Pitch Report

The M Chinnaswamy Stadium heavily favors the batters, with its small boundaries adding more challenges for bowlers. Batters will play their shots easily, as the ball should come onto the bat well. Spinners who can effectively vary their length, particularly by pulling it back, will be valuable assets. Given the conditions, both sides are likely to prefer batting second if given the choice.

Probable Best Performers from BB vs HT

Probable Best Batter: Bhuvan Raju

Bengaluru Blasters' Bhuvan Raju could be the probable best batter in the upcoming match against the Hubli-based franchise. The 26-year-old has started the season with a bang and in three games has already smashed 117 runs and is the third-highest run-scorer of the competition. Raju is coming off two back-to-back fifties and will be hoping to add another half-century under his name.

Probable Best Bowler: LR Kumar

Hubli Tigers' pacer LR Kumar could be the probable best bowler in the forthcoming game against the Bengaluru Blasters. In two games, Kumar has managed to scalp six wickets at an economy of 10.66. Though the pacer has been expensive he has provided crucial breakthroughs and the Tigers will be hoping for similar performance from him once again.
