TEAMS PREVIEW
Bengaluru Blasters Preview
Mayank Agarwal and his men would like to get over last season's disastrous show and make a positive start. They won only once in ten games and finished at the bottom of the points table. The team has undergone several changes, with fresh blood coming in. Agarwal would look to lead from the front and take his side to a win.
Mayank Agarwal is an experienced campaigner, and the team needs a strong show from him at the top, along with LR Chethan. Mohsin Khan must anchor the innings at No. 3 and add runs with Varun Rao TN and Shubhang Hegde. The side will also need runs from Aniruddha Joshi and Suraj Ahuja towards the end.
The bowling attack lacks experience, and the side will expect a good burst with the new ball from Shubhang Hegde and Prateek Jain. Niranjan Malik and Kranthi Kumar must bowl tight lines in the middle overs, as the Mystics have big hitters. Aniruddha Joshi and Aditya Goyal will look to do well.
Bengaluru Blasters Predicted Playing XI:
Mayank Agarwal (c), Shubhang Hegde, Suraj Ahuja (wk), Mohsin Khan, LR Chethan, Aditya Goyal, Kranthi Kumar, Niranjan Malik, Aniruddha Joshi, Varun Rao TN, Prateek Jain
Bengaluru Blasters Actual Playing XI:

Devdutt Padikkal will lead the side this season, having missed the tournament last year due to injury. Padikkal, who has amassed vast experience in the Indian Premier League, would like to get off to a good start. They won the tournament in 2022, and Padikkal would like his players to take inspiration from that season.
Devdutt Padikkal and Aneesh KV will look to deliver a strong start in this game and take on the bowlers. The side will expect a good show from Luvnith Sisodia, Smaran R, and Sharath BR in the middle order. Aditya Nair and Vijaykumar Vyshak add firepower to the batting in the lower middle order.
They are up against a strong batting lineup, and Vyshak Vijaykumar must strike early, sharing the new ball with Ritesh Bhatkal. Sharan Goud and Praveen Dubey must bowl tight spells in the middle overs. They will also look for a good show in the ing role from Monish Reddy and Nair.
Gulbarga Mystics Predicted Playing XI:
Devdutta Padikkal (c), Vijaykumar Vyshak, Aneesh KV, Smaran R, Sharath BR (wk), Sharan Goud, Praveen Dubey, Aaditya Nair, Monish Reddy, Ritesh Bhatkal, Luvnith Sisodia

Average Turn
M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, has always been a good hunting ground for the batsmen as a fast outfield and shorter boundaries have aided them. Fast bowlers do well with the new ball. Smaller boundaries make it easy for the batsmen to hit the ball in the air. Spinners have always had it tough at this venue.
Toss: To Bat
The venue favors sides that bat first. It is one of the best venues to put up a score and defend it, as the conditions favor the bowlers in the second half. The side winning the toss won't hesitate to bat first.
BLB vs GBM
Winning Prediction
The Bengaluru Blasters must come out of their poor show from last season. They need to win the mental battle as the side lost several games from a winning position. The Gulbarga Mystics have the right balance in their batting and bowling and a good record against the Blasters, making them favorites.
