We can safely say that the two best teams in the tournament have reached the final. Bengaluru Blasters and Gulbarga Mystics were the top two teams in the points table after the league stage. Blasters defeated Mystics in Qualifier 1 and reached the final. Gulbarga Mystics then faced Mysore Warriors in Qualifier 2 and won the game to book a berth in the final.
Bengaluru Blasters will start the match as favourites as they have been phenomenal in the tournament and most of their players are in form. Meanwhile, Gulbarga Mystics have done well in the recent few games thus they will be high on confidence as well.
The surface will be good for batting, as has been the case in all the games played at Chinnaswamy in the tournament. We are expecting a high-scoring final between these two teams laced with very good batters.
The weather is not very promising as rain is predicted for the next seven days in Bengaluru. There are high chances of rain on match day as well, but we are keeping our fingers crossed. The humidity will be high at 97 per cent while the temperature will range between 26 to 19 degrees.
