Maharaja Trophy Season 4 To Commence On Aug 11 In Mysuru
Srikantadatta Narasimharaja Wadiyar Cricket Stadium: The fourth edition of the Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 will begin on Monday at the Srikantadatta Narasimharaja Wadiyar Cricket Stadium in Mysuru with an action-packed double-header. The tournament will be held as a closed-door event, with all 34 matches taking place at the venue from August 11 to 28. The opening fixture will see the Gulbarga Mystics face the Mangaluru Dragons. The Mystics, semi-finalists last season, will aim to start strongly, while the Dragons, who finished at the bottom of the table, will be eager to redeem themselves. Mystics top-order batter, Smaran R, recently named as a standby for the South Zone squad in the Duleep Trophy, said, I have always enjoyed playing the Maharaja Trophy. Over the years, it has grown into a feeder line system to the bigger stages like the IPL. On a personal front, I feel Im in a good headspace, raring to go out there and try contributing as much as possible for the teams success. Speaking about the season opener against the Dragons, he added, Its important to start the season well. With a good blend of experience and some quality youngsters, we are confident heading into the season. The second match of the day will bring a repeat of last years final as defending champions Mysore Warriors, take on the Bengaluru Blasters. Among the Blasters retentions this season is 24-year-old all-rounder Shubhang Hegde, who believes the side is entering the tournament with clarity and confidence. Im really excited. I was part of the auction table as well, so I knew exactly what we wanted and what we got was good, he said. Were excited because weve filled in most of the blanks, and I think weve got everything we need for any kind of pitch that were going to be on. Action will continue Tuesday with the Hubli Tigers beginning their campaign against the Shivamogga Lions in the first match of the day. The second fixture will see Mysore Warriors take on the Gulbarga Mystics. The league stage will run until August 25, followed by the playoffs comprising Qualifier I, the Eliminator, and Qualifier II, culminating in the Final on August 28. The top four sides at the end of the league stage will advance to the knockout phase. On all matchdays, the first clash will start at 3:15 pm, followed by the second match at 7:15 pm.
