Maharaja Trophy 2024: Match 12, GMY vs MD Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between GMY vs MD?

In this article we will be analyzing the GMY vs MD Match Prediction. With only one win to their name, Gulbarga Mystics are currently second last on the points table. To turn things around and fight for a spot in the semi-finals, the Devdutt Padikkal-led side cannot drop more points, as it is a very closely contested race. They will host Mangalore Dragons in their next match, which are ahead of Gulbarga in net run rate. They too have managed to win just one out of their three matches and will be gunning to pick up their second win and go ahead in the race.

Mangalore lost their last game to Mysore Warriors, who were sensational with the bat. Chasing 227 runs, keeper-batter Krishnamurthy Siddharth hit a half-century but there was little contribution from others. They eventually lost the match on the VJD method after rain played a spoilsport. Meanwhile, for Gulbarga, Smaran R wreaked havoc and hit a century against Mysore in the last match, which helped the team pick up a three-wicket win.
