Maharaja Trophy 2024: Match 28, BB vs SL Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between BB vs SL?

Bengaluru Blasters (BB) will take on Shivamogga Lions (SL) in Match 28 of the Maharaja Trophy 2024 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on August 28. The upcoming game is a dead rubber as the Blasters are perched atop the table getting qualified for the playoffs. On the other hand, thanks to the dismal show by the Lions they will play their final game of the tournament after being eliminated in the tournament. 

It is the tussle of David versus Goliath, as Blasters with six victories in eight games clash against Lions who have a mere three wins in nine games. However, the Mayank Agarwal-led team will not be complacent, given Gulbarga Mystics nearly toppled them previous game. Their middle-order was exposed and this comes as a better opportunity to execute the drawing board plans.

Match Details

Pitch Report

The Chinnaswamy Stadium deck is usually a batter paradise and it has lived up to its reputation in the ongoing league. The pacers who can take the pace off will enjoy bowling at death and spinners will have a hard time generating turn. The small boundaries will add to their woes of constraining the onslaught. On the weather front, it will be a cloudy evening with no hint of rain and temperatures hovering around 20 degrees Celsius.
