BB vs HT Team Previews

Bengaluru Blasters

The Bengaluru Blasters will be disappointed with the outcome of their first match, where they were comprehensively defeated by the Mysore Warriors. The loss not only cost them two points but left a dent in their NRR as well.

Skipper Mayank Agarwal was in sublime form on Monday as he smashed 66 runs from just 49 deliveries. However, the batting around him was very ordinary, to say the least. The opening pair of LR Chethan and Rohan Patil was found struggling against the new ball and needs to perform better going ahead.

The middle order has some experienced batsmen like Bhuvan Raju, Mohsin Khan, Rohan Naveen, and Suraj Ahuja. Bengaluru will need at least a couple of them to play well if they want to post a big score. The bowling was pretty ordinary as well.

Vidyadhar Patil and Naveen MG will lead the attack with the new ball. The duo picked up 1 wicket each in the previous match, but it was a bit expensive. Shubhang Hegde will be the key bowler for Bengaluru and will lead the spin department.

Bengaluru Blasters Expected Playing 11

LR Chethan, Rohan Patil, Bhuvan Raju, Mohsin Khan, Rohan Naveen, Suraj Ahuja (WK), Mayank Agarwal (C), Vidyadhar Patil, Naveen MG, Shubhang Hegde, Prateek Jain

Hubli Tigers

The Hubli Tigers put up a clinical performance in their season opener, defeating the Shivamogga Lions by 29 runs. They will now hope to continue with the same intensity and climb up the points table.

Mohammed Taha was in sublime form on Tuesday as he slammed a century to lead Hubli to a massive total. He will be joined by Prakhar Chaturvedi at the top of the order. The middle order consists of Devdutt Padikkal, K Shrijith, and Abhinav Manohar.

All of them have plenty of experience playing in the Maharaja league and add heft to the batting line-up. Coming to the bowling, Hubli will depend on the pair of Manvantj Kumar and Nishchith Pai to take wickets with the new ball.

Hubli’s spin attack is one of the strongest in the league as well. KC Cariappa, Sankalp Shettennavar, and Ritesh Bhatkal are likely to retain their place in the playing XI.

BB vs HT Toss Prediction

The team winning the toss will likely opt to bat first.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The pitch at the Wadiyar Stadium is usually good to bat on, especially during the first inning. The surface is flat and hard, offering excellent pace and bounce, and the batsmen can play their shots with confidence. The team batting first will look to score at least 190-195 runs to give the bowlers some cushion.

During the second innings, the surface tends to slow down a bit, and the bounce is uneven as well, making things difficult for the batsmen. The weather is likely to remain overcast throughout the day, and we can expect some interruptions due to the weather.

BB vs HT: Who Will Win?

We are backing the Hubli Tigers to win this match. They have a strong batting lineup that has plenty of depth. A couple of their batsmen are in excellent form as well. Also, Hubli has a well-balanced bowling, with one of the strongest spin attacks in the league.

Bet on Hubli Tigers to win.

BB vs HT win percentage stands at 54% in favor of HT.
