Srikantadatta Narasimharaja Wadiyar Ground

Bengaluru Blasters and Shivamogga Lions battle out in the 22nd match of the fourth edition of the KSCA Maharaja Trophy 2025 on Thursday, 21st August. The match is slated to be played at Srikantadatta Narasimharaja Wadiyar Ground, Mysore and the scheduled start time is 7:15 PM IST.

Bengaluru Blasters vs Shivamogga Lions Match Prediction

Facts:

LR Chetan is the leading run-scorer for the Bengaluru Blasters this season with 228 runs in 7 matches, averaging 38.
Mohsin Khan has taken 11 wickets in the last 7 matches for the Bengaluru Blasters.

Bengaluru Blasters vs Shivamogga Lions Chance of Winning

The Bengaluru Blasters are coming off a tight 3-wicket win against the Hubli Tigers, successfully chasing a total of 142. They have had a mixed season so far, winning three matches and losing two, with two no-results. This puts them in a middle-of-the-table position. Their recent wins show they have found some form after a tough start. In their last match, Naveen MG played a match-winning innings of 33 runs from just 12 balls.

While their batting has been a bit up and down, their bowlers, especially Shubhang Hegde and Mohsin Khan, have been consistent and economical. The Blasters will be looking to continue this momentum and secure more wins to improve their position in the points table.

The Shivamogga Lions are coming off a 7-wicket defeat to the Gulbarga Mystics. Their performance this season has been disappointing, with five losses in six matches and one no-result, leaving them at the bottom of the table. Their batting has struggled to post competitive totals, as seen in their last match where they could only manage 133 runs.

While Tushar Singh showed some fight with 32 runs, the rest of the lineup failed to build significant partnerships. Their bowlers, despite some economical spells from Dhruv Prabhakar and Hardik Raj, have been unable to take enough wickets to put pressure on the opposition. The team will need a complete turnaround in both departments to salvage their season.

Based on the current form and standings of both the teams, the Bengaluru Blasters have a better chance of winning this contest.
