BPS vs BTS 11th Match Prediction

BPS vs BTS Team Previews

Belagavi Panthers

Having played just a couple of matches in the competition, the defending team are sitting in the bottom half of the table, but won't be too worried about their matches already rescheduled.

They lost their first match to Bengaluru Blasters where Robin Uthappa wrecked havoc on their bowlers as the Blasters scored a mammoth total batting first. Stuart Binny was successful to dismiss a few batsmen, but the rest of the bowlers and fielders were left to being spectators with Uthappa hitting the ball out of the part so often.

Expectedly, they failed to chase the target and lost the match by 67 runs. The early wicket of Stalin Hoover proved to be enough to stop them in their tracks as the Blasters' spinners weaved their web of spin around the Panthers. Overall, the Panthers are a good unit and as it was the case last year, they are good enough to get past any team on their day.

Bellary Tuskers

Similar to the Panthers, the Tuskers, too, have been able to get off the mark on the points table, as far as a win is concerned. They are placed at the third spot from the bottom with two losses in three-game totaling to one point.

A better net-run rate has kept them just above the Panthers, but this could change in the game to follow. The Tuskers bolstered their bowling department in the auction by picking up the likes of T Pradeep, Abrar Kazi, and SL Akshay from the auction, but the strategy hasn't reaped fruits until now. While the performance of their bowlers has been alright, their batting has lacked an outright aggressor who can clear the boundaries right from the word go.

They were bundled out for just 145 runs in their match against the Hubli Tigers and succumbed to scoreboard pressure when chasing against the Bijapur Bulls. Their batting has failed on both occasions, while chasing as well as while setting the target and the onus will be on their skipper CM Gautam and Rohan Kadam to not only provide them with a solid start but also to finish with a flourish and if they can do that, they'll be a force to deal with.
