Puneri Bappa and Kolhapur Tuskers are set to lock horns in the inaugural match of Maharashtra Premier League T20, to be played at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune on 15th June at 8:00 PM IST.
The tournament will see six teams laying their claim at the coveted trophy. While the PB’s lineup boasts of IPL stalwart Ruturaj Gaikwad, KTs would bank on Kedar Jadhav’s extensive domestic and international career. Both teams look balanced on paper and would like to start their campaign on a winning note.
With a seating capacity of around 45,000 spectators, MCA, Pune hosted its last T20 game on 5th January 2023, played between India and Sri Lanka.

Since it’s the first edition of the league and all teams are making their debut, it is difficult to predict a clear winner. However, R Gaidwad’s stellar presence makes the balance swing tilt slightly towards the Bappas. On the other hand, Kedhar Jadhav’s expertise as a limited-over allround cricketer makes it an even-steven contest. Watch out for new T20 heroes like Shinde & Shidhaye for PBs, and Bawne and Shaikh for KTs.
Wicket-keepers: S Shinde
Batsmen: K Jadhav, R Gaikwad, H Sanghvi, A Bawne
All-rounder: A Shidaye, N Shaikh
Bowlers: T Singh, S Jamale, A Pore, R Chaudhari
For Small League, Head to Head contest: R Gaikwad, K Jadhav
For Grand League, Mega Contest: R Gaikwad, N Shaikh
The pitch is likely to support batters so it is a good option to go with 5 batters and 2 all-rounders and balance it with four reliable bowlers.
Toss may play a crucial role here. The team winning the team should prefer pacers over slow bowlers.
The tournament will be broadcasted live on the National Television channel (DD Sports) and streamed online
