Mumbai South Central Maratha Royals beat ARCS Andheri by 6 wickets 🏆
ARCS Andheri have displayed complete structural dominance this season. They won their last match against Bandra Blasters chasing 145 runs by 9 wickets in 13.5 overs.
Their batting relies heavily on the stellar form of Divyaansh Saxena, who has clubbed 174 runs, including a highest score of 88*, while maintaining a blistering strike rate of 197.73. Arjun Tendulkar has been spectacular in his middle-order role, smashing 75 runs at an average of 75.00 and a strike rate of 197.37. Prasad Yashwant Pawar adds further steel to the top order with 75 runs of his own, while Musheer Ahmed Naushad Ahmed Khan remains dangerous with 65 runs in just 3 innings.
The bowling department has been exceptionally rewarding. Ajay Bainkteshwar Mishra has led with absolute precision, scalping 8 wickets in 4 matches at a phenomenal economy rate of 5.33. The explosive Shivam Dube has contributed beautifully as an all-rounder, taking 7 wickets, while Prasoon Angad Singh has provided great balance by bagging 5 wickets in his 3 games.
Why Can ARCS Andheri Win This Game?

MSC Maratha Royals have showcased glimpses of sheer brilliance but haven't quite stitched together complete team performances. Royals had to lose their last match against Triumph Knights MNE by wickets. The Royals posted 152 runs in 1st Innings. However, they couldn’t defend such a low total and lost the match by 6 wickets as Knights chased it in 16 overs.
Tushar Uday Deshpande has been the defining star for the Royals, leading the charts with 97 runs at a blistering strike rate of 194.00, including a fine half-century. Chinmay Rajesh Sutar and Sahil Bhagwanta Jadhav have offered solid support, contributing 89 runs each, while Sachin Madhukar Yadav has anchored the middle phases with 69 runs.
The bowling attack is spearheaded by Irfan Umair, who has bagged 6 wickets across 4 matches. Maxwell David Swaminathan has chipped in effectively with 5 wickets, while Atharva Sanjay Bhosale and Tushar Deshpande have picked up 4 wickets apiece to round off the core attack.
Why Can MSC Maratha Royals Win This Game?
The Royals boast immense lower-order firepower and dynamic boundary-hitting capabilities. If power hitters like Tushar Deshpande and Sahil Jadhav click in unison during the middle and death overs, they can easily overpower any bowling setup in the competition.

The pitch at Wankhede Stadium over the last 10 matches has been a balanced one with assistance to both the batters and bowlers. The average 1st innings score is around 170-175 runs, where the surface slows down a touch in the later stages of the match and run scoring becomes difficult. Expect a moderate scoring match, where a score of 180 could be par.
Score Prediction
If ARCS Andheri Bat First: 175-190 runs
If MSC Maratha Royals Bat First: 170-185 runs
Chasing has been the heavily preferred strategy under lights due to the heavy dew factor making ball control tough for bowlers in the second innings. Both teams have won most of their matches while chasing in night matches and we predict the team that win’s the toss will opt to bowl first.
Toss Prediction: ARCS Andheri to win the coin toss.
This promises to be an incredibly hard-fought battle. MSC Maratha Royals have the personnel to turn any game on its head if their explosive power-hitters break free early on.
However, ARCS Andheri has operated like a well-oiled machine. Their top-order batsmen are in great run-scoring rhythms, and their bowling attack, led by Ajay Mishra and Shivam Dube, is far more stable and restrictive. Expect a highly engaging, high-scoring contest, but ARCS Andheri's clinical consistency should guide them to their fourth victory of the season.
ARCS Andheri to Win.
