Mangalore Dragons vs Bengaluru Blasters Chance of Winning

The Mangalore Dragons, fresh off a 16-run victory over the Hubli Tigers, maintained their unbeaten streak. Batting first, the Dragons posted a huge score of 195/5 despite a shaky start at 20/2, as both their openers fell in quick succession. Aneesh KV (62 runs from 47 balls) and Macneil Hadley Noronha (56 runs from 40 balls) stabilized the innings, forming a match-winning partnership of 107 runs for the third wicket. Adarsh Prajwal (19 runs), S Shivaraj (16 runs), and Kranthi Kumar (30 runs) provided the much-needed push in the end overs, helping the Dragons finish strongly.

Carrying their momentum into the bowling innings, the Dragons dismissed the in-form Mohammed Taha for a duck. Although the Tigers added 65 runs for the second wicket, Kranthi Kumar broke the partnership, and the Tigers struggled to maintain momentum as the Dragons chipped away with wickets at regular intervals. Kranthi Kumar was the wrecker-in-chief, finishing with a four-wicket haul and figures of 4/28. Shreevathsa Acharya (2/20) and Shreyas Gopal (2/33) also chipped in with two wickets each.

Bengaluru Blasters head into this contest on the back off a eight wicket win over the Shivamogga Lions in their last outing in a rain affected clash which was reduced to six overs per side. The Blasters bowling first restecited the Shivamogga lions to Just 62/6,where the Blasters skipper Shubhang Hegde was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 3/7, off-spinner Mohsin Khan picked up two wickets and Naveen MG also chipped in with one wicket but was a tad expensive.

Then the Blasters chased down the target in just 4.3 overs, courtesy of collective batting performance where LR Chetan (16 runs) , Rohan Patil (12 runs) added 25 runs in 9 balls for the first wicket. Mayank Agarwal (18 runs) and Shubhnag Hedge (14 runs) sealed the win for the Blasters. With this win they climb up to third place on the points table with 4 points in three matches.
