Team Previews
Kashi Rudras Preview
Kashi Rudras have been the most consistent unit in this edition of the Uttar Pradesh T20 League, winning 7 out of 10 games in the league stage. Their dominance has been built on a strong batting lineup led by skipper Karan Sharma, who has scored 411 runs at a strike rate of 145.23, including a century and three fifties. He has been the rock around whom the entire batting order has revolved. Abhishek Goswami and Uvais Ahmad have contributed with over 190 runs each, providing reliability at the top. The likes of Shubham Chaubey and Deepak Rana have provided depth and the ability to accelerate in the middle and late overs.
Their bowling unit has been equally impressive. Atal Bihari Rai and Shivam Mavi have combined for 36 wickets, striking regularly and maintaining tight control. Kartik Yadav’s economy of just 5.17 has made him a key asset in choking the opposition. Sunil Kumar has also been a vital contributor with 12 wickets at 6.03, adding balance to their attack. With their all-round strength and consistency, Kashi Rudras enter Qualifier 1 as strong contenders.
Probable XI
Karan Sharma (c), Uvais Ahmad (wk), Shubham Chaubey, Shiva Singh, Kartik Yadav, Deepak Rana, Saksham Rai, Rishabh Rajput, Atal Bihari Rai, Sunil Kumar, Shivam Mavi

Meerut Mavericks Preview
Meerut Mavericks have been the second-best team in the league, winning 6 of their 10 matches to finish just behind Kashi Rudras. Their batting unit has been spearheaded by Swastik Chikara, who scored 329 runs with three fifties, including a brilliant 64 off 38 in their final league game. Rituraj Sharma and Madhav Kaushik have been steady contributors, both crossing the 250-run mark this season.
The team’s biggest star remains Rinku Singh, who has played two iconic match-winning innings this season. His unbeaten century against Gorakhpur Lions and a match-winning 78* against Kashi Rudras earlier prove he is the biggest threat in this knockout clash. With his ability to anchor or accelerate, he will be crucial.
On the bowling front, Vijay Kumar leads with 14 wickets at an economy of 7.79, while Zeeshan Ansari has been consistent with 11 scalps. Yash Garg and Kartik Tyagi have added firepower, together claiming 27 wickets. This balanced lineup ensures Meerut Mavericks remain a dangerous outfit capable of upsetting the table-toppers.
Probable XI
Swastik Chikara, Akshay Dubey (wk), Rituraj Sharma, Madhav Kaushik, Rinku Singh (c), Ritik Vats, Yash Garg, Vijay Kumar, Zeeshan Ansari, Kartik Tyagi, Ansh Dwivedi

Favourite Team in Today’s Match
Kashi Rudras enter Qualifier 1 as the stronger side due to their all-round consistency. Their batting unit, led by Karan Sharma, has repeatedly delivered in crunch moments, while their bowling attack is arguably the best in the competition. The combination of Atal Bihari Rai’s wicket-taking ability and Shivam Mavi’s pace threat makes them a formidable force in powerplays and death overs. With quality depth across departments and the momentum of finishing league leaders, Kashi Rudras clearly hold the edge. While Meerut Mavericks rely heavily on Rinku Singh for batting firepower, Kashi Rudras have multiple match-winners who can turn the game. This balance makes them the favourites for today’s clash.
