The Hubli Tigers (HT) will take on table-toppers Kalyani Bengaluru Blasters (KBB) in Match 20 of the Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 2026 on Friday, July 3. The two teams met for the first time this season a day ago, where the Blasters emerged victorious by two runs in a nervy affair.
The Blasters sit at the top of the table with 12 points from seven games. They have lost one match all season and will be looking to finish their season on a high with just three games left. Their last game was against the Tigers, where they successfully defended a 203-run total.
The Tigers find themselves in fifth place, having won just two matches from the seven they have played. They will need to pick up their results as the business end of the season approaches. They played the Mysore Warriors on Thursday, July 2, and the match got washed out.
