Jabalpur Royal Lions (JRL) take on Bhopal Leopards (BL) in match No. 29 of the Madhya Pradesh T20 League at the Holkar Stadium in Indore on Monday, June 15.
Rahul Batham-led Jabalpur Royal Lions have had a fantastic start to their campaign, winning three matches in a row. They are currently placed at No. 3 on the points table. The Royal Lions are heading into this encounter, having won the previous game against the Malwa Stallions by 54 runs.
Meanwhile, Aniket Verma’s Bhopal Leopards find themselves at No. 7. They have won two and lost four games so far. The defending champions have clearly not been at their best and would hope to end their three-match losing streak on Monday.

JRL vs BL: Probable Best Performers of the Match
Probable Best Batter: Ajay Rohera
Jabalpur’s wicketkeeper-batter Ajay Rohera would be high on confidence, having amassed an unbeaten 130 off 65 balls in the last game against Malwa Stallions, belting nine fours and as many sixes. He will look to make the most of the field restrictions inside the power play overs.
Probable Best Bowler: Puneet Datey
The 31-year-old Puneet Datey has played just three games but picked up seven wickets. His economy rate is a remarkable 5.83. The right-arm seamer would look to swing the new balls and make early inroads on Monday.
