TEAMS PREVIEW

Kolhapur Tuskers Preview

The Kolhapur Tuskers, after three consecutive losses, have bounced back with a nail-biting win over the Raigad Royals in their last match. Bowling first, the Tuskers dismissed the Royals for 159 runs in 19.4 overs.

Anand Thenge was once again the star with the ball, securing his first four-wicket haul of the season with figures of 4/29 in 3.4 overs. Deepak Dangi, playing his first match, made significant inroads, finishing with a three-wicket haul (3/27). Left-arm seamer Atman Pore made light work of the tail, taking 2/31.

The Tuskers got off to a quickfire start, with openers Sachin Dhas (29 runs off 19 balls) and Ankit Bawne (15 runs off 12 balls) adding 43 runs for the first wicket. However, the game-changer was their skipper Rahul Tripathi, who scored a magnificent half-century (53 runs off 43 balls). Since his demotion to number 4, he has scored over 40 runs in back-to-back matches. Vishant More played a crucial hand in closing out the game with 22 runs off 15 balls.

Sachin Dhas, with 139 runs, and Ankit Bawne, with 123 runs, are the top run-scorers for the Kolhapur Tuskers. With the ball, Anand Thenge and Rajneesh Gurbani are the leading wicket-takers with eight wickets each.

Ankit Bawne, Dhanraj Shinde, Rahul Tripathi (C), Sachin Das , Siddharth Mhatre , Vishant More, Anand Thenge, Atman Pore, Rajneesh Gurbani, Shreyash Chavan, Deepak Natraj Dangi, Shrikant Mundhe

Eagle Nashik Titans Preview

The Eagle Nashik Titans, after a narrow five-run loss to the Raigad Royals in a rain-affected game they arguably should have won, bounced back in commanding fashion in their next match against the Satara Warriors, securing a three-wicket victory.

Bowling first, the Titans bundled out the Satara Warriors for 115 runs in 19.5 overs. Captain and leggie Prashant Solanki led the charge with a four-wicket haul (4/19), well supported by Rohan Damle (2/21) and Mukesh Choudhary (2/32).

The Titans then successfully chased down the target in 16.5 overs. Mandar Bhandari top-scored with 22 runs, while Ranjeet Nikam closed out the match, remaining unbeaten on 18 runs from 13 balls, which included two sixes.

The Titans' most recent match was washed out due to rain after they had scored 113/3 in 13 overs. In that innings, Arshin Kulkarni remained unbeaten on 48 runs from 33 balls, and Mandar Bhandari once again got off to a start, scoring 36 runs from 24 balls.

Rohan Damle and Mandar Bhandari are the top run-scorers with 189 and 184 runs respectively. With the ball, Prashant Solanki has been their main wicket-taker, claiming 13 wickets in 7 matches.

Eagle Nashik Titans Predicted Playing XI:

Arshin Kulkarni, Mandar Bhandari (wk), Atharva Kale, Ranjeet Nikam, Yogesh Dongre, Kaushal Tambe, Akshay Waikar, Rohan Damle, Prashant Solanki (c), Mukesh Choudhary, Manoj Ingale

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The weather at MCA Stadium, Pune on Monday, 16th June is expected to be around 25°C and it is going to a partly cloudy day with chances of rain during the match hours. The wind will be blowing at 19 km/hr, 88% humidity and 55% precipitation is expected. 

KTS vs EGNAT Pitch Report

The pitch at MCA Stadium in Pune has favored the batters, with most matches being high-scoring, especially the evening ones. However in afternoon games the pitch tends to remain flat with no real assistance to the bowlers and the ball coming onto the bat nicely. Expect a high scoring match where the team batting 1st is expected to score around 160-170 runs. 

Toss: To Bowl

Teams bowling first won all the last five T20 matches played at MCA Stadium in Pune. It is one of the best chasing grounds, where the surface gets flatter and favours the batters as the match progresses. We predict the team that wins the toss will opt to bowl first.
