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.

Head-to-Head Record

Raigad Royals and Eagle Nashik Titans have faced each other in the MPL in 2 instances. Nashik has had the advantage even in the Head-to-Head record, with an unbeaten record. In both of their matches, the Titans have beaten the Royals and have a good chance to make it a Hat-trick of wins in the upcoming match.
