Aakash Tigers MSW vs MSC Maratha Royals Chance of Winning

Aakash Tigers MSW will take on MSC Maratha Royals on the opening day of the Maharashtra Premier League 2025. The match will be played at the Wankhede Stadium from 2:30 PM IST on Wednesday, June 4. The league which was successfully staged in 2018 and 2019 is returning after a gap of six years. India internationals like Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Shreyas Iyer and Sarfaraz Khan have made themselves available for the third edition of the Maharashtra Premier League.

Sarfaraz Khan's Aakash Tigers MSW will have a solid chance of beating MSC Maratha Royals on Wednesday. Sarfaraz Khan is currently in England playing for India A, but the likes of Shams Mulani, Hardik Tamore, and Jay Bista are expected to guide the team perfectly in his absence. MSC Maratha Royals lack any big name in their line-up, and Siddhesh Lad will feel the pressure against a very good looking Aakash Tigers MSW.
