The 6th match of the Karnataka Premier League 2019 will be played between Hubli Tigers and Bellary Tuskers at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

The match starts at 7:00 PM local time (IST) (1:30 PM GMT).

This game will be live on Star Sports and live streaming is available on Hotstar.

Preview

In the sixth game of the Karnataka Premier League (KPL), the Hubli Tigers will be playing the Bellary Tuskers. This will be the second game of the season for both these teams and they’ll look to add more points to their tally. The Tigers were outdone in their previous match against the Shivamogga Lions. The team struggled in both the batting as well as the bowling departments leading to a dismal show.

They’ll surely want to turn things around as soon as possible. On the other hand, the Tuskers were lucky to get over the line in the match against the Belagavi Panthers. They managed to hold on to their nerves in a humdinger of an encounter and won that game by five runs. This time, though, they will want to put up a better show and get the better of the Hubli Tigers.

Weather Report

In the last few days, there has been significant rain in Bengaluru and would be the same for another week or so. However, scattered thunderstorms are predicted during this match. Thus, if we are lucky enough, we might get to witness a full game. Humidity will be on the extremely high side.

The Chinnaswamy pitch is a decent cricketing track. Bowlers will find enough assistance and batting might get easy in the latter half of the innings.
