TEAMS PREVIEW
Chandigarh Preview
Chandigarh’s campaign kicked off in difficult fashion. In their first match they were defeated by an innings and 75 runs by Goa — conceding 566 in the first innings, despite a standout bowling effort from Vishu Kashyap who took 7 wickets for 173.
Batting notes:
Opening batter Manan Vohra, the senior figure in the lineup, holds a first-class average of 44.12 with 706 runs from 10 matches. However, the rest of the batting unit faltered in the opening match, failing to build partnerships and will need better contributions across the board.
Bowling notes:
The bowling unit showed promise despite the large total conceded: Vishu Kashyap’s 7-173 highlighted his workload and stamina, and Nishunk Birla chalked up 3-137 in the same match. The key now is converting those individual efforts into sustained pressure over multiple sessions.
Key players: Manan Vohra, Vishu Kashyap, Nishunk Birla
Chandigarh Predicted Playing XI:
Manan Vohra, Ankit Kaushik, Arjun Azad, Raj Bawa, Shivam Bhambri, Raman Bishnoi, Jagjit Singh, Vishu Kashyap, Kunal Mahajan, Mohit Soni, Nishunk Birla

Maharashtra Preview
Maharashtra begin their campaign having drawn their opening match and secured a first-innings lead, which gives them a solid platform for this next encounter.
Batting notes:
Ruturaj Gaikwad has been among the standout performers — he holds an impressive average of 82.28 from 5 matches with 576 runs in recent matches. Ankit Bawne also remains a dependable presence with 513 runs from 9 matches at an average of 39.46. The batting unit will aim to build on those core performances and post a commanding total.
Bowling notes:
Maharashtra’s bowling attack includes Mukesh Choudhary who has taken 24 wickets in 5 matches at an average around 26.5 and economy ~4.10. Hitesh Walunj has 34 wickets in 9 matches at 2.80 runs per over as per recent aggregates. The bowlers will look to make early inroads and enforce dominance on a potentially helpful surface.
Key players: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ankit Bawne, Mukesh Choudhary, Hitesh Walunj

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

CAG vs MHA Pitch Report
The match will be played at the Sector 16 Stadium, Chandigarh. The surface is likely to offer early assistance to seamers with some swing and bounce in the morning, while spinners may come into play as the match progresses. A first-innings total in the region of 300–350 could prove decisive.
Toss: To Bat
Given the surface and conditions, batting first appears to be the preferred option — letting a team take command of the match. Both teams may opt to bat first to capitalize on their batting strength and enforce scoreboard pressure.
CAG vs MHA
Winning Prediction
This contest pits a team under pressure (Chandigarh) against a side with slight momentum (Maharashtra). Maharashtra’s combination of strong batting statistics and a potent bowling attack gives them a clear edge. Chandigarh’s hope lies in their bowling showing and gaining early control, but their batting will need significant improvement.
Maharashtra will win the match
