Mangalore Dragons Team News & Playing 11
MD Team News
Mangalore Dragons suffered their second loss of the season when they lost to Hubli Tigers. The team looks weak in the bowling so we feel that Rohit More can return to the side.
MD Key Players
- Sharath BR - Sharath BR has been the best batter for Mangalore Dragons. He backed up his century against Mysore Warriors with 38 against Hubli Tigers.
- K Siddharth – K Siddharth scored 46 in the first game against Shivamogga Lions and scored 47 in the last game against Hubli Tigers. A big knock seems to be on the way.
- K Gowtham – Krishnappa Gowtham is the team's lead spinner, and he will have to spell magic with the ball if Blasters have to end their losing streak.
MD Team Form
Mangalore Dragons have been below par, winning one game and losing two matches comprehensively.

Bengaluru Blasters Team News & Playing 11
BB Team News
Blasters have lost all three games but they are a good team on paper. We feel they will back the players and play the same team in the upcoming game against Mangalore Dragons.
BB Key Players
- Mayank Agarwal - Mayank Agarwal returned to form and scored a 50 in the last game against Hubli Tigers. Mayank Agarwal has to be very consistent for the team if they are to make an impact in the tournament.
- Pavan Deshpande – The team had high hopes from Pavan Deshpande who had a stellar run last year but he has been below par so far. However, he is a good batter and should find form soon.
- Shubhang Hegde – Shubhang Hegde has just picked up four wickets in three games but he has looked like the best bowler of the team. Wickets are bound to come when someone is bowling as well as him.
BB Team Form
Bengaluru Blasters have comprehensively lost all three games of the Maharaja Trophy 2023.
Bengaluru Blasters Predicted Playing 11
Mayank Agarwal (c), Jeswath Acharya, Pavan Deshpande, Suraj Ahuja (wk), Shubhang Hegde, Lochan Appanna, LR Kumar, Bhuvan Raju, Rishi Bopanna, Pradeep T, Sarfaraz Ashraf
