Mumbai South Central Maratha Royals Preview

Mumbai South Central Maratha Royals have had a bit of a stop-start season. They edged past Aakash Tigers MWS in their first outing with an 8-run win, only to fall flat in the next game, suffering a 5-wicket defeat to Triumphs Knights MNE.

Their batting hasn’t really clicked yet. Across two matches, no one has managed to cross the fifty mark. Saksham Parashar and Rohan Raje have been the top contributors so far, each posting scores in the 40s.

There’s some promise in the lineup, though, with Siddhesh Lad leading from the front. Known for his calm approach, he’ll be central to holding things together. Around him, Raje, Chinmay Sutar, and Khan Awais Naushad are the hitters the team will look to for firepower.

With the ball, they’ve got a few dependable options. Maxwell Swaminathan, Aditya Dhumal, and Irfan Umair are capable of breaking partnerships. The bowling attack looks ready to deliver again, but how far the Royals go will largely depend on whether their batting can pull its weight.

Mumbai South Central Maratha Royals Predicted Playing XI:

Khan Awais Naushad, Siddhesh Lad (c), Chinmay Rajesh Sutar, Rohan Raje, Sachin Madhuker Yadav (wk), Vaibhav Mali, Aditya Dhumal, Parag Khanapurkar, Maxwell Swaminathan, Ajay Singh Janu, Saksham Parashar

Mumbai South Central Maratha Royals Actual Playing XI:

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The pitch at the Dr. D.Y. Patil Sports Academy usually tilts toward batters, and that pattern held true in the two full games played here so far. Pacers might get a bit of movement up top thanks to some early moisture, but scoring tends to become easier as the innings wear on. Spinners could come into the picture during the middle overs, more so if they're bowling under lights. 

As for the conditions in Navi Mumbai, the forecast mentions overcast skies but barely any rain, so a full game looks likely.

ETS vs MSCMR Pitch Report

The average first-innings score at Dr. D.Y. Patil Sports Academy is 160. But in the two completed T20 Mumbai 2025 matches held here, teams batting first have gone well past that. ARCS Andheriput up 211-6 and won by 12 runs via the DLS method, while Triumphs Knights MNE managed 179-7 but lost by 5 wickets. With those numbers in mind, both sides will likely aim for something in the 190-200 range to feel comfortable heading into the second half.

Toss: To Bowl

With some uncertainty around the weather, captains winning the toss are likely to opt for chasing—something that’s becoming the norm in T20s.
