KPL 2015 Match 21: Bellary Tuskers v Belagavi Panthers, Preview

KPL 2015 Match 21: Bellary Tuskers v Belagavi Panthers, Preview: Mysuru, September 13, 2015: Bellary Tuskers who have won their last two outings will be looking for a little miracle other than luck when they take on Belagavi Panthers in the Karbonn Smart KPL 2015 at the SDNR Wadiyar Ground here on Monday.

Languishing at the bottom of the table, the Tuskers now find themselves fourth on the points table with their successive victories. They got their highest total on Saturday against Mangalore United and the team management will be feeling that the team is coming in to their own during the business end of the League.

Six of the batsmen chipped in with useful contributions and if skipper Bharat Chipli also gets into his groove, then the Tuskers can fuel hopes of putting it across the Panthers.

However, their bowlers will have to make that little extra effort to be disciplined and bowl to the team’s plan and needs.

The Panthers have made the cut to the qualifiers and whether they will continue to use their best players or check out their bench strength is a tricky one.

The Panthers boast of a team that is well balanced. They have the depth in batting, their bowlers have held their own and the fielding has looked sharp. They are probably matched by the Bijapur Bulls for their strength.

The Tuskers have a challenge on hand and whether they can charge their way past the Panthers, Monday will tell!
