ARCS Andheri

ARCS Andheri will feel a touch hard done by after leaving their opening match against SoBo Mumbai Falcons without any points. They made a promising start at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy, restricting the Falcons to just 26 for 1 in the first three overs after opting to bowl.

Their batting lineup boasts power and experience, with Shivam Dube, who impressed in the IPL with 357 runs at a strike rate of 132.22 for Chennai Super Kings, alongside the dynamic Musheer Khan and seasoned campaigner Akhil Herwadkar, known for his calm presence and past stint with Mumbai Indians.

On the bowling front, Badrey Alam and Aishwary Surve can strike early with the new ball. The attack is further bolstered by Ajay Mishra and Deepak Shetty, who add control and variety through the crucial middle overs.

ARCS Andheri vs Aakash Tigers MWS outfield report

Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai

In T20 cricket, chasing has become the preferred strategy, and since the weather is a little hazy, the captain who wins the toss will probably bowl first.

The weather in Navi Mumbai is expected to be gloomy with the possibility of morning rain, which could affect the game.

At the Dr. D.Y. Patil Sports Academy, the field typically tilts toward the hitters. As the game goes on, batting becomes easier, however, seamers may benefit from the early dampness in the opening few overs. In the middle period of the game, particularly in the second half, spinners could be used.
