Gulbarga Mystics Preview
Gulbarga Mystics have been one of the most consistent sides this season, winning six of their ten group stage games. Smaran Ravichandran has been the backbone of their batting, piling up 394 runs in nine games with five fifties, providing solidity and aggression in the middle. His ability to counter-attack will be vital in this knockout. At the top, Luvnith Sisodia’s strike rate of 199 has set the tone for explosive starts, while Nikin Jose and Prajwal Pavan have chipped in with valuable runs.
Their bowling attack, spearheaded by skipper Vijaykumar Vyshak and Prithviraj Shekhawat, has been effective, combining for 20 wickets. Supporting bowlers like Shashi Kumar Kamble and Monish Reddy have also stepped up with breakthroughs in pressure moments. Despite a final league defeat to Mangalore Dragons, Gulbarga’s balanced squad, strong batting depth, and disciplined bowling make them a formidable opponent in this do-or-die clash.
Predicted 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.

Bengaluru Blasters Preview
The Blasters qualified with five wins but enter the playoffs under pressure after two consecutive defeats. LR Chethan has been their standout with 250 runs in 10 innings at a strike rate of 149, while Rohan Patil (223 runs) adds explosiveness up top. Middle-order batter Suraj Ahuja has been steady with 195 runs, and captain Mayank Agarwal’s experience adds stability.
Their bowling has shown sparks with Shubhang Hegde claiming 13 wickets at an economy of 6. Naveen MG and Mohsin Khan’s combined 23 wickets have been crucial, while Vidyadhar Patil has chipped in consistently. However, their inconsistency with the bat and ball has cost them in crunch games. If Bengaluru are to progress, their top order must fire collectively and their bowlers need to execute plans effectively against Gulbarga’s power hitters.
Predicted 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.

Favorite Team in Today’s Match
Gulbarga Mystics head into this Eliminator as the favorites due to their balance and form throughout the season. With six wins in the league stage, they were one of the most reliable sides. Smaran Ravichandran’s prolific run-scoring ability has given them a major advantage in batting depth, while Luvnith Sisodia’s quick starts ensure they capitalize on the powerplay. Their bowling unit, led by Vijaykumar Vyshak, has been effective in controlling opposition batters and picking up key wickets. In contrast, Bengaluru Blasters have been inconsistent, often reliant on individual brilliance rather than collective team efforts. Gulbarga also has the psychological edge, having beaten the Blasters earlier this season. Their overall balance across batting, bowling, and fielding makes them the stronger team on paper to clinch victory in this knockout clash.
