The Gulbarga Mystics (GMY) will lock horns with the Hubli Tigers (HT) in Match 16 of the Maharaja T20 Trophy 2025 at the Srikantadatta Narasimha Raja Wadeyar Ground, Mysore, on Monday, August 18.

The Gulbarga Mystics are currently placed fourth in the points table with two wins to their name. Coming off a victory against the Shivamogga Lions, they will be keen to maintain their winning momentum and climb further up the standings.

Meanwhile, the Hubli Tigers sit comfortably in second place with six points. A win in this encounter would push them closer to securing a spot in the next round, and they will be determined to continue their strong run in the tournament.

The surface at the Srikantadatta Narasimha Raja Wadeyar Ground, Mysore, is expected to retain some moisture due to recent rains. This could make the ball come onto the bat a bit slower, forcing batters to be cautious with their stroke play. Bowlers, meanwhile, will have an opportunity to capitalise by maintaining disciplined lines and lengths, which could make it easier to pick up crucial breakthroughs.

Luvnith Sisodia (wk), Nikin Jose, Prajwal Pavan, Smaran Ravichandran, Krishnamurthy Siddharth, Prithviraj Shekhawat, Shashi Kumar K, Praveen Dubey, Vijaykumar Vyshak (c), Lavish Kaushal, Monish Reddy

The top-order batter Mohammed Taha will be the one to watch out for in the clash. The right-hander is currently the leading run-scorer of the tournament with 218 runs in four innings at a remarkable average of 72.67. He is known for his aggressive yet calculated stroke play, and has the ability to seize control of the game from the very start and guide his team to victory.

The skipper Vijaykumar Vyshak will be the key man with the ball for the Gulbarga Mystics. His four-over spell, especially the overs inside the powerplay, will be vital in setting the tone for his side. With seven wickets to his name so far in the tournament, Vyshak has consistently delivered breakthroughs and will look to replicate his performances to steer the team toward another win.
