🔍 Recent Performance & Team Preview of Puneri Bappa and Eagle Nashik Titans
Puneri Bappa:
In their last 5 matches, Puneri Bappa have won 2 and lost 3. Their batting has been inconsistent, with openers failing to provide solid starts in 3 of their last 5 games. The middle order, led by Sujit Shelke (if available), has often crumbled under pressure, leaving the lower order to scramble. Their bowling attack, though, remains potent with Rahul Tripathi (pace) and Aditya Dhumal (spin) leading the charge. However, costly death overs in tight matches have been their Achilles’ heel.
Eagle Nashik Titans:
The Titans have won 4 of their last 5 matches, showcasing a well-rounded team. Their batting is anchored by explosive opener Harsh Sanghvi , who scored a crucial 3 runs off 3 balls in their previous narrow win 10. The middle order, featuring Shivam Dubey and Rohan Joshi , provides stability and finishing skills. Their bowling unit, led by Pratham Singh (7 wickets at 6.5 E/R) and Vikrant Auti , has been clinical, especially in powerplay and death overs. Sharp fielding and tactical nous from captain Milind Shinde have further bolstered their chances.
