off 56 balls
• Ability to consistently produce 250-plus totals across both matches so far

Amritsar Soormas Bowling

This is where Amritsar’s season has come undone. They have failed to defend two huge totals, and better control during the middle and death overs will be essential this time. Mayank Markande and Akash Pandey remain their most important wicket-taking options with the ball.

• Mayank Markande: key spin option who can control the middle overs
• Akash Pandey: among the more used bowlers so far this season
• The bowling unit as a whole needs far better control in the middle and death overs

Amritsar Soormas Strengths and Weaknesses

Amritsar’s numbers this season sum up a side full of batting talent that has not yet found a way to close matches out.

• Strength: explosive batting depth capable of 250-plus totals
• Strength: Abhishek Sharma and Naman Dhir both in outstanding early form
• Strength: Mayank Markande offers control on a true, pace-friendly surface
• Weakness: winless in two matches despite two huge totals
• Weakness: bowling attack has been unable to defend big scores so far

Head to Head Record

This is the first ever meeting between Fazilka Falcons and Amritsar Soormas, since the Sher-E-Punjab T20 League 2026 is the tournament’s debut season. With no head to head record to draw on, current tournament form becomes the more reliable guide to how this match might unfold.

Probable Playing XI

Both sides are expected to make only minor changes, if any, from the combinations that featured in their most recent matches. Final teams will be confirmed once the toss is done.

Fazilka Falcons Probable XI

Shubman Gill remains associated with the franchise as a marquee name, though his availability for this particular match should be confirmed closer to the toss.

Amritsar Soormas Probable XI

Amritsar have further depth in reserve, including Ishan Sood and Adhiraj Singh Mangat, if the team management wants to freshen up the batting order.

Key Players to Watch

A handful of names look set to have the biggest say in how this high-scoring contest plays out.

• Vihaan Malhotra: 103 runs in the opening match, and a genuine threat on a batting-friendly surface.
• Sanvir Singh: 51 not out in the opener, and important as both captain and finisher.
• Navpreet Singh: three wickets in the first match, and Fazilka’s leading bowling option.
• Abhishek Sharma: 77 off 26 balls in the opener, an explosive left-handed threat at the top.
• Naman Dhir: 164 runs across two innings, including a century, and Amritsar’s most in-form batter.
• Mayank Markande: Amritsar’s key spinner and their best hope of controlling the middle overs.

Pitch Report – PCA IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali

The Mohali pitch continues to play fast with good bounce, offering true carry that lets batters play their strokes freely once they settle in. Seamers can find some assistance early on, but conditions clearly favour aggressive batting for the majority of the innings.

Season venue numbers put the average first-innings total at 169 and the average second-innings total at 157, both from an average of 6 wickets falling per innings and a strike rate of around 143.

It is worth noting that individual matches at this venue have already gone well past these averages, with totals of 258, 264, 192 and 187 recorded in the tournament’s opening week, so a much bigger total than the season average would not be a surprise in this match.

• Fast and bouncy surface with true carry for stroke-makers
• Early seam movement possible before the pitch settles down
• Spin can play a role through the middle overs once the ball gets older
• Dew under lights could give a further boost to the side chasing

Weather Report – Mohali

Match day conditions in Mohali are expected to stay warm, with daytime temperatures reaching around 31 to 32 degrees Celsius.

Live conditions checked closer to the match showed a meaningfully higher chance of rain than some earlier previews suggested, so this is one area worth watching through the day.

Given the notably higher rain probability picked up in a same-day check, a brief interruption cannot be ruled out, even though a full 20 over contest remains the more likely outcome.

Toss Prediction

Who Will Win the Toss?

No strong toss favourite is indicated by current data, so this is best treated as an even contest between the two captains. Whichever side does win it is expected to have a clear plan already in mind given how conditions have played out so far this tournament.

What Should the Toss Winner Choose?

Bowling first is expected to be the preferred option at Mohali under lights. Dew tends to make the ball skid onto the bat more easily later in the evening, and that has generally made chasing the more comfortable option across the tournament so far.

Score Prediction

Fazilka Falcons Expected Score

Based on the Mohali scoring pattern this season, a first-innings total in the 185 to 205 range looks realistic for Fazilka if they bat first, with their in-form top order capable of pushing well beyond that if Vihaan Malhotra gets going early.

Amritsar Soormas Expected Score

Amritsar’s top order has already shown it can produce 250-plus totals twice this season, so a score in a similar range remains well within reach if Abhishek Sharma and Naman Dhir both fire together.

Given how both teams have batted so far this season, another high-scoring contest looks like the most likely outcome at Mohali.

Winning Probability

Fazilka Falcons Win Probability

Fazilka’s higher probability comes down to their current form and a successful opening chase that showed both batting depth and bowling contribution working together as a unit.

Amritsar Soormas Win Probability

Amritsar’s batting firepower keeps them firmly in contention despite two defeats. If Abhishek Sharma and Naman Dhir both click in the same innings, they have shown they can post or chase almost any total at this venue.

Why Fazilka Falcons Have an Edge

• Winning momentum from a dominant opening performance
• Proven chasing ability against a target of 188
• A more complete performance so far, with both bat and ball contributing
• Slightly better balance between batting and bowling than Amritsar have shown to date

Key Player Matchups

These individual battles are likely to decide the momentum of the match once it gets underway.

Fazilka Falcons vs Amritsar Soormas Match Prediction

Fazilka Falcons are the predicted winners of Match 7. Their winning start, a complete performance with both bat and ball, and the extra confidence that comes from a big chase all point in their favour heading into this contest on a ground that continues to reward good batting.

Amritsar Soormas cannot be underestimated despite being winless. Their batting has produced two scores past 250 already this season, and if Abhishek Sharma and Naman Dhir click together again, they are more than capable of chasing down whatever Fazilka put up.

Expect another high-scoring encounter, with the chasing side likely to hold a slight edge given the conditions at Mohali.
