HT vs GM Team Previews

Hubli Tigers

Against the run of play, Hubli Tigers lost their last game in the league phase to Bengaluru Blasters. After making a brusque start to their campaign in the 2025 edition of the Maharaja Trophy, with two wins in a row, the team is having to endure fluctuating fortunes.

The unexpected loss to Blasters would have put a bit of a damper on their prospects in the tournament. In their last encounter, while batting first, the Hubli outfit made a terrible start to their innings, losing three early wickets. But Krishnan Shrijith and Shivkumar Rakshith steadied the ship a little bit.

The wicketkeeper-batter Rakshith was the top run-getter of the Hubli effort with an unbeaten 61 from 42 balls with four sixes and three fours. However, none of the other batters contributed with big scores. Hubli ended up raising a modest score of 141 runs from their quota of twenty overs. However, Hubli bowlers fought valiantly and took the contest to the last over.

But the team didn't have enough runs on the board. Yash Raj Punja was the top bowler of the contest with three wickets for 34 runs from his four overs. All other Hubli bowlers, including Ritesh Bhatkal, Sankalp Shettennavar, KC Cariappa, and Sheesha Achar, were among the wickets.

Hubli Tigers Expected Playing 11

Devdutt Padikkal (c), Mohammed Taha, Krishnan Shrijith, Abhinav Manohar, Shivkumar Rakshith (wk), Prakhar Chaturvedi, Manvanth Kumar L, KC Cariappa, Ritesh Bhatkal, Shreesha Achar, Sankalp Shettennavar.

Gulbarga Mystics

After losing two out of their first three games, the Mystics team is on a roll. They have put together four wins on the trot in the league. As a result of this exemplary performance, they are currently sitting at the top of the points table with ten points.

They have a net run rate of +0.151 and have dropped just two of the seven games they have played. They chased down a massive Mysore total today, keeping seven wickets in hand. It was an incredible chase where the Gulbarga top and middle order rose to the challenge.

In their last game, the Mysore team was in great touch with the bat as they posted 209 runs in their twenty overs. The only Mystics bowler that was not carved all over the ground was Lavish Kushal. He bowled his four overs for just 25 runs and picked up two wickets to return with the best haul of the contest.

Almost all batters from the Gulbarga outfit contributed to the score. But it was left to Praveen Dubey to take his side home on the last ball of the contest. Krishnamurthy Siddharth and Dubey built a terrific partnership to take the side home on the last ball of the thrilling contest.

Gulbarga Mystics Expected Playing 11

Luvnith Sisodia (wk), Nikin Jose, Prajwal Pavan, Smaran Ravichandran, Bangalore Mohith, Prithviraj Shekhawat, Krishnamurthy Siddharth, Praveen Dubey, Vijaykumar Vyshak (c), Lavish Kaushal, Monish Reddy.

HT vs GM Toss Prediction

This Srikantadatta Narasimha Raja Wadeyar Ground has seen nearly 100 domestic T20 games played on it. The sides chasing a target have won more games, although this difference in the win/loss record of teams batting first and second is marginal. It might be a better idea to field first here, as the pitch seems to hold firm throughout the game.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

This venue is famous for offering batting-friendly conditions. We saw both teams scoring over two hundred runs in the Gulbarga and Mysore contest. This doesn't mean that the bowlers must get ready to take punishment. There will be some assistance for the bowlers as well. There is the shadow of a rain interruption hovering over this game.

HT vs GM: Who Will Win?

Both these teams have been in great touch in this competition so far. They are in first and second positions in the points table. However, the way Gulbarga beat Mysore in their last contest in the league phase of the competition must have sent shivers down the spine of their opponents.

Bet on the Gulbarga Mystics to win.

HT vs GM win percentage stands at 51% in favor of HT.
