Both teams have had an impressive performance, with four wins from five matches. However, the Jets secured the top spot in the table due to their higher net run rate compared to the Tuskers. The winner of this match will directly advance to the final, while the loser will get another opportunity in the Qualifier 2. Eagle Nashik Titans (ENT) and Puneri Bappa (PB) have also qualified for the playoffs and will face each other in the Eliminator match on Tuesday (27 June).
The Jets faced PB in their last league game and beat them by eight runs on the VJD method in a rain-curtailed fixture. On the other hand, the Tuskers squared off against the Titans in their last fixture where they won by nine wickets.
Pitch Report
The pitch at the MCA Stadium is a bit slow in nature. It offers less pace and bounce, which means the ball tends to grip off the surface. The batters will have to adjust to the pace of the pitch before they can start playing high-risk strokes.
