Maharaja Trophy 2024: Match 1, BB vs GMY Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between BB vs GMY?
The match will be played at Chinnaswamy Stadium.
The 2024 edition of the Maharaja T20 League will kick off with a match between Bengaluru Blasters and Gulbarga Mystics at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. In 2023, the Blasters finished at the bottom of the table, after which, they added some gun players and will be hoping to qualify for the playoffs this time around.
The Mystics, on the other hand, played the semi-finals in the last edition but lost to Mysore Warriors by 36 runs. The Devdutt Padikkal-led side has shown a lot of promise and the goal this year should be to go the distance and clinch the trophy.

Probable Top Performers from BB vs GMY
Probable Best Batter: Mayank Agarwal
Mayank Agarwal had an under-par season with the bat last year. Even in the IPL, he wasn’t the first-choice opener in Sunrisers Hyderabad and for which, he had to spend a lot of time on the bench. Keeping the mega-auction in mind, Agarwal will be determined to prove himself and do well in the Maharaja T20 League.
Probable Best Bowler: Vijaykumar Vyshak
Pacer Vijaykumar Vyshak picked up nine wickets in 11 matches last year. He needs to improve, especially since he is in the India reckoning. The 27-year-old doesn’t have the captaincy burden this year, which is why, he should be gunning to do well.
