Puneri Bappa (PB) are set to lock horns with Raigad Royals (RAR) in Qualifier 2 of the ongoing Maharashtra Premier League 2025 at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Saturday, June 21.

The Pune-based team lost their first opportunity to reach the finals as they lost to Eagle Nashik Titans in Qualifier 1. The Prashant Solanki-led side chased down a 154-run target with eight wickets. Yash Kshirsagar and Co. will get a second chance to make it to the finals on Saturday and would want to make it count.

Meanwhile, Raigad Royals defeated Kolhapur Tuskers in the Eliminator. Rushabh Rathod's men chased down a 165-run target with six wickets and two balls to spare. These two sides met each other on two occasions during the league stage, with both winning one game each.

Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium Pitch Report

The surface at the MCA Stadium has been quite good for batting. There has been some assistance for fast bowlers with the new ball. There is a high possibility of spinners coming into play, too, as the game progresses. As a result, the team that wins the toss will look to bowl first. Chasing is going to be a good option, not only for what the surface offers, but also for the chances of rain that might be there.
