In this article we will be analyzing the BB vs MD Match Prediction. Bengaluru Blasters (BB) and Mangalore Dragons (MD) collide in match No. 16 of the ongoing Maharaja Trophy 2024 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Thursday, August 22.
Mayank Agarwal-led Bengaluru Blasters have started their campaign on a bright note, having registered three wins on the trot before suffering a five-wicket defeat to defending champions Hubli Tigers in their last game. The Blasters are placed at No. 2 on the points table, only below the Tigers, who have won all four matches they have played so far.
Meanwhile, Mangalore Dragons, spearheaded by Shreyas Gopal, are placed fifth on the points table. They lost a couple of rain-curtailed fixtures on either side of an eight-wicket win against Shivamogga Lions. Dragons’ most recent encounter against Gulbarga Mystics ended without a result due to rain as the teams had to split the points between them.

Pitch Report
The M Chinnaswamy Stadium traditionally favours batters and is regarded as a nightmare for bowlers. The boundaries are on the shorter side and this makes it very difficult for teams to defend totals. Out of the first 13 games, seven were not curtailed or washed out due to rain. All seven of these games were won by chasing teams. The wickets remain true for batting in both innings.
