Team Previews
Kolhapur Tuskers Preview (Team Strength & Key Players)
Kolhapur Tuskers head into this clash with a sense of renewed confidence. After struggling through three consecutive no-results and losses, their spirited win over Raigad Royals has reenergized their campaign. Bowling remains their strength, spearheaded by Anand Thenge who took a 4-wicket haul, and Deepak Dangi who impressed with a 3/27 on debut.
Batting-wise, Rahul Tripathi’s aggressive 53 against Royals turned the tide in their favor. Sachin Dhas and Ankit Bawne form a steady top-order pairing, while Vishant More and Atman Pore can contribute vital middle-order runs.
Kolhapur have a better balance across all departments and appear sharper in pressure moments.
Satara Warriors Preview (Team Form & Challenges)
Satara Warriors have been battling form issues throughout the tournament, with five losses in eight matches. They narrowly lost to Raigad Royals in their last game, despite a heroic 45* from Harshal Kate.
Om Bhosale, with 189 runs, has been their best batter so far, and Rajvardhan Hangargekar has led the bowling attack with 10 wickets. However, the support cast has been inconsistent, especially during crunch moments. Their batting collapse and inability to defend low totals have hurt them repeatedly.
Having beaten Kolhapur earlier in the season, Satara Warriors will look to draw inspiration from that victory.

Favourite Team in Today Match
Kolhapur Tuskers enter this match as the favourites owing to their better balance in all departments and current form. Their bowling unit, led by the experienced Anand Thenge and swing specialist Rajneesh Gurbani, has consistently restricted opponents under par totals. The emergence of Deepak Dangi adds depth to their attack. In the batting department, Rahul Tripathi’s match-winning innings in the last game was a massive boost to the team’s morale. Furthermore, the consistency shown by Sachin Dhas and Ankit Bawne makes Kolhapur’s top order more dependable compared to the fragile Warriors’ lineup. Their superior net run rate and momentum give them a psychological edge. Although Satara Warriors defeated them earlier this season, Kolhapur appears to have turned a corner and are unlikely to make the same mistakes twice.
