Ratnagiri Jets – Team Preview
Ratnagiri Jets, the defending champions, have bounced back impressively after a sluggish start, winning their last two games convincingly. Their batting unit is anchored by Azim Kazi, who leads the tournament run charts with 223 runs in 5 innings, including a match-winning 72 in the previous fixture. Openers Atharva Dharmadhikari and Dhiraj Phatangare have also clicked recently, adding crucial early runs.
Their bowling has found rhythm with Satyajeet Bachhav (3/17 vs Raigad Royals) leading the charge, supported by Pradeep Dadhe and Chormale. The Jets’ bowling unit now looks balanced and disciplined, capable of defending competitive totals or dismantling chases.
If their top order continues to fire, the Jets are a serious threat. However, their inconsistency while bowling first remains a concern.
Kolhapur Tuskers – Team Preview
Kolhapur Tuskers got off to a flyer in MPL 2025, beating Ratnagiri Jets by 7 wickets while chasing 174. However, their campaign has since derailed slightly, with two tight losses and one no-result. The major issue lies with their misfiring top order—Rahul Tripathi and Ankit Bawane, both of whom have failed to convert starts into big scores after early promise.
The shining light has been Shrikant Mundhe, who has contributed 91 runs at a strike rate above 130. Rajneesh Gurbani has led the bowling department with 6 wickets, ably supported by Deepak Dangi, who picked up 2 wickets in a rain-affected match.
Their bowling attack has shown consistency by restricting teams under 180. If Tripathi and Bawane can regain their form, Kolhapur Tuskers are likely to turn their campaign around.
