Hubli Tigers vs Bengaluru Blasters Match Prediction

Devdutt Padikkal has scored 186 runs in the last 6 matches for the Hubli Tigers.
Mohsin Khan is the leading wicket taker for the Bengaluru Blasters with 10 wickets in 6 matches.

Hubli Tigers vs Bengaluru Blasters Chance of Winning

The Hubli Tigers are heading into this contest on the back of a dominant 23-run victory over the Mangalore Dragons. They successfully defended a score of 153 runs, bowling out the Dragons for just 129 in 18.3 overs. KC Cariappa and Yash Raj Punja were the star performers with the ball, picking up three wickets each. Their performance was complemented by a half-century (63 runs) from their skipper, Devdutt Padikkal, earlier in the game. With this win, the Tigers now sit at the top of the points table with four wins and two losses in six matches.

The Bengaluru Blasters are coming off a 39-run loss to the Mysore Warriors in their last match, where they failed to chase down 137 runs in 16 overs and only managed to score 97/9. This poor batting performance ended the Blasters' three-game winning streak. The Blasters are currently in fourth place in the points table with six points from six matches, having won three and lost three. They have a net run rate of -0.09. This match against the Hubli Tigers is crucial; a win here would move them up to third place and give them a one-game advantage over the teams ranked below them.

Based on the analysis of both teams' recent form and their players' performances, the Hubli Tigers have a better chance of winning this contest.

Hubli Tigers vs Bengaluru Blasters Prediction & Betting Tips 2025

Hubli Tigers captain Devdutt Padikkal's form this season has been inconsistent. His scores are 63, 7, 0, 60, 4, and 52. He's either scored a half-century or failed to get to 10 runs. However, after a few low scores, he bounced back with a big 63-run knock against the Mangalore Dragons in the last match. We expect him to continue this good form against the Blasters and predict he'll score more than 24 runs.

Hubli Tigers vs Bengaluru Blasters Toss Prediction

Out of the 17 matches played this season in the KSCA Maharaja Trophy at the Srikantadatta Narasimha Raja Wadiyar Ground in Mysore, the team bowling first has won nine.

The Hubli Tigers have won two of their three matches when bowling first, which includes a two-wicket victory over the Bengaluru Blasters where they successfully chased down 226 runs. The Bengaluru Blasters' success has also come from winning the toss and choosing to bowl first; they have won all three of their matches this season while chasing. The strategy for both teams is clear: win the toss and elect to bowl first.

On Wednesday, August 20, the weather in Mysore is expected to be 29°C with a 35% chance of light rain. The humidity will be around 75%, with winds blowing at 24 km/h.

Hubli Tigers vs Bengaluru Blasters Top Batters

Devdutt Padikkal to be the Top Batter for the Hubli Tigers

The skipper of the Hubli Tigers, Devdutt Padikkal, bounced back with a gritty half-century, scoring 63 runs from 45 balls against the Mangalore Dragons in the last match. So far this season, Padikkal has scored 186 runs in 6 matches, averaging 31, and has been the top scorer in two of those matches. We expect Padikkal to replicate his performance from the last match and play a match-winning knock against the Blasters.

LR Chetan to be the Top Batter for the Bengaluru Blasters

LR Chetan was dismissed for a duck in his last match against the Mysore Warriors, a rare failure for him this season. So far, he has amassed a total of 196 runs in six matches, averaging 39.20 with a strike rate of 158.44. In the KSCA Maharaja Trophy, he has scored 1,381 runs in 38 matches, averaging 37. Chetan has been the top scorer for his team twice in the last six matches this season, and we expect a strong performance from him in this fixture. We back him to be the top batter for the Bengaluru Blasters in this contest.

Hubli Tigers vs Bengaluru Blasters Top Bowlers

Mohsin Khan to be the Top Bowler for the Bengaluru Blasters

The right-arm off-spinner has taken 10 wickets in 6 matches for the Bengaluru Blasters, averaging 10.90, and is the leading wicket-taker for his team. In the last match against the Mysore Warriors, Mohsin Khan picked up two wickets while conceding just 10 runs, making him the top bowler of the match for the Blasters. The last time he played against the Hubli Tigers earlier in the season, he took two wickets and was the top bowler for his side. We expect another impactful spell from him in this fixture against the Tigers.

Yash Raj Punja to be the Top Bowler for the Hubli Tigers

Yash Raj Punja picked up three wickets while conceding 29 runs against the Mangalore Dragons in the last match and was the top bowler for the Togers. Punja has been the main bowler and wicket-taker in the middle overs. He has taken 11 wickets in 5 matches this season and was the top bowler for the Hubli Tigers in four of those matches. Given his current bowling form and his wicket-taking ability, we are backing Punja to be the top bowler for the Hubli Tigers.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Hubli Tigers

The Hubli Tigers are the favorites to win this contest. The Tigers have won four of their six matches this season, including a victory over the Bengaluru Blasters. They have a more well-rounded team than the Bengaluru Blasters, who are more reliant on their top four batsmen to score most of the runs. We are backing the Hubli Tigers to continue their good form and secure their fifth win of the season.

Hubli Tigers to Win - 1.61 (Parimatch)
Bengaluru Blasters to Win - 2.17 (Parimatch)
