It will be a very important match for the Royals, considering their position in the points table so far.

The Royals are at the bottom of the table with a solitary win and two losses to their name in their 3 matches. Their negative net run rate of -2.367 needs a massive boost as well.

Both teams have some quality players in their lineup. While the Titans boast of emerging talents like Arshin Kulkarni, Atharva Kale, Mukesh Choudhary, and others, the Royals have the likes of Siddhesh Veer, Vicky Ostwal, Hrishikesh Raut, and others in their lineup. One can expect a good fight between bat and ball, as the Titans are at the top of the table and the Royals will be desperate for a win.

Match Details

Pitch Report

All matches of the MPL 2025 have been hosted by the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium (MCA) in Pune. The surface has been friendly for bowlers who have been in the game. Batters with game to play on tricky surfaces have succeeded so far. The tournament has been skilful, even though there has been a trend of chasing sides winning a lot.

The dew factor has meant that batting first might not be the best option to win matches. However, many matches have been affected by rain, which decreases the chances of a chasing side winning matches. The key for teams batting first would be to post an above-par total. Chasing big targets might still not be easy despite the dew factor.
