TEAMS PREVIEW
Gulbarga Mystics Preview
Bengaluru Blasters have blown hot and cold throughout this Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 tournament. Five victories and five defeats got them through to the playoffs, but they arrive at the business end following two straight defeats. They need to iron out this unpredictability in the next stage because another poor showing means their season is over.
Their batting unit has performed well so far and needs to deliver again in the playoffs. LR Chethan has been their top run-scorer, making 250 runs from 10 innings while striking at 149. Rohan Patil has matched that output, adding 223 runs across 10 games at a strike rate of 142.04.
Suraj Ahuja has anchored the middle order well, gathering 195 runs from 10 matches at a strike rate of 141.30, while skipper Mayank Agarwal's know-how will be important in this do-or-die game.
In the bowling department, Shubhang Hegde has been their standout performer, taking 13 wickets from 10 matches at an economy of 6. Naveen MG and Mohsin Khan have combined for 23 wickets, while Vidyadhar Patil has chipped in well with nine scalps.
Gulbarga Mystics Predicted Playing XI:
Mayank Agarwal (c), Rohan Patil, LR Chethan, Bhuvan Raju, Shubhang Hegde, Suraj Ahuja (wk), Rohan Naveen, Naveen MG, Mohsin Khan, Madhav Prakash Bajaj, Vidyadhar Patil Substitute: Rohan Raju

Kalyani Bengaluru Blasters Preview
Gulbarga Mystics have enjoyed a good run this season, winning six and losing three from 10 matches to secure their playoff spot. They were in line to finish in the top two and earn a direct route to Qualifier 2, but their final group game ended in defeat to Mangalore Dragons by 39 runs. Despite that setback, Gulbarga have performed well throughout and should back themselves heading into the knockout phase.
Smaran Ravichandran has been their standout performer, scoring 394 runs across nine games while maintaining a strike rate of 159. He's notched five half-centuries this campaign, making him a good bet to contribute another substantial knock of 30 runs or more in the Eliminator.
Opening the batting, Luvnith Sisodia has also impressed, amassing 225 runs from 10 outings at a strike rate of 199 and regularly providing his team with quick starts during the powerplay overs.
Nikin Jose and Prajwal Pavan have also been valuable contributors to this batting unit, both surpassing 170 runs while keeping up strong scoring rates during their time at the crease.
As for the bowlers, captain Vijaykumar Vyshak and Prithviraj Shekhawat have been the main wicket-takers, claiming 20 dismissals between them. The remaining bowling duties have been shared among Shashi Kumar Kamble, Prithviraj Shekhawat, and Monish Reddy, who have all chipped in with important breakthroughs.
Kalyani Bengaluru Blasters Predicted Playing XI:
Luvnith Sisodia, Lavish Kaushal (wk), Likhit M Bannur, Prajwal Pavan, Smaran Ravichandran, Krishnamurthy Siddharth, Praveen Dubey, Prithviraj Shekhawat, Vijaykumar Vyshak (c), Harsha Wardhan Khuba, Shashi Kumar Kamble Substitute: Bangalore Mohith/ Monish Reddy

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
Batters have generally had the upper hand at the Srikantadatta Narasimha Raja Wadeyar Ground in the Maharaja T20 Trophy 2025, thanks to a pitch that rewards clean hitting and a quick outfield that turns ones into twos. But bowlers haven’t been left helpless, as the surface occasionally throws up unpredictable bounce to keep things interesting. Pacers can exploit early swing, though the pitch eases out as the game goes on. Spinners become more effective later, using changes in pace and angles to trouble batters.
The forecast for Mysore shows gusty conditions at times, with clouds drifting over the venue for most of the match.
GBM vs BLB Pitch Report
The Srikantadatta Narasimha Raja Wadeyar Ground generally sees first innings scores near 160, but the 2025 Maharaja T20 Trophy has seen great batting-friendly surfaces here. The average first-innings total has risen to around 170 in this season, and there have been instances of teams surpassing 200. In this knockout clash, a total between 180 and 190 would give the team setting the target a strong advantage.
Toss: To Bowl
Teams batting second have had more success in this Maharaja T20 Trophy at Srikantadatta Narasimha Raja Wadeyar Ground, and we reckon both captains will be looking to bowl first in this all-important encounter.
GBM vs BLB
Winning Prediction
Bengaluru Blasters and Gulbarga Mystics face a do-or-die situation since this is the Eliminator match. In knockout cricket like this, just one brilliant innings or one outstanding bowling performance can swing everything. But when you look at the bigger picture, Gulbarga have edged ahead of Bengaluru throughout the tournament. Add to that Bengaluru's worrying form from their past two matches, which included losing to Gulbarga as well. That makes Gulbarga the preferred pick to win this elimination showdown.
Gulbarga Mystics are our picks for the winners of this match.
