Chhatrapati Sambhaji Kings will square off against Solapur Royals side in match 13 of the ongoing MPL 2023 season. Both teams have played four games in this tournament so far, and this fixture will mark the end of their league stage.
Team Previews
Chhatrapati Sambhaji Kings have had a horrible inaugural season in the MPL. They have lost each of their four games in the league stage so far and are currently placed at the bottom of the points table. Overall, their batting has been a big mess and is the major reason behind their poor campaign. However, they will be looking to win the last league match against the Solapur Royals and end the tournament on a high.
Meanwhile, Solapur Royals just won their first match in their last outing. They lost each of their first three games and finally opened their account in their last game, chasing a low score against Puneri Bappa. As of now, the Royals are not in a comfortable position to qualify for the top four, as Puneri Bappa's have a much healthier NRR with two more points under their belt. However, they will still be looking to keep the winning momentum going, hoping for an outside chance to qualify and end the league stage on a high.
