JAL vs AMR Fantasy Prediction, 17th Match: Jalandhar Warriors vs Amritsar Soormas Fantasy Team, Playing XI, Pitch Report, Sher-e-Punjab T20 2026

This is a rematch of the tournament’s highest scoring match, in which Jalandhar Warriors chased down 264 with eight wickets in hand behind Prabhsimran Singh’s unbeaten 125 off 47 balls. Since then Jalandhar have gone 2-2, while Amritsar Soormas have lost three of four and sit bottom of the table. Prabhsimran Singh continues to captain Jalandhar in career best form, and Naman Dhir leads Amritsar’s batting fightback after his own century in that earlier meeting. These performances will be key considerations while building the JAL vs AMR Fantasy Team for this rematch.

Recent Form

Jalandhar Warriors have won three and lost three of their six matches. They beat Amritsar in that 265 chase, then beat Bathinda Royals by three runs and Ludhiana Lions by seven wickets, but have since lost back to back matches, to Mohali Kings in a low scoring finish and to Bathinda Royals in their most recent outing, posting 219/9 against Bathinda’s 228/6. My earlier prediction favoured Jalandhar heavily in that Bathinda match; Bathinda actually won it.

Amritsar Soormas have won just once in four matches. Their sole win came against Fazilka Falcons, chasing 183 to reach 186/3 in 17.3 overs, with Naman Dhir named Player of the Match. They lost the earlier meeting against Jalandhar despite posting 264, their tournament high, and were beaten by Mohali Kings in the opener and Bathinda Royals in their most recent match, held to 105/7 in a game reduced to 11 overs.

Points Table

Jalandhar Warriors have six points from six matches, three wins and three losses, with a net run rate of plus 0.361. Amritsar Soormas have two points from four matches, one win and three losses, with a net run rate of minus 0.864. Jalandhar have played more cricket and sit clearly ahead on the table.

JAL vs AMR Head to Head Record

Jalandhar Warriors lead the head to head 1-0, having won the only previous meeting this season in one of the tournament’s defining matches, chasing down 264 to reach 265/2 in 16.5 overs.

JAL vs AMR Squads

Jalandhar Warriors: Prabhsimran Singh captains the side and keeps wicket, and he has been the standout batter in the entire tournament, with 438 runs in five innings at an average of 146.00 and a strike rate of 216.83, including 42 fours and 28 sixes. Sukhdeep Bajwa has picked up five wickets across the season, though at a costlier average of 39.60 than some of his teammates.

Full squad: Prabhsimran Singh (c, wk), Vishwanath Pratap Singh, Abhinav Sharma, Anmol Malhotra, Umesh Gill, Harjas Singh Tandon, Sukhdeep Bajwa, Emanjot Singh Chahal, Mayank Gupta, Gourav Markan, Gurvinder Singh Bhullar, Shaanvir Kalsi, Arpan Walia, Aryan Yadav, Randeep Singh, Yash Karan, Paras Jaidka, Jaskirat Singh, Deepinder Cheema.

Amritsar Soormas: Naman Dhir has emerged as the side’s most dangerous batter, scoring 117 off 56 balls in the earlier meeting against Jalandhar and continuing to anchor the middle order. Some listings show Naman Dhir captaining this specific match rather than marquee signing Abhishek Sharma, so the exact captaincy arrangement is worth confirming at the toss. Abhishek Sharma has scored heavily in patches, including 82 off 36 in that same match. Akash Pandey has been the side’s most effective bowler, taking five wickets in four matches at an average of 25.60, comfortably better than the rest of the attack.

Full squad: Abhishek Sharma, Naman Dhir, Mayank Markande, Rahul Kumar, Sahil Khan, Jashanpreet Singh, Dhruv Rahul Jindal, Reavan Preet Singh, Prabhjit Singh, Ishan Sood, Adhiraj Singh Mangat, Abhay Choudhary, Dhruv Bhagania, Shubham Rana, Sahaj Dhawan, Ishmeet Singh Sandhu, Navneet Virk, Akash Pandey, Vaibhav Kalra.

Pitch Report

The IS Bindra Stadium has shifted decisively towards pace this tournament. Across the last 10 matches, seamers have taken 76 percent of the wickets against just 24 percent for spin, one of the sharpest such splits recorded here, and multiple reports on this exact fixture note that spinners have struggled to find turn while quicks have found some movement with the new ball.

The ground remains an outstanding batting venue overall, with the earlier meeting between these two sides producing 529 combined runs. Jalandhar and Amritsar have the two highest average scores in the competition, at 204 and 203 respectively.

Weather Report

Monday in Mohali is forecast for hazy sunshine with a temperature around 30.2°C, 77 percent humidity, and only a 3 percent chance of rain. A full match with no interruption risk is expected.

Key Player Battles

Prabhsimran Singh vs Akash Pandey: Prabhsimran is averaging 146 this tournament and scored 125 off 47 the last time these sides met. Pandey is Amritsar’s most economical wicket taker at 25.60, and dismissing Prabhsimran inside the powerplay is close to the only way Amritsar slow him down.

Naman Dhir vs Sukhdeep Bajwa: Dhir made 117 off 56 in the reverse fixture and has been Amritsar’s most consistent batting threat since, while Bajwa’s five wickets have come at a higher cost than Pandey’s, making this a contest Amritsar should target.

Abhishek Sharma vs Jalandhar’s new ball attack: Sharma made 82 off 36 in the earlier meeting between these sides, and getting him out inside the first four overs remains Jalandhar’s most direct route to controlling the powerplay.

JAL vs AMR Fantasy Team: Small League

Wicketkeepers: Prabhsimran Singh (C)

Batters: Naman Dhir (VC), Abhishek Sharma, Sukhdeep Bajwa, Harjas Singh Tandon

All-rounders: Akash Pandey, Mayank Gupta, Jashanpreet Singh

Bowlers: Emanjot Singh Chahal, Rahul Kumar, Aryan Yadav

Prabhsimran Singh is captain on hard statistical grounds rather than reputation alone: 438 runs in five innings at an average of 146.00 and a strike rate above 216 is the standout numbers based case in the entire tournament, and he has already scored a century against this specific opponent. Naman Dhir takes the vice captaincy over Abhishek Sharma specifically because his most recent contribution against Jalandhar, 117 off 56, is both the larger score and the more recent form reference between Amritsar’s two main batters.

Akash Pandey is included ahead of an automatic slot for Sukhdeep Bajwa because his bowling average of 25.60 is meaningfully better than Bajwa’s 39.60 across a similar sample of matches, even though Bajwa is the more established name.

JAL vs AMR Fantasy Team: Grand League

Wicketkeepers: Prabhsimran Singh

Batters: Naman Dhir, Sukhdeep Bajwa, Harjas Singh Tandon (VC), Reavan Preet Singh

All-rounders: Akash Pandey (C), Abhishek Sharma, Jashanpreet Singh

Bowlers: Mayank Markande, Emanjot Singh Chahal, Ishmeet Singh Sandhu

For grand leagues, Pandey is worth the captaincy specifically because his 25.60 average is the best economy and strike rate combination among the specialist bowlers on either side, and he will carry a fraction of the ownership Prabhsimran attracts. Harjas Singh Tandon offers a differential at the top of Jalandhar’s order who has had less individual coverage than Prabhsimran despite playing every match.

Match Prediction

Prabhsimran Singh’s form is the single most decisive factor in this match. Averaging 146 with a strike rate above 216 is not a small sample fluctuation at this point, it is five innings of sustained dominance, and he has already produced his best individual score of the tournament against this exact opponent.

Amritsar Soormas do have the tools to make this competitive. Naman Dhir and Abhishek Sharma both scored heavily in the earlier meeting, and on a ground averaging over 200 runs a match, no total is truly safe. But Amritsar’s bowling, even with Akash Pandey performing better than his teammates, has not been able to defend competitive totals this season, including the 264 they posted against these same opponents.

Jalandhar Warriors get the clear edge, built primarily on Prabhsimran Singh’s individual form rather than the head to head record alone.
