MW vs BB Team Previews
Mysore Warriors
Mysore Warriors are making a mark this season, playing a total of eight matches, winning five of those games, while losing three. They are currently placed at the second place of the points table with 10 points in their account. Fresh off a 7-wicket win against Mangalore Dragons, they are on fire to keep their winning spree alive, and their points throne unshaken.
Karun Nair is straight-up owning this season, not just for Mysore Warriors but for the entire tournament, emerging as the highest run-getter of the season. Apart from him, Ajit Karthik and Ravikumar Samarth are adding their own flavor to the mix. All three are on a mission to keep the scoreboard busy and lead their team to more victories.
Bengaluru Blasters
On the other hand, things have been a total downer for Bengaluru Blasters this season. They have lost all the eight matches they played in the tournament so far and are stationed at the abyss of the points table. Heading into this game, they will be looking to secure at least one win to avoid the dreaded 'zero victories' situation and rescue a bit of their reputation.
Shubang Hedge, Suraj Ahuja, and Sarfaraz Ashraf are definitely pulling their weight both with the bat and the ball. However, it seems like the other players have missed the memo. All in all, the team has not quite gelled together this tournament. And that's the main culprit behind their empty win column.
