Team Previews
ARCS Andheri Preview
ARCS Andheri are entering the 2025 season with a well-rounded and experienced squad led by Shivam Dube, who is coming off a red-hot IPL season. His ability to anchor the innings and accelerate when needed makes him the team’s most reliable batter. Andheri’s top order boasts stability in Akhil Herwadkar and Siddid Tiwari, while Prasad Pawar offers aggressive middle-order fireworks.
Musheer Khan adds dynamism and is touted as a breakout performer this season. Their bowling lineup features the experienced Badre Alam and Deepak Shetty with pace up front, while Himanshu Singh’s off-spin will be key in the middle overs.
Overall, Andheri look battle-ready with a mixture of experience and youth across departments and should be considered strong contenders for both this match and the tournament.
SoBo Mumbai Falcons Preview
SoBo Falcons’ title hopes took a slight early dent with Shreyas Iyer unavailable due to IPL final duties. However, the talented Angkrish Raghuvanshi will captain and also be their batting linchpin. He impressed in the IPL for KKR and will now look to lead from the front.
The Falcons’ batting unit features promising talents like Harsh Aghav, Mayuresh Tandel, and Vinayak Bhoir—players with big-hitting capabilities. Behind the stumps, Sai Chavan brings both calm and aggression when needed.
Bowling will be spearheaded by Siddharth Raut and 19-year-old pace sensation Prem Devkar. Ishan Mulchandani and Kruthik Hanagavadi will add variety to the spin attack. While they have potential, the absence of Iyer may hurt them early on.

Favourite Team in Today’s Match: ARCS Andheri
ARCS Andheri look the more complete team with a strong blend of seasoned campaigners and talented youngsters. Shivam Dube’s leadership, IPL form, and all-round capabilities give them a distinct edge. Musheer Khan and Prasad Pawar provide support in the batting department, while the bowling unit looks more cohesive with Badre Alam and Himanshu Singh expected to play key roles. Additionally, their core has remained stable, and the experience from previous T20 Mumbai campaigns will help them settle faster than a reshuffled SoBo side. Unless Falcons’ young guns punch well above their weight, Andheri should walk away with the points.
Pitch Report
The DY Patil pitch traditionally favors batters with its even bounce and shorter boundaries. Pacers may get early swing in the morning, but spin will play a role in the second innings.
