Team Previews
Eagle Thane Strikers Preview
Eagle Thane Strikers have looked clinical throughout the league stage. With a solid batting unit and a flexible bowling attack, the side has been difficult to beat. Atharva Ankolekar has led the side smartly, contributing with the ball and bat. The batting trio of Varun Lavande, Anish Mukund Chaudhery, and Sairaj Patil will be crucial, although the former two need to overcome a rough patch in form.
Middle-order stability comes from Ajit Yadav and Vinay Kunwar, while Shashank Attarde and Shashikant Kadam provide finishing muscle. On the bowling front, Onkar Tarmale, Ankur Singh, and Amit Pandey have performed efficiently. Their bowling unit has depth with spin and pace options available to exploit the Wankhede surface. If their top order fires, they’re tough to contain.
MSC Maratha Royals Preview
MSC Maratha Royals, despite finishing fourth, are a potent unit with match-winners in their ranks. Siddhesh Lad remains their batting pillar, supported by Sahil Jadhav, who will aim to give them a fast start. However, their middle order has been patchy. The trio of Parag Khanapurkar, Vaibhav Mali, and Awais Khan need to deliver under pressure.
In the lower middle, Aditya Dhumal and Saksham Parashar can provide a late blitz. The bowling unit was below-par in the last outing, with Irfan Umair, Maxwell Swaminathan, and Vaibhav Mali leaking runs. They’ll need to be disciplined with line and length, especially against Thane’s confident batting order.
