Kolhapur Tuskers vs Puneri Bappa Prediction & Betting Tips 2025

Rahul Tripathi hasn’t set the stage on fire yet in the ongoing MPL season. He has struggled despite opening the innings on the majority of occasions. But he has immense experience and has also been regularly featuring in the Indian Premier League (IPL). It is only a matter of time before his bat does the talking and can be expected to score at least 20 runs in this match.

Murtaza Trunkwala has regularly scored good enough runs while opening the innings for his team. In the previous game, he mustered 29 runs off 21 balls. He has been consistently scoring runs for the team this season. For the same reason, Murtaza can be backed to score at least 25 runs once again and this time at a better strike rate.

Kolhapur Tuskers vs Puneri Bappa Top Batters

Siddharth Mhatre to be Kolhapur Tuskers’ top batter

Siddharth Mhatre has carried Kolhapur Tuskers’ batting on multiple occasions this season. He bats at four and with openers not in great form, has come in to bat in the powerplay overs itself. In three innings so far, he has scored 65 runs at a strike rate of 144.44 and an average of 32.5. He is expected to be the man to step up yet again for the Tuskers and become their top batter.

Yash Nahar to be Puneri Bappa’s top batter

Yash Nahar, like his opening partner Trunkwala, has been consistent this season. He is the second-highest run-scorer for Puneri Bappa and will be keen to step up for his team. In five innings so far, he has scored 141 runs at a strike rate of 136.89 and an average of 28.2 with 82 being his best score. Nahar can be expected to become the top batter of Puneri Bapp in this match.

Kolhapur Tuskers vs Puneri Bappa Top Bowlers

Rajneesh Gurbani to be Kolhapur Tuskers’ top bowler

With so much weather around, Rajneesh Gurbani will be itching to bowl as he swings the new ball a lot. He has so far picked up six wickets in four matches while sending down 15 overs and conceding 113 runs at an economy of 7.53 only. Gurbani has the ability to move the new ball and can run through the opposition batting line-up on his day. Hence, he can be backed to become the top bowler for the Tuskers.

Nikit Dhumal to be Puneri Bappa’s top bowler

Nikit Dhumal is the leading wicket-taker for Puneri Bappa so far. He has accounted for 10 wickets in four innings in this MPL. He has bowled 12.3 overs and has been taken for 105 runs at an economy of 8.4. The man is a genuine wicket-taker and can be backed to become the top bowler for his team yet again.
