Score Prediction
If Meerut Mavericks bat first: 155-170 runs
If Lucknow Falcons bat first: 150-165 runs
Conditions at Ekana Stadium could make chasing the more favourable option, as two of the last three matches at the venue have been won by teams batting second. With the average first-innings score at 144 runs, the toss-winning captain is likely to choose to bowl first and look to chase the target under the lights.
Toss Prediction: Lucknow Falcons to win the toss.
Meerut Mavericks finished at the top of the points table with 15 points from 10 matches, including seven wins, while Lucknow Falcons finished second with 13 points after six wins. However, Lucknow have been in outstanding recent form, winning all five of their last five matches, while Meerut have won two and lost three.
Meerut have the better recent head-to-head record, winning three of the last five meetings, but Lucknow's current form and their Qualifier 1 victory over Meerut give them an advantage heading into the final. The contest should be close, but Lucknow look slightly better placed to win the title.
Lucknow Falcons to win the match.
