Prediction Summary
- The Mysore Warriors are the clear favorites heading into Match 2 of the Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 2025. As defending champions with a dominant final win over Bengaluru Blasters last season, they bring stability and star power—most notably Karun Nair, the top scorer of 2024, and SU Karthik, both backed by a capable pace attack including Prasidh Krishna.
- The Bengaluru Blasters have a strong lineage and talent—featuring Mayank Agarwal, Shubhang Hegde, and LR Chethan—they lost the last final and may feel the pressure today. The shift of venue to Mysuru—playing behind closed doors—levels crowd impact but doesn’t neutralize MW’s edge.
- Expert Prediction: Mysore Warriors to win—likely by 20–30 runs if batting first, or by 5–7 wickets if chasing.
