Maharaja T20 Trophy 2024- Mangalore Dragons vs Bengaluru Blasters, Match 16 Preview
Mangalore Dragons vs Bengaluru Blasters: The 16th match of the Maharaja T20 Trophy 2024 sees Bengaluru Blasters take on Mangalore Dragons at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore on Thursday. The two teams are sitting at the opposite ends of the ladder.
Bengaluru Blasters have won three matches out of four and find themselves at second on the ladder. Their three-match winning streak was halted by Hubli Tigers in their last game. The Blasters are in pretty good form and you expect them to come back to winning ways.
Facing them are Mangalore Dragons, who are at second from the bottom. Mangalore Dragons have a solitary win to their name in four matches. Their last match was abandoned due to rain. However, all is not lost for them and they would still want to make a good comeback from here.
Bengaluru Blasters Review:
Skipper Mayank Agarwal is in decent form and has two good scores to his name. He should look to stay consistent, alongside LR Chethan, who has been in exceptional form. He is their leading run-scorer this season with 157 runs in four games. Both are must-have picks for your fantasy team.
At number three, Bhuvan Raju has two fifty-plus scores to his name, while Shubhang Hedge has one. Suraj Ahuja also has been in great touch and this a positive sign for them.
Much like their batting, the Bengaluru Blasters has made a collective effort with the ball as well. Naveen MG has been their standout bowler with eight wickets to his name. Besides, the likes of Lavish Kaushal and Aditya Goyal have been among the wickets as well.
Mangalore Dragons Review:
The batting relies majorly on M Noronha, Nikin Jose, and Siddharth. All three have scored consistently and are handy picks for your fantasy team. The latter is their highest run-scorer this season with 132 runs against his name.
Having said, Nikin Jose has played pretty well this season. He began with a 33-run knock and followed it with an unbeaten 17 and 32 off 21. He could be a pretty good pick as well.
The bowling has let them down this season. Skipper, Shreyas Gopal bowled a pretty good spell of 2 for 19 in the last game. That should give him a lot of confidence. Paras Arya also returned with three wickets, which is another positive sign for them. You can pick these two in your fantasy team as far as the bowlers are concerned.
