HT vs BT Dream 11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips and Playing XI Updates

It is the start of a new week in the Karnataka Premier League and Hubli Tigers will be taking on Ballari Tuskers in the afternoon game at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.

Hubli's campaign didn't get off to a great start as they were brushed aside by Shivamogga Lions by 6 wickets on Saturday. KB Pawan with his 53-run knock and Mithrakanth Yadav were the only positives from that match.

On the other hand, Ballari Tuskers scraped by a margin of 5 runs against Belagavi Panthers. Although the batsmen could only muster up a total of 144, the bowling line up led by Krishnappa Gowtham and Prasidh Krishna managed to restrict Belagavi.

Fantasy Tips and Suggestions

Wicket-keeper: Two keeper can be picked for this Dream 11 side. The choices will be KB Pawan who scored a fifty in the last match and Ballari Tuskers' captain CM Gautam.

Batsmen: The four batsmen for this match will be Mohammad Taha, Devdutt Padikkal, Abhishek Reddy and Shishir Bhavane. Reddy and Paddikal started off their campaign with 35 and 54 runs respectively against Belagavi Panthers. On the other hand, Taha and Bhavane had a relatively quiet first match but they are proven performers.

All-rounders: K Gowtham had a great first match wherein he defended thirteen off the final over to help Ballari post a thrilling win against Belagavi. His big hitting can also be helpful with respect to Dream 11 points. Aditya Sommana, who had a fantastic 2018 KPL season only managed to pick up one wicket against Shivamogga but he is a safe pick and can put in a match winning performance any time soon.

Bowlers: The well-known Prasidh Krishna and Bhavesh Gulecha will represent Ballari while the lone Hubli player will be left-arm spinner Mithrakanth Yadav. All these three bowlers had a good outing in the last match.
