Kashi Rudras, who finished 4th in the points table and got a qualification ticket in the last match of the league stage, are now in the Finals of the opening season of the UPT20 League. They had a topsy-turvy kind of season where out of 10, they won 5 and lost 5 including two defeats in the super overs.
Opener batsman Karan Sharma and Wicketkeeper batter Shivam Bansal have played key roles in the batting of the Kashi team. Meanwhile, Mohammad Sharim and Prince Singh have been taking the bowling charges.
Meerut Mavericks started their campaign with a win in a super over against Kashi Rudras but then had the worst start they could have ever imagined of. They lost the next two consecutive matches by 7 and 8 wickets respectively. Since then, they never saw defeat as they recorded their 7th straight win in the semifinal defeating Lucknow Falcons.
MM finished first in the points table at the end of the League stage winning 7 out of 10 with a match being called off due to rain. Rituraj Sharma and skipper Madhav Kaushik have been in excellent form and leading the teams batting from the front. Young gun pacer Kartik Tyagi is also in red-hot form as he took 6 wickets in the semifinal game against Lucknow Falcons.
Kashi Rudras and Meerut Mavericks have battled two times in this tournament. Both teams are full of superstars and match-winners. Meerut have Rinku Singh and Madhav Kaushik in their team so Kashi also put Karan Sharma and Shivam Bansal in front.

KR vs MM Green Park Pitch Report and Weather Forecast
It is rather amazing that the same ground has been used for the whole season and the pitches are still in good condition. It would be difficult for the bowlers to restrict the hitters since it is expected that the pitch will favor the batters throughout the game. Fast bowlers might not get much help from the pitch in the first few overs, but spinners are probably going to get a lot of help in the middle overs.
As mentioned, it is a batting pitch but chasing hasn’t been easy on this ground. Any target over 160-170 would be considered good as the Final’s pressure adds value to those runs while chasing. The Weather forecast says it will be overcast but rain is not expected. So we will be enjoying a full 40-over game and get the UPT20 League Champions by night.
