BB vs MD Dream11 Prediction & Previews:

Bengaluru Blasters

The Bengaluru Blasters have had a difficult season in the Maharaja KSCA T20, finishing last in the points table with zero wins from five matches. Their most recent match against Mangaluru Dragons ended in a disappointing 33-run defeat (VJD method). While their bowlers, particularly Shubhang Hedge picked 4 wickets and Rishi Bopanna collected 2 wickets, performed well in limiting MD to 186 runs.

Dega Nischal and Mayank Agarwal (the team’s captain) failed to build a solid foundation, scoring only 6 and 2 runs, respectively. The middle order, featuring Jeswanth Archarya and Suraj Ahuja, showed potential with scores of 13 and 31, but they couldn’t close the deficit enough to win.

This match-up represents an opportunity for BB to turn their situation around and earn their first win of the tournament. They will be hoping for their top-order batsmen to show up and complement their competent bowling attack.

Mangaluru Dragons

The Mangaluru Dragons have had an inconsistent season in the Maharaja KSCA T20, finishing fifth on the points table with two wins and three losses. In their previous match, they won by 5 wickets against Gulbarg Mystics, showing their capacity to overcome challenges.

MD batted first in that match and scored a meagre 120 runs. Their openers with scores of 8 and 0, K. Siddharth and Rohan Patil, struggled to provide a decent start. However, the middle order, led by Gaurav Dhiman’s 27 and Aditya Goyal’s 22, showed determination, allowing the team to attain a competitive total.

In the bowling department, MD’s bowlers failed to take important wickets, with Aditya Goyal, Krishnappa Gowtham, and A. Joshi each taking only one wicket. Despite their bowling limitations, they were able to secure a key victory, demonstrating their ability to perform under pressure.
