Welcome to another exciting day of T20 cricket! The Sher-E-Punjab T20 2026 begins with Amritsar Soormas taking on Mohali Kings at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali. With both sides starting their campaign today, there is no tournament form to separate them, so squad roles, venue conditions and the confirmed playing XIs will be especially important for fantasy players looking to build the best AMR vs MOH Fantasy Team.
This is the opening match of the tournament, so neither team has a points-table advantage. The official tournament schedule lists Amritsar Soormas vs Mohali Kings as Match 1 on August 30 at 8:00 PM IST. Both teams currently have zero matches, zero wins and zero points.

Squad Analysis
Amritsar Soormas
Amritsar’s squad is headlined by Abhishek Sharma, with Mayank Markande and Naman Dhir also among the key names. The squad listed for the match also includes Rahul Kumar, Sahil Khan, Jashanpreet Singh, Dhruv Rahul Jindal, Reavan Preet Singh, Prabhjit Singh, Ishan Sood, Adhiraj Singh Mangat, Abhay Choudhary, Dhrub Bhagania, Shubham Rana, Sahaj Dhawan, Ishmeet Singh Sandhu, Navneet Virk, Akash Pandey, Vaibhav Kalra and Jaipartap Singh Johal.
For fantasy purposes, Abhishek Sharma, Naman Dhir and Mayank Markande stand out from the available squad because of their established all-round or match-impact profiles. The actual fantasy value of the remaining players will depend on the confirmed XI and batting or bowling position.
Mohali Kings
The 15-player Mohali Kings squad shown for this match is: A Singh, Yuvraj Maan, G S Sra, K Chaudhary, T Singh, R Singh (captain), Sagar Virk, Aryan Bhatia, S Dhaliwal, M Johal, Harpreet Brar, J S Paul, Ayush Goyal, H Singh and N S Pandita.
The squad roles shown are five batters, five all-rounders, two spinners and three pacers. R Singh is listed as captain and an all-rounder. Sagar Virk, Aryan Bhatia, S Dhaliwal and M Johal are also listed as all-rounders, while Harpreet Brar and J S Paul are the specialist spinners.
AMR vs MOH Head-to-Head Record
There is no previous Sher-E-Punjab T20 head-to-head record between these two teams because this is the first scheduled meeting in the competition.
Pitch Report
The PCA IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali has produced high-scoring T20 cricket in its recent listed matches. The recent venue results include 205/6 in 19.4 overs in the Punjab T20 2024 final, 224/6 in a semi-final and 203/8 in another semi-final.
The venue data for the last 10 matches shows 91 wickets for pace bowlers and 46 for spinners. That is a clear numerical advantage for pace, so seamers should remain important fantasy options, particularly if they are confirmed to bowl in the powerplay or at the death.
The recent scores also show that the surface can support aggressive batting. A high-scoring game is possible, but fantasy players should wait for the toss and confirmed XIs before deciding how many batters and bowlers to select.
Weather Report
The match information currently lists partly sunny conditions in Mohali, around 34.3°C with 64% humidity and a 68% chance of rain. Another current match-information source lists overcast conditions around 28°C and 67% humidity. Because weather data is changing, the latest conditions should be checked close to the toss.

These are squad pools, not confirmed playing XIs. The final XI and player roles should be checked after the toss.
Fantasy Focus: Players to Watch
Abhishek Sharma
Abhishek Sharma is Amritsar’s marquee player and the most prominent batting option in the squad. His all-round potential also gives him a route to fantasy points beyond batting.
Naman Dhir
Naman Dhir is another important Amritsar option. His all-round role can increase his fantasy ceiling if he is involved with both bat and ball.
Mayank Markande
Markande is Amritsar’s specialist leg-spinner. The recent venue data favours pace overall, but his wicket-taking role makes him relevant if he is named in the XI.
R Singh
R Singh is listed as Mohali Kings captain and an all-rounder. That dual role makes him one of the more interesting Mohali fantasy options, subject to his confirmed XI position and usage.
Harpreet Brar
Harpreet Brar is listed among Mohali’s specialist spinners. His fantasy value will depend heavily on whether the pitch and match-up provide enough opportunity for spin.
Sagar Virk
Sagar Virk is listed as an all-rounder in the Mohali squad. His fantasy appeal comes from the possibility of contributing in both departments, but his exact usage should be checked after the toss.
AMR vs MOH Fantasy Team: Small Leagues
Wicketkeeper: Ishan Sood
Batters: Abhishek Sharma (C), Yuvraj Maan, T Singh
All-Rounders: Naman Dhir (VC), R Singh, Sagar Virk, Aryan Bhatia
Bowlers: Mayank Markande, Harpreet Brar, Ayush Goyal
This is a pre-toss combination based on the available squad information. Replace any player who is not named in the final XI.
AMR vs MOH Fantasy Team: Grand Leagues
Wicketkeeper: Ishan Sood
Batters: Abhishek Sharma, G S Sra, K Chaudhary, Yuvraj Maan
All-Rounders: R Singh (C), Naman Dhir, Sagar Virk
Bowlers: Mayank Markande (VC), Harpreet Brar, N S Pandita
Grand League teams should be adjusted after the toss according to confirmed batting positions, bowling allocation and any late changes.
Fantasy Strategy
The biggest fantasy mistake in this match would be treating unconfirmed roles as fixed. Both teams are playing their first match, and several squad members do not yet have a confirmed batting position or bowling allocation.
The safest approach is to prioritise players with multi-skill roles once the XI is confirmed. The venue’s recent wicket split also makes confirmed pace-bowling roles particularly valuable.
For Grand Leagues, the combination of a high-scoring venue and a relatively fresh squad pool creates room for differential picks, but those picks should be based on the announced XI rather than speculation.
Match Prediction
There is no completed tournament match to use as a form guide, so this is not a form-based prediction. Amritsar have the more prominent marquee names in Abhishek Sharma, Naman Dhir and Mayank Markande, while Mohali have a balanced squad with multiple all-rounders and R Singh listed as captain.
The venue has recently produced big totals, while pace has taken the majority of wickets in the last 10 matches. The team that gets the better contribution from its top order and pace attack should have the advantage.
Prediction: Amritsar Soormas have a slight edge, but the toss and confirmed playing XIs should be considered before making a final fantasy call.
