MW vs GMY: Team Previews
Mysore Warriors
With six wins to their name, Mysore Warriors finished the league stage at number two on the Maharaja T20 2023 points table. The Karun Nair-led side also defeated Gulbarga Mystics in both of their meetings this season. Notably, they made it to number two on the points table only owing to their slightly superior net run rate compared to the Mystics.
Gulbarga Mystics
Much like the Warriors, Gulbarga Mystics also registered six wins against four defeats in their ten league fixtures this season. However, their net run rate of 0.432 kept them below the Warriors on the points table. While the Mystics have lost out to the Warriors in each of their recent two meetings, they hold a 3-2 overall head-to-head record against them.

The average first innings total at the venue has been a competitive 165. The captain winning the toss will likely opt to field first, considering the chasing sides have won 67 per cent of their matches here.
