Meerut Mavericks vs Lucknow Falcons Prediction & Betting Tips 2025

Madhav Kaushik lit up the UP T20 League season opener with a scintillating, match-winning knock of 95 runs off just 31 balls. His innings, which came at a staggering strike rate of 306.45, included 10 fours and 7 sixes. Last season, Kaushik scored 73 runs in two matches against the Lucknow Falcons, with his highest score of 52 coming in Qualifier 1. Given his current form and past performance against the Falcons, we predict that Madhav Kaushik will score over 23 runs in this match.

Meerut Mavericks vs Lucknow Falcons Toss Prediction

Winning the toss at Ekana Cricket Stadium seems to be a big advantage. In the two UP T20 League matches played there this season, the teams batting first have won both games. The pitch is balanced, offering something for both batsmen and bowlers, but with an average first innings score of 201 runs, it's clear that runs are easy to come by. The teams that have chased have struggled, failing to score more than 140 runs. The team that wins the toss are more likely to bat first.
