Kashi Rudras vs Noida Super Kings Eliminator T20 Match Prediction, UP T20 League 2026

Kashi Rudras vs Noida Super Kings prediction for the Eliminator of the Uttar Pradesh T20 League 2026 is expected to be a high-pressure knockout contest at Green Park, Kanpur. Both teams finished the league stage with 10 points from 10 matches, but Kashi Rudras secured third position because of their superior net run rate, while Noida Super Kings finished fourth. The winner of this Eliminator will keep its campaign alive and advance to Qualifier 2, making this one of the most important matches of the tournament.

Kashi Rudras enter the contest with confidence after defeating Meerut Mavericks by 56 runs in their previous match. They posted 175/4 and then bowled Meerut out for 119, with Karan Sharma and Upendra Yadav scoring impressive half-centuries. Rishabh Rajput and Kartik Yadav also produced outstanding bowling performances, taking three wickets apiece. Noida Super Kings, however, have better recent form, having won three of their last five matches. They defeated Meerut Mavericks by five wickets in a rain-shortened DLS contest, with Ravi Singh providing an explosive start and Shiva Singh producing a sensational five-wicket spell.

Kashi have dominated the recent head-to-head battle, winning four of the last five meetings, including a convincing 67-run victory over Noida on August 28. That result could give the Rudras additional confidence, although Noida will be eager to respond in the knockout stage. Karan Sharma has been Kashi’s leading run-scorer with 355 runs, while Atal Bihari Rai has been their leading wicket-taker with 14 wickets. For Noida, Prashant Veer has scored 169 runs and Shiva Singh has taken 14 wickets.

Green Park has generally offered a balanced T20 surface, but recent matches have produced relatively modest first-innings totals, with chasing sides enjoying an advantage. Spin and disciplined pace bowling can be effective on a slower surface. Weather could also influence the contest because rain and thunderstorms have affected several recent UP T20 League matches.

Overall, Kashi Rudras have a slight edge because of their superior head-to-head record, stronger net run rate and convincing recent win over Meerut. Noida’s better recent form and dangerous bowling attack make this a close contest, however. Our prediction gives Kashi Rudras a narrow advantage and expects them to handle the pressure of the Eliminator slightly better.

Kashi Rudras vs Noida Super Kings Match Details

Kashi Rudras Team Preview

Kashi Rudras finished the league stage in third position with five wins and five defeats from 10 matches. Their 10 points were equal to Noida Super Kings, but Kashi’s better net run rate gave them the higher position.

The Rudras enter this knockout match after a convincing 56-run victory over Meerut Mavericks. Batting first, they scored 175/4 in 20 overs before dismissing Meerut for only 119 in 19.2 overs.

Karan Sharma was one of the main reasons behind the strong total. He scored 57 from 40 balls, including six fours and three sixes. His innings provided stability at the top while allowing the attacking batters around him to play freely.

Upendra Yadav then supplied the acceleration. He smashed 57 from only 29 balls, hitting four fours and five sixes. His strike rate of more than 196 made a major difference during the latter stages of the innings.

Virat Jaiswal also played an important supporting role. He scored 33 from 24 deliveries and helped Kashi maintain momentum before the final overs.

The bowling performance was equally impressive. Rishabh Rajput and Kartik Yadav claimed three wickets each and conceded only 13 and 12 runs respectively from their four-over spells.

Atal Bihari Rai also contributed two wickets for 20 runs. His ability to break partnerships makes him an important player against Noida’s middle order.

Karan Sharma has been Kashi’s leading run-scorer in the tournament with 355 runs. That makes him the most important batting player for the Rudras in this Eliminator.

Atal Bihari Rai has taken 14 wickets and leads their bowling attack. His role could become even more important if the Green Park surface slows down during the second innings.

Kashi also have the psychological advantage of winning four of their last five meetings against Noida. Their latest meeting on August 28 ended with Kashi winning by 67 runs after scoring 217/7.

The main concern for Kashi is inconsistency. They have won only two of their last five completed matches, losing three during that period.

They will therefore need another complete performance. Their top order must provide a competitive total, while the bowlers need to maintain the discipline they showed against Meerut.

With knockout pressure increasing the value of every wicket, Kashi’s recent big win and superior head-to-head record give them a slight advantage.

Noida Super Kings Team Preview

Noida Super Kings finished fourth in the league stage with five wins and five defeats. They also collected 10 points, but their inferior net run rate placed them below Kashi Rudras.

Unlike Kashi, Noida enter the Eliminator with stronger recent form. They have won three of their last five matches, giving them confidence heading into the knockout stage.

Their previous match against Meerut Mavericks was heavily affected by rain and reduced to five overs per side. Noida successfully chased a revised target of 39 runs, reaching 38/5 in 3.3 overs.

Ravi Singh provided the biggest batting impact. He smashed 17 runs from just six balls, including two sixes. His aggressive approach demonstrates how quickly he can change the momentum of a short innings.

Aaditya Sharma remained unbeaten on 10 from seven deliveries and helped complete the chase.

Captain Prashant Veer scored four from two balls. Although his contribution was small in the rain-shortened match, he remains one of Noida’s most important players.

Prashant Veer has been Noida’s leading run-scorer in the tournament with 169 runs. The team will need a bigger contribution from him in a full 20-over contest.

The biggest positive from their previous game was the bowling attack. Shiva Singh produced a remarkable spell of 5/6 from two overs, completely destroying Meerut’s batting lineup.

Prashant Veer also took two wickets for 16 runs, while Kunal Tyagi conceded 11 runs in his one over.

Shiva Singh has taken 14 wickets in the competition and is Noida’s leading wicket-taker. His ability to attack in the powerplay and middle overs makes him a major threat to Kashi’s batting order.

Noida will also take confidence from their ability to win under difficult conditions. They successfully chased a DLS-adjusted target in their previous game despite losing wickets.

However, their recent head-to-head record against Kashi is a concern. They have won only one of the last five meetings.

The 67-run defeat to Kashi on August 28 will also be fresh in their minds. Kashi scored 217/7 in that match, while Noida were dismissed for 150.

Noida’s best route to victory will be early wickets. If Shiva Singh and the other bowlers can remove Karan Sharma and Virat Jaiswal cheaply, Kashi could struggle to build another big total.

Overall, Noida have enough form and bowling quality to win this Eliminator, but they need their batting unit to produce a much stronger performance than in their recent rain-shortened game.

Pitch Report – Green Park, Kanpur

Green Park is expected to provide a balanced but slightly slower surface for this Eliminator. The available UP T20 League ground statistics put the average first-innings score at around 170 and the average second-innings score at around 165. However, recent matches at the venue have produced lower totals, indicating that batting may not always be straightforward. Spinners can become effective if the pitch offers grip, while pacers who vary their pace should also get assistance. A score around 160-170 should be competitive, with 175 or more representing a strong total. Chasing may remain the preferred option if conditions become easier under lights.

Weather Report – Kanpur

Kanpur could see a humid and unsettled evening, with thunderstorms or showers possible. Rain remains an important factor because recent UP T20 League matches have already been affected by interruptions.

Broadcast Details

The Uttar Pradesh T20 League 2026 is available through digital streaming, with FanCode listed as a platform for live coverage. Television and streaming availability can vary depending on the latest broadcast arrangements. The Eliminator is scheduled to begin at 7:30 PM IST, and fans should check the official streaming listings before the match for the confirmed live coverage. Live scores, commentary and scorecards are also expected to be available through major cricket platforms.

Toss Strategy

If Kashi Rudras Win the Toss

Kashi Rudras should bowl first. Recent conditions suggest that chasing can be useful at Green Park, while the target provides a clear reference on a potentially slow surface. Kashi’s bowling attack performed extremely well against Meerut, so captain Akhil MS’s side can look to restrict Noida before chasing under controlled conditions.

If Noida Super Kings Win the Toss

Noida Super Kings should also bowl first. Shiva Singh has shown that he can exploit opposition batting early, and bowling first would allow Noida to use their strongest wicket-taking options before chasing. If they can restrict Kashi below 165, their chances of reaching Qualifier 2 will increase significantly.

Toss Prediction

Kashi Rudras are predicted to win the toss and bowl first. The chasing option remains attractive because the target gives the batting side a clear requirement on what could be a slower Green Park surface. Both teams have reasons to field first, particularly with the possibility of evening weather changes. Kashi’s stronger head-to-head record and recent confidence also make them our marginal toss prediction. However, the toss itself remains an independent event and should not be treated as a decisive indicator of the match result.

Score Prediction

If Kashi Rudras Bat First

Kashi’s recent 175/4 against Meerut shows that their batting unit can produce a strong total. If Karan Sharma and Virat Jaiswal provide a solid start and Upendra Yadav finishes aggressively, a score around 165-175 is possible.

If Noida Super Kings Bat First

Noida’s batting will need to improve significantly from their recent rain-shortened outing. If Ravi Singh and Prashant Veer provide a strong foundation, they could reach 155-165. A total above 170 would give them a major advantage.

Probable Batsman & Bowler

Karan Sharma is Kashi’s leading tournament run-scorer with 355 runs and recently scored 57 against Meerut. Atal Bihari Rai has 14 wickets and remains the team’s leading wicket-taker. For Noida, Prashant Veer leads the batting charts with 169 runs, while Shiva Singh has 14 wickets and recently produced a five-wicket haul.

Kashi Rudras vs Noida Super Kings Winning Chances

Kashi receive a narrow 55% probability because they have dominated the recent head-to-head contest and arrive after a comprehensive 56-run win. Noida’s stronger recent form prevents Kashi from becoming clear favourites.
