Bengaluru Blasters: Finish With 11 Points, Semis Depends on Hyderabad Hunters

Bengaluru Blasters started the tournament with a motivational come-from-behind win but then were whitewashed in the second match and then failed to win the first one even at home. With remaining two matches scheduled at home, Bengaluru have a good chance to grab a semifinal spot. They are struggling to set the winning unit, even Ashwini Ponnappa played Singles after 6 years. She failed to win but shows promise in Singles though. They lost the 4th succumbed too. They finished campaign on 11 points, placed and their only hope is Hyderabad Hunters losing their last match winning just 1 point.
