Maharaja Trophy 2023, Match 24, Bengaluru Blasters vs Gulbarga Mystics Probable XIs, Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, Streaming Details

The Bengaluru Blasters will take on the Gulbarga Mystics in the 24th match of the 2023 Maharaja Trophy at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on Thursday, August 24.

The Mystics secured a comfortable victory in the last game against the Hubli Tigers. Macneil Noronha and Smaran R led the way with a sensible partnership. After losing the openers early, Noronha and Smaran orchestrated an innings that was steady and fruitful.

They reached individual milestones while building a crucial 100+ run stand for the third wicket to chase down 165 runs with eight balls to spare. The win showcased the Gulbarga Mystics' form and determination.

Missed opportunities and poor fielding plagued the Bengaluru Blasters as they suffered their seventh straight loss. Despite a strong showing with the bat resulting in a decent total against the Hubli Tigers, the Blasters struggled to hold onto catches during the chase which proved costly.

Mohammed Taha seized this chance and quickly scored 66 off 35 balls, while Shrijith capitalized on a no-ball dismissal and racked up 45 off 30 to chase down 189 with nine balls to spare.

The Blasters' fielders' lack of support for their bowlers proved to be their downfall. Meanwhile, the Tigers took home their sixth win, cementing their spot at the top of the league standings.

The clash between the Bengaluru Blasters and the Gulbarga Mystics will surely be expected one-sided until the Blasters turn out to be party poopers.
