Team Previews
Gulbarga Mystics
Gulbarga Mystics have been fairly consistent in this tournament, sitting in 5th place with 3 wins from 5 matches. Their batting has been led by Smaran-R, who is currently the top run scorer for the side with 180 runs, including a match-winning 53 in their last game against Shivamogga Lions. The likes of Nikin Jose and Prajwal Pavan have also chipped in with crucial contributions, making their batting unit a steady one.
On the bowling front, Vyshak Vijayakumar has been their strike weapon, picking up 7 wickets so far. He has bowled with pace and accuracy in the death overs, making him a key figure. Supporting him are spinners Pravin Dubey and Monish Reddy, who can choke runs in the middle overs. The balance of Gulbarga Mystics comes from their strong middle order and versatile bowling options. If Smaran-R continues his form, Gulbarga Mystics will have a strong chance to dominate this clash.
Mysore Warriors
Mysore Warriors, currently 2nd on the points table, have shown both resilience and dominance. They come into this contest after a convincing 39-run win against Bengaluru Blasters in a rain-shortened game. Their batting has revolved around SU Karthik, who has amassed 165 runs in the competition so far. Experienced campaigners like Manish Pandey and Karun Nair bring stability, though Pandey’s inconsistency is a concern.
The bowling department has been their biggest strength. Shikhar Shetty was outstanding in the last game, picking 3 wickets for just 5 runs and dismantling Bengaluru’s top order. Colanda Ajit Karthik is their leading wicket-taker with 5 scalps, and his all-round contributions provide depth. Mysore Warriors have a mix of youth and experience, making them dangerous opponents. If their top order clicks, they can post big totals and put pressure on Gulbarga Mystics.

Favourite Team Today
Gulbarga Mystics enter this clash as the stronger favourites owing to their in-form batting lineup and dependable bowling attack. Their ability to chase under pressure was displayed in their previous win, where Smaran-R played a commanding knock. The presence of steady players like Nikin Jose and all-rounders like Pravin Dubey adds depth, while Vyshak Vijaykumar’s pace attack gives them a cutting edge. In contrast, Mysore Warriors’ reliance on SU Karthik is a concern; if he fails, the middle order has struggled. Even though their bowling has been sharp, their inconsistency with the bat tilts the balance towards Gulbarga Mystics. Playing at a familiar ground, the Mystics’ adaptable squad composition and recent confidence from back-to-back wins make them the better-placed side to take home the points. Hence, they are the favourites for this encounter.
