Team Previews

Hubli Tigers

The Manish Pandey-led Hubli Tigers are having a dream tournament so far. They are currently placed at the top of the table with six wins out of the seven games they have played so far. Luvnith Sisodia has been their star with the bat as the top order batter has scored second highest runs in the tournament so far.

Meanwhile, the young all-rounder Manvanth Kumar and wrist spinner Pravin Dubey are the joint highest wicket-takers for Hubli with ten wickets each. Following their last win over the Bengaluru Blasters, Hubli became the only team to qualify for the knockout stage as of writing this.

It has been clinical from the entire Hubli Tigers’ group with each and every member stepping at some point to get the team across the line. With three more games to go in the league stage, captain Manish Pandey will be hoping his side to sustain the dominant run and strengthen their position at the top of the points table.

Gulbarga Mystics

Gulbarga Mystics started their campaign with a win but failed to maintain the momentum in the initial stage of the tournament. They lost three matches on the trot after their first game and found themselves stranding down at the bottom of the table.

Fortunately, they have won their last two games and are looking alive on their way to the knockouts. Captain Vyshak has been leading the team from the front with the rest of his teammates responding brilliantly following the early adversity.

The defending champions are currently sitting at third position in the points table with six points as of writing this. However, there are two more teams who have six points under their belt and the Mystics will be keen to not lose their top three place at this stage of the tournament.

Match Details

Pitch Report: The pitch at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium will continue to be a belter of a surface. Batters will enjoy batting on this deck with very little help for the bowlers. The wicket is expected to remain the same throughout the afternoon game, therefore the team winning the toss should bowl first. The first innings score is expected to be around 190.
