The Qualifier 2 match between Puneri Bappa (PB) and Kolhapur Tuskers (KT) in the Maharashtra Premier League 2023 promises to be an exciting clash. Both teams have shown their strengths and have had notable performances throughout the tournament.

Kolhapur Tuskers have been in good form, particularly their bowling unit. They have been successful in picking up wickets consistently in their previous matches, which has helped them restrict the opposition to low scores. With impressive performances from their bowlers, they have maintained a strong hold on the run rate and prevented their opponents from setting challenging targets. Despite losing the rain-affected qualifier one, they will be determined to bounce back and secure a place in the finals.

Puneri Bappa, although they had a rough patch with three consecutive losses before the playoffs, showed resilience in their do-or-die match against the Eagle Nashik Titans.

Pitch Report

Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune will likely offer a well-balanced pitch for this game and a fair contest between bat and ball. In the previous five T20 matches played at the venue, pacers have been dominant, accounting for 65% of the total wickets taken, while spinners have taken 35%. This indicates that the pacers have found more success in terms of picking up wickets. Additionally, the average number of runs scored in the first inning at the venue is 121, which suggests that the pitch might provide some assistance to the bowlers and may not be overly favourable to the batters.
