Team Previews
Puneri Bappa Preview:
Puneri Bappa are shaping up to be a strong contender for the playoffs. In their last completed match, they successfully chased down 186 against Kolhapur Tuskers. Murtaza Trunkwala has been their most consistent batter with 174 runs from 6 matches, while Advay Shidhaye and Ramakrishna Ghosh provide solid middle-order support.
Ramakrishna Ghosh, although expensive with the ball, made a match-winning impact with a quickfire 50 in that win. Nikit Dhumal (11 wickets) and Sachin Bhosale (8 wickets) form the backbone of their bowling unit. Their only concern lies in inconsistent spells from their fifth and sixth bowling options.
If their top 4 batters fire, Puneri Bappa are very difficult to stop. Their balance of youth and experience makes them a dangerous outfit, especially on the Pune pitch which tends to support stroke play.
Satara Warriors Preview:
The Warriors have been inconsistent throughout the tournament but will take confidence from their recent 14-run (DLS) win over Ratnagiri Jets. Rajvardhan Hangargekar was lethal with the ball (3/14), while Pavan Shah’s 45 off 22 balls laid the foundation in the chase.
Om Bhosale is their leading run-scorer with 189 runs, while Hangargekar (9 wickets) leads their bowling chart. However, the team struggles with middle-order collapses and lacks a reliable finisher.
Their bowling is their stronger suit, especially in the powerplay and death overs, but their inability to string together partnerships is their major weakness.

Favourite Team Today: Puneri Bappa
Puneri Bappa have a better-balanced side and have performed more consistently this season. Their top-order form, with Trunkwala and Shidhaye, and death bowling by Dhumal, gives them a solid foundation. They also have better momentum and stability in their lineup. Satara, although talented, are over-dependent on individual brilliance and lack the finishing depth.
