Team Previews
Aakash Tigers MWS Preview
Aakash Tigers MWS have shown glimpses of potential but are currently underperforming. With only 1 win in 4 matches, they sit 6th on the table with 2 points and a +0.429 NRR. Rain has played spoilsport in two games, and their close losses have hurt morale.
They lost to Maratha Royals in a 9-over match and were narrowly defeated by NaMo Bandra Blasters by just 1 run. Their only win came in a 5-over match vs North Mumbai Panthers, which they won by 22 runs. Despite scoring 211 against Andheri, the rain-affected result didn’t favor them.
Batters like Jay Bista and Shams Mulani have provided stability, while the bowling has lacked consistency at the death. To bounce back, a well-rounded performance is needed to halt the Falcons’ charge.
SoBo Mumbai Falcons Preview
The Falcons have been one of the most complete teams this season. With 3 wins in 4 matches, they have excelled with both bat and ball. They dominated NMP by 9 wickets and beat ARCS Andheri in a dramatic Super Over finish. Their only loss came against Eagle Thane Strikers.
Shreyas Iyer has been a calm leader, anchoring the innings, while players like Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Akash Parkar have made strong contributions. The bowling attack, led by Vinayak Bhoir and Siddharth Raut, has restricted opponents with disciplined spells.
Their ability to chase or defend, depending on the toss, makes them the more balanced outfit heading into this clash.
