The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru hosted two Maharaja Trophy 2024 matches on Thursday, August 29. The match between Bengaluru Blasters and Mangalore Dragons was entirely washed out due to ceaseless rains. On the other hand, the second match of the evening witnessed a high-scoring thriller between Gulbarga Mystics and defending champions Hubli Tigers.

Batting first, unbeaten number three batter Krishnan Shrijith blazed Hubli Tigers to 179/7 without forming a single notable partnership with any of his teammates. Shrijith himself bludgeoned 100* from 51 balls with 14 boundaries and three sixes.

Apart from Mohammad Taha’s 20-ball 35, no other Hubli Tigers batter managed to outscore Manvanth Kumar’s mere 11-run effort. For Gulbarga Mystics, opening speedster Monish Reddy bagged four wickets at the expense of just 32 runs in the high-scoring innings.

In response, the Mystics mowed down their target with four wickets and five balls to spare. Vijaykumar Vyshak anchored the run-chase with an attacking 33-ball 51. Rithesh Bhatkal (35* off 19) and Praveen Dubey (34* off 14) then slapped dazzling 30s in their unbroken 57-run partnership.
