Kalyani Bengaluru Blasters (KBB) lock horns with Coastal Kings Mangaluru (CKM) in Qualifier 1 of the ongoing Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 2026 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Friday, July 10.
Shubhang Hegde’s Kalyani Bengaluru Blasters have won nine matches and lost only one this season. They finished at the top of the points table with 18 points. The Blasters are on a seven-match winning streak and will be the favourites to win this contest.
However, Coastal Kings Mangaluru will want to give the Blasters a tough time on Friday. Karun Nair and Co. finished second in the standings with five wins and four defeats from 10 games. One of their matches was washed out. They have won their last two games and would be hoping to spring a surprise in Qualifier 1.
