Bengaluru Blasters will be keen on making a comeback in this match after losing two of their last 3 games. Their recent loss was the most shocking one as they tied the scores while chasing 165 against Hubli Tigers.
They were ahead of the Tigers with just 2 runs needed from the last 5 balls. It took 3 super overs to decide the winner of the game and that will leave the Blasters quite disappointed.
Mysore Warriors suffered a loss in their last outing after 3 consecutive wins. A huge batting collapse cost them the game as Mysore ended up with just 154 runs on the board.
They had successfully defended 179 and 165 runs in their previous outings. They pack a solid bowling attack with many wicket-takers in the side. The Mysore Warriors will be looking to put the inconsistent Bengaluru Blasters on the backfoot.

Bengaluru Blasters beat Mysore Warriors by 10 runs212/4 in 20.0
Bengaluru Blasters are not going to find it easy to come back from their recent defeat. They had the game in their pocket with just two runs needed from 5 balls.
Losing wickets towards the end of the run chase affected their momentum. Naveen MG whose 11-ball 23-run knock at number 8 got the Blasters on the verge of victory was out in the last over.
The positive for Bengaluru is how many of the lower-middle-order batters stepped up to make significant contributions. However, in the top 4, only skipper Mayank Agarwal shined with the bat scoring 54 off 34 balls.
Shivkumar Rakshith, Suraj Ahuja, and Aniruddha Joshi are the key players in the middle-order who need to score big to lead the Blasters to a competitive score. Shubhang Hegde is another key batter in the middle-order who can play a match-winning knock.
However, none of them has been consistent as Bengaluru Blasters scored some below-par totals in their last 3 matches. They are heavily relied on their bowlers to put them on top of the game. Naveen MG, Lavish Kaushal, and Kranthi Kumar are the key wicket-takers to watch out for.

Mysore Warriors lost to Gulbarga Mystics while defending a below-par score in their last match. This was their second loss to Gulbarga in this season. The Warriors had a weak start to the season with 2 losses in the first 3 matches.
However, they soon bounced back with a 200+ score against Mangalore Dragons. They won 3 consecutive matches before losing to Gulbarga Mystics once again.
Their batting returns have reduced since their win over the Dragons. Their scores in the last 3 outings are 154, 179 and 165. A batting lineup that features some of the best talent in Karnataka hasn’t lived up to the expectations.
SU Karthik, skipper Karun Nair, and Karthik CA are the key batters in the top 3 who are expected to deliver a good start for the Warriors. Samit Dravid is struggling to score big at number 4 and will be eager to make an impactful contribution to the team.
Sumit Kumar and Manoj Bhadange are the ones to watch out for in the lower middle order. They’ve scored quite handsomely in the past but haven’t found their rhythm in recent matches and need to get back to form.
The bowling attack has some match-winning players like Jagdeesha Suchith, Karthik CA, Krishnappa Gowtham, and Vidyadhar Patil. There is great variety in the bowling attack and with someone or the other rising to the occasion with match-winning spells, Mysore Warriors look threatening with the ball.

It will be a mostly cloudy Sunday in Bengaluru with a high of 28 degrees Celsius. There are no chances of rain during the match and we should have a complete game without any interruptions.

Average TurnIt is a batting-friendly wicket that has now become more balanced after 20 matches of this tournament. There is some help for the bowlers as well with games turning out to be more competitive. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 matches of the Maharaja Trophy is 160 runs. We reckon a 170+ 1st innings total can be a match-winning score in this match.
Though some results have gone in favor of the team batting first in recent matches, teams still tend to bowl first on winning the toss. Teams batting first have won 4 of the last 6 matches of the Maharaja Trophy. There is enough help for the batters in the second innings and they should be able to chase down a decent total.
It will be a close encounter between two teams looking for consistency in their batting. Blasters will be concerned about their ability to chase after the recent loss while Warriors should deal with their downward graph of batting returns in recent matches. However, the Mysore Warriors have a strong bowling attack that can put the inconsistent Blasters on the backfoot. Mysore Warriors will have a slight edge going into this contest and will be our favorites to win.
