Mayank Agarwal batting for Bengaluru Blasters (PC: Twitter)
The 17th match of the Maharaja T20 League 2022 will see the clash between Mangalore United (MU) and Bengaluru Blasters (BLB) on August 15 at Srikantadatta Narasimha Raja Wadiyar Ground, Mysore.
It will be the battle of the titans as both the sides currently occupy the top two spots on the points table. While Mangalore United enjoy the first position, winning four of their five matches, Bengaluru Blasters sit at a place below them with three victories in five games.
The United have been led by Nikin Jose on the batting front. The right-hander lies amongst the top-scorers in the tournament with 170 runs under his belt. Vyshak Vijay Kumar has fared outstandingly well with the ball, claiming eight wickets in mere five innings.
The Blasters have found an able skipper and batter in the form of Mayank Agarwal, who has been in scintillating form throughout the competition. Albeit shaping up as a formidable side, BLB will be low on confidence as they suffered a defeat in their last fixture.
