Punjab vs Maharashtra Chances of Winning

Punjab have been a middling team all season long but they turned things around and took their first win against Chandigarh. Although the former failed to chase down a 173-run stand, having been bundled out for 142, the bowlers made sure the batters had a second chance to redeem themselves. Chandigarh were restricted to 195 in the third innings and the Uday Saharan-led team overhauled the target with ease - the skipper posted 117* runs on the board, followed by Jashanpreet Singh and Harnoor Singh who scored 57* and 37 runs, respectively. In the end, they clinched victory by an eight-wicket margin.

Maharashtra and Karnataka were neck-and-neck in the previous game where the latter scored 313 runs, and the Ankit Bawne-led side posted 300 runs on the board. Jalaj Saxena and Prithvi Shaw top-scored with 72 and 71 runs, respectively, while the rest of the batters made miscellaneous contributions. The bowlers allowed the opposition to notch up an additional 310 runs but at this juncture, the match was brought to an end in a deadlock due to a lack of time.

Punjab vs Maharashtra Prediction & Tips 2025

Punjab to score low before first dismissal

Punjab have alternated between three different opening batters this season but their instability does not inspire confidence. In the previous four matches, Jaskaranvir Singh Paul, Harnoor Singh and Prabhsimran Singh have posted scores of 14, 20, 15, 27, 52, 15*, 5 and 44 runs. With the exception of two competent totals, their partnership has not been particularly beneficial for the team which does not bode well for them as they clash with Maharashtra.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Maharashtra

Maharashtra and Punjab are rather closely matched in the competition this season as they occupy fourth and fifth place, respectively, in the Group B standings. Both sides have the same results since they bagged one victory and drew three matches but the former’s net run rate of 1.244 is superior to that of Punjab who have a net run rate of 0.837. Although Punjab have a daunting lead in their head-to-head tally against Maharashtra with three wins, they are expected to be on the backfoot in the competition this season due to their inferior batting prowess.
