RJ vs KT Today Match Prediction, Maharashtra Premier League 2023, Who Will Win the Match?
Ratnagiri Jets
After winning the Qualifier 1, Ratnagiri Jets got a few days off before they could come out all guns blazing. Interestingly, they had beat Kolhapur Tuskers in Qualifier 1 and would be brimming with confidence.
However, Kolhapur too could fancy their chances as they had beaten the mighty Jets in Match 4 of MPL 2023.
But, we would be placing our bets on Ratnagiri Jets to win the inaugural edition of the Maharashtra Premier League.
