Team Previews
ARCS Andheri Preview:
ARCS Andheri began their campaign with a rain-affected tie that ended in a Super Over defeat to SoBo Falcons. However, their performance before the rain interruption was promising. Their top-order features the explosive Shivam Dube—fresh from a successful IPL 2025 season with CSK—and Musheer Khan, known for his elegant strokeplay and fearless intent.
Akhil Herwadkar brings composure and experience, having represented Mumbai Indians in the IPL. If these three click, Andheri can post or chase down any total. Raza Mirza and Onkar Jadhav provide middle-order stability.
Their bowling attack includes swing bowler Badrey Alam and pacer Aishwary Surve, who make full use of the new ball. Ajay Mishra and Deepak Shetty round out the bowling with control and wicket-taking abilities in the middle overs.
With batting firepower and a settled bowling unit, ARCS Andheri look well-rounded.
Aakash Tigers MWS Preview:
Aakash Tigers MWS too suffered an interrupted first match, falling short in a rain-shortened 9-over contest. Despite the loss, signs of promise were visible—Jay Gokul Bista and Arjun Dani played cameos, while Shams Mulani remains the core around whom the batting revolves.
Sarfaraz Khan, one of India’s brightest domestic stars, adds firepower to the middle order. With his recent red-ball success, he’ll be keen to adapt quickly to the T20 format.
The bowling line-up is led by Sylvester D’Souza, who’s accurate with the new ball, while Mulani, Dani, and Zaid Patankar provide depth. Kruthik Hanagavadi, a rising prospect, adds a mystery element to the attack and could be a difference-maker on a helpful pitch.
Aakash Tigers possess balance, but will need sharper execution to overpower ARCS Andheri.
