Karaikal Kniights and Mahe Megalo Strikers will lock horns with each other in the second game of the Pondicherry Premier League 2025 at the Cricket Association of Pondicherry Ground in Siachem, on July 7, 2025 (Monday), at 2:00 PM IST. While Mahe Megalo Strikers were the champions of the previous season, Karaikal Kniights finished second last on the table to cap off a disappointing season.

Karaikal Kniights vs Mahe Megalo Strikers Chance of Winning

Karaikal Kniights were largely ineffective last year, securing just three wins from 10 games, but the likes of Aqib Jawad and S Santhosh Kumaran were pretty good - something the Kniights will rely on once again this year. They need their new acquisitions to do well this season to have a realistic chance of ploughing through.

On the other hand, Mahe Megalo Strikers were right on money throughout, and it is expected that they will continue a similar kind of performance in this season as well. With the likes of Divyanshu Yadav, DR Elampriyan, Ritesh Gudge, Sagar Udeshi, and Samarth Saxena bringing a different set of qualities to the fore.

Karaikal Kniights vs Mahe Megalo Strikers Betting Tips

Bet on Fabid Ahmed to do well. The Pondicherry batter delivered some of his best knocks last year and showed his impact in the recently concluded Pondicherry T20 as well. Vishal Khokhar is also an impactful performer who can deliver big-time with the bat. I will also have a decent stake on Rajaram Sivaramakrishnan to do well.

Karaikal Kniights vs Mahe Megalo Strikers Best Batters

Aqib Jawad to be Karaikal Kniights’ Best batter (Parimatch)

Aqib Jawad was Karaikal Kniights’ highest run-scorer last season, having scored 210 runs at an average of 35.00 and a strike rate of 141.89. He was extremely consistent and almost in all games, he was the side’s best performer. With such a good credential and a proven record to back his form, it makes sense that we bet big on Aqib Jawad.

Ajay Rohera to be Mahe Megalo Strikers’ best batter (Parimatch)

Since moving to Pondicherry from Madhya Pradesh, Ajay Rohera is on a roll. In the previous season of the Pondicherry Premier League, he scored 435 runs at an average of 48.33 and a strike rate of 172.61. He scored two centuries and one half-century along the way - establishing himself firmly as a solid professional. Just back him to do well in the upcoming match.

Karaikal Kniights vs Mahe Megalo Strikers Best Bowlers

S Santhosh Kumaran to be Karaikal Kniights’ best bowler (Parimatch)

S Santhosh Kumaran picked up seven wickets at an average of 20.71 in the Pondicherry Premier League 2024 for Karaikal Kniights and was one of best bowler by some distance. Apart from Kumaran and to an extent, Ankit Sharma, others failed to turn up big-time, resulting in a failed environment overall. So trust Kumaran to deliver for Karaikal Kniights.

Fabid Ahmed to be Mahe Megalo Strikers’ best bowler (Parimatch)

Mahe Megalo Strikers were the best bowling side in the 2024 PPL, with three bowlers picking 14 wickets each. Best of them was Fabid Ahmed, who picked up 14 wickets at an average of 13.85 at an incredible economy rate of 5.70. He was a notch above everyone else along the way and creates a brilliant milestone for himself. So back him to do well.
