BB vs MD: Team Previews

Bengaluru Blasters

Bengaluru Blasters are reeling at the bottom of the points table after facing defeat in all of their five matches in the season so far. 

While their bowlers, too, have struggled, it's mainly their batting unit that has let them down. Only their one batter, who is Suraj Ajya Ahuja, is among the top 15 run-scorers in the tournament.

Mangalore Dragons

Mangalore Dragons are currently situated fourth on the points table with two wins and as many losses.

While they suffer from inconsistency, they should find positive in the fact that they won their previous game against Bengaluru by 23 runs. Krishnamurthy Siddharth had scored a 64-ball 100 for them.
