Hubli Tigers Team News & Playing 11
Hubli Tigers put up a pretty decent show with the bat in the last match against Mysuru Warriors but it was not enough to give them a win. The team will want the likes of Mohammed Taha and KL Shrijith to fire at the top of the order along with Praveen Dubey to anchor the innings in the middle order in this must-win game against Bengaluru Blasters. Dubey has scored the most runs for the Tigers this KPL 2019 season - 159 runs - and is coming on the back of an impressive half-century.
Hubli Tigers had a rough day with the ball last time out when they could not prevent Mysuru Warriors to run away with the game. They will have to put in a much better bowling performance, and for that, they will be counting on Mitrakanth Yadav, Aditya Somanna and skipper Vinay Kumar to deliver the goods. Mitrakanth, the left-arm spinner with six wickets at an economy of 6.55, has been the team's best bowler so far in the tournament.
Hubli Tigers Predicted Playing 11
Mohammed Taha, Luvnith Sisodia, M Vishwanathan (wk), KL Shrijith, Shishir Bhavane, Praveen Dubey, Vinay Kumar (c), Aditya Somanna, David Mathias, Mitrakanth Yadav, Abilash Shetty
Bengaluru Blasters Team News & Playing 11
Bengaluru Blasters had a poor outing with both bat and ball in their previous match against Belagavi Panthers - they managed to muster only 110 in their 20 overs while batting first before their bowlers got hammered to concede a facile win to the opposition. In terms of batting, the Blasters will have their hopes pinned on their opening pair of Sharath BR and Rohan Kadam along with middle-order batsman Nikin Jose. Sharath has been their most impressive batsmen this KPL and it will be crucial that he scores big on Tuesday.
Anand Doddamani, Bharath Dhuri and Manoj S Bhandage are the best bets for the Blasters when it comes to bowling. Anand has taken four wickets this season and the left-arm spinner will be expected to deliver a strong performance with the ball. Pacer Bhandage will be bowling in the powerplay and the onus will be on him to provide the early breakthroughs.
Bengaluru Blasters Predicted Playing 11
Sharath BR (wk), Rohan Kadam, KN Bharath, Rongsen Jonathan (c), Nikin Jose, Rohan Raju, Manoj S Bhandage, Bharath Dhuri, Bharath Devaraj, V Koushik, Anand Doddamani

🏆 Hubli Tigers vs Bengaluru Blasters Prediction
Both Hubli Tigers and Bengaluru Blasters are currently placed fifth and sixth respectively on the points table with four points each. They will be taking on each other in their final league-stage fixture and it will take nothing less than a win here to keep their hopes alive for the playoffs. The Blasters beat the Tigers when these two sides met in the previous edition and that will give them the psychological edge. However, the latter have looked a slightly better team this season and have more players capable of producing strong performances with both bat and ball. Although Bengaluru Blasters cannot be written off completely, we are backing the Hubli Tigers to prevail here.
