The UP T20 League 2025 has reached its grand finale, and fans are in for a blockbuster as Kashi Rudras take on Meerut Mavericks in what promises to be a thrilling title clash. Both teams have been the most consistent sides of the season, and after a roller-coaster journey, they will now battle it out for the coveted trophy.
The final will be played between Kashi Rudras, who sealed their place by edging past the Mavericks in Qualifier 1, and Meerut Mavericks, who came back strong to defeat Lucknow Falcons in Qualifier 2. This sets up an exciting rematch as both sides have beaten each other once this season, making the summit clash the ultimate decider.
One of the major talking points ahead of the match is the absence of Rinku Singh, the Mavericks’ star batter and captain, who is away on national duty for the Asia Cup 2025. His unavailability puts extra responsibility on the likes of Swastik Chikara, Rituraj Sharma, and Kartik Tyagi to deliver for the Mavericks.
