Hubli Tigers vs Gulbarga Mystics Chance of Winning

The Hubli Tigers head into this contest on the back off a three wicket loss against the Bengaluru Blasters in their last match, where they batted first and posted a score of 141/8. Once again a failure from their top four batters put pressure on the Tigers early in their innings but a superb half century from wicket keeper batter Shivakumar Rakshith (61 runs in 42 balls) and cameos from Krishnan Shrijith (20 runs in 24 balls) and Manvanth Kumar L (16 runs in 17 balls) powered the Tigers score past 140 runs.

But the score of 141 was never gonna be enough against a strong batting lineup of the Bengaliru Blasters. The Tigers bowlers really fought hard till the end, where the Blasters chased down the target in 19.2 overs. Yash Raj Punja once again was quite effective with the ball finishing with figures of 3/34. While all the other bowlers picked up one wicket each.

The Gulbarga Mystics are having a dream run at the moment in the Maharaja Trophy where after losing two of their first three matches, the Mystics won their next four matches and currently sit at the top of the points table with 10 points in 7 matches. In their last outing against the Shivamogga Lions secured a seven wicket victory in a high scoring game where they chased down 210 runs on the last ball of the match against the Mysore Warriors.

The top performers with the bat were Praveen Dubey who smashed 53 runs in just 19 balls smashing 7 sixes. Krishnamurthy Siddharth remained unbeaten on 49 runs, Smaran Ravichandran continued his good run of form scoring 39 runs. In the bowling department Lavish Kaushal was the top bowler with figures of 2/25.

Based on the performance of both the Hubli Tigers and Gulbarga Mystics in recnet matches, the Gulbarga Mystics have the better chance of winning this contest.

Hubli Tigers vs Gulbarga Mystics Prediction & Betting Tips 2025

Hubli Tigers captain Devdutt Padikkal's form this season has been inconsistent. His scores are 8, 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 and the last time he played against the Gulbarga Mystics, Padikkal scored seven runs. We expect him to make an impact this time around and score over 25 runs against the Gulbarga Mystics.

Hubli Tigers vs Gulbarga Mystics Toss Prediction

In the 20 matches played at the Srikantta Datta Narasimha Raja Wadeyar Ground in Mysore during the KSCA Maharaja Trophy 2025, teams that bowled first emerged victorious in 12 of the games.

Hubli Tigers vs Gulbarga Mystics Top Batters

Devdutt Padikkal to be the Top Batter for the Hubli Tigers

The skipper of the Hubli Tigers, Devdutt Padikkal, scored just 7 runs in the last match against the Bengaluru Blasters. So far this season, Padikkal has scored 194 runs in 7 matches, averaging 27.17, and has been the top scorer in two of those matches. We expect Padikkal to replicate his performance from the earlier matches and play a match-winning knock against the Gulbarga Mystics.

Smaran Ravichandran to be the Top Batter for the Gulbarga Mystics

Smaran Ravichandran has been the top scorer for the Gulbarga Mystics in three of the seven matches played this season. He has also scored consecutive half-centuries in two of the last three matches and was the top batter for the Mystics in the earlier fixture against the Hubli Tigers, where he scored 52 runs. With a total of 218 runs in seven matches, Ravichandran is the leading run-scorer for Gulbarga. Given his current form, we predict him to be the top batter for the Gulbarga Mystics in this fixture.

Hubli Tigers vs Gulbarga Mystics Top Bowlers

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

Yash Raj Punja picked up three wickets while conceding 34 runs against the Bengaluru Blasters in the last match and was the top bowler for the Tigers. Punja has been the main bowler and wicket-taker in the middle overs. He has taken 14 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.

Shashi Kumar K to be the Top Bowler for the Gulbarga Mystics

Shashi Kumar K has been the top bowler for the Gulbarga Mystics in three games of the last four games. He picked up one wicket in the previous match against the Mysore Warriors, continuing his good form with the ball. This season, Shashi has taken eight wickets in seven matches. We expect another strong bowling performance from him against the Warriors and predict he will take more wickets than any other Mystics bowler.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Gulbarga Mystics

The Gulbarga Mystics enter this contest as the favorites to win. The Mystics have been on a roll, winning each of their last four matches, which includes a four-wicket victory over the Hubli Tigers earlier this season. The Tigers, on the other hand, have struggled with the bat in their last couple of matches. We are backing the Gulbarga Mystics to topple the Hubli Tigers for the second time this season and secure their fifth win.
