As the KSCA Maharaja Trophy enters its middle round, teams will want to get back on track and gain momentum before the league stage. Shivamogga Lions lost both of their opening games of the season, which did not bode well for them. In this game, the Bengaluru Blasters, who lost their opening game, will try to get their first victory and points. Both clubs want to win this game to gain momentum.
The Blasters will play this match for the second time in eighteen hours after their initial victory. Similar to the Lions, the side captained by Shubhang Hegde had dropped their first two games but rallied to win the third game by a commanding five-wicket margin and began the season by securing two crucial points.

Srikantadatta Narasimha Raja Wadeyar Ground Pitch Report:
At Mysore's Srikantadatta Narsimha Raja Wadeyar Ground, batting has been seen to get harder as games progress. The goal for batters should be to utilise the powerplay overs to the fullest. But bowlers are also anticipated to benefit greatly from the surface, particularly now that it has become moist from the city's recent intense rains. The team that wins the toss should definitely aim to bowl first while keeping all of these things in mind.
Weather Forecast:
On match day, there will likely be cloud cover and temperatures between 12 and 22 degrees Celsius.
