Gulbarga Mystics Preview
In their previous match against the Hubli Tigers, Vijaykumar Vyshak’s team suffered a 7-wicket defeat. The absence of their captain and star batsman, Devdutt Padikkal, was sorely felt as none of the top-order batsmen were able to convert their starts into big scores. This upcoming game poses a challenging opponent for them, and Vyshak will be looking for his players to approach it with confidence.
The team’s batting line-up will heavily rely on a solid start from Aadarsh Prajwal and LR Chethan, who are the key players. In the middle order, partnerships between Aneesh KV, Smaran R, and Amit Verma will be crucial to score runs against the strong Warriors’ attack. Macneil Hadley Noronha and Avinash D will have important roles as finishers in the team.
Abhilash Shetty and Vijaykumar Vyshak have been impressive in the opening overs of both matches, and the team has high hopes for them. Avinash D and Noronha need to improve their line and length in this game, considering the strong batting lineup of the Warriors. The bowling attack also benefits from the variety provided by KP Appanna, Sharan Goud, Noronha, and Verma.
Gulbarga Mystics Predicted Playing XI:
The players in the team are Vijaykumar Vyshak (captain), LR Chethan, Aadarsh Prajwal (wicketkeeper), Aneesh KV, Smaran R, Amit Verma, Macneil Hadley Noronha, Sourabh Muttur, Avinash D, Sharan Goud, Abhilash Shetty
