BIJ vs MW Weather Report
Mysuru Warriors could end up cursing the weather again with a good chance of rain forecast and thunderstorms on the Bangalore radar again too.
BIJ vs MW Pitch Condition
After a slight break with tradition, the Bangalore pitch – though still offering more to the bowlers in the past – has behaved a little more as expected in the latest fixtures. Nevertheless, on a well-used wicket a score of 160 will give the bowlers something to defend.
BIJ vs MW Toss Prediction
Bijapur Bulls lost after being asked to bat first last time out, and so will be doubly keen to win the toss this time and elect to chase.

Bijapur Bulls Team News & Playing 11
BIJ Team News
Bijapur Bulls have been unchanged in their two games so far in KPL 2019, though they will be looking for more economical bowling this time out. KC Cariappa has been one of the worst culprits, bowling five overs for 45 without a wicket in the two matches. He is viewed as a key player, however, and so will expect an improvement.
BIJ Key Players
Bharat Chipli: Scores of 39 and 50 so far from last season’s top KPL run scorer has highlighted exactly how important he is to the Bulls. He has scored at a strike rate of 139.06 too.
Raju Bhatkal: Top-scored last time out with 62 from 43 balls and shared a useful partnership with Chipli for the third wicket. He also scored 20 in the first game and is a key figure in the top order.
Gneshwar Naveen: Yet to make his mark with the bat at the top of the order but his figures of 1-28 from four overs were among the best. A big score opening the batting would help alleviate some pressure too.
BIJ Team Form
Frustrated by the weather in their first game, which resulted in a VJD-method tie with Bengaluru Blasters, the Bulls posted 162/7 against Bellary Tuskers last time out. Bharat Chipli hit 50 and Raju Bhatkal added 62. In reply, however, they failed to keep the run rate down and fell to a seven-wicket defeat in 18/5 overs.

Mysuru Warriors Team News & Playing 11
MW Team News
Mysuru Warriors were well placed when the rain came down last time out, with Dega Nischal’s cheap dismissal the only negative. As a result, it could be an unchanged Warriors team for this game against the defending champions.
MW Key Players
Jagadeesh Suchith: Took all three wickets to fall in their rain-ruined opening game to prove what he can offer with the ball.
Krishnamurthy Siddharth: Top-scored with 77 against Shivamogga Lions and was unbeaten on 49 when the rain curtailed the most recent game. His batting form will have caught the eye of the Karnataka selectors.
Amit Verma: The Goa man was the other unbeaten batsman when the rain curtailed the last match and his unbeaten innings of 23 showed signs of him getting back to the sort of form that saw him hit a century in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy earlier this year.
MW Team Form
Mysuru Warriors had bowled 13 overs when the rain ended their first match and batted for 11 when their third (and most recent) match was ruined. They were well set in both games too. In between, however, they lost their only completed game despite Krishnamurthy Siddharth hitting 77 against Shivamogga Lions. Chasing 167 to win, the Warriors fell to 152 all out in the final over.
Mysuru Warriors Predicted Playing 11
Dega Nischal, Krishnamurthy Siddharth, Amit Verma (c), Shoaib Manager, Manjesh Reddy, Vinay Sagar (wk), Jagadeesh Suchith, Devaiah, Aniruddha Joshi, M Venkatesh, Vijay Kumar
