BB vs GMY Head-to-Head Stats

Bengaluru Blasters and Gulbarga Mystics have faced each other six times in the Maharaja T20 League. Bengaluru Blasters have won two of those, whereas Gulbarga Mystics have managed to win four times.

BB vs GMY Pitch Report

The pitch at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is known to be a batter's paradise. It usually offers a belter of a surface and with short boundaries, the pitches are flat, making it a nightmare for bowlers. The pitch is slightly tricky to bat first as the ball tends to hold onto the surface. In the second half of the match, batting becomes easy as witnessed during IPL 2024 at this venue. Given the track's trueness, slow balls generally don't work at this venue. So, the pacers will mostly rely on hitting the hard length and bowling yorkers to succeed here.

Fantasy value from the pitch report

• Openers and top-order batters from both sides would be good picks.
• Fast bowlers with good yorkers and cutters from either side will also get you good points.
