Team Previews
Aries Kollam Sailors Preview
The Aries Kollam Sailors are under immense pressure after losing back-to-back matches, including a heartbreaking 4-wicket defeat against Kochi Blue Tigers despite posting 236 runs. Captain Sachin Baby has a lot to worry about, especially with his bowlers who failed miserably in the previous outing. The batting, however, looks solid with Vishnu Vinod leading from the front with a fine performance in the last match. He, alongside Abhishek Nair, can give the team a good platform at the top. In the middle order, Baby will depend on himself, Rahul Sharma, and M Sajeevan Akhil to anchor the innings, while Sharafuddeen and Amal AG bring explosive power in the later overs.
The main area of concern lies in bowling. Pavan Raj and Eden Apple Tom need to deliver early breakthroughs to ease the pressure on their struggling middle overs. Sharafuddeen and Biju Narayanan must control the flow of runs, while Akhil and Ajayaghosh N S will play vital roles in containing Titans’ power-hitters. Unless their bowlers step up, Sailors will find it tough to challenge the in-form Titans.
Predicted Playing XI (Sailors):
Sachin Baby (c), Vishnu Vinod (wk), Abhishek Nair, M Sajeevan Akhil, Sharafuddeen, Ashik Muhammed, Rahul Sharma, Amal AG, Eden Apple Tom, Biju Narayanan, Pavan Raj, Vijay Vishwanath (Impact Player)
Thrissur Titans Preview
The Thrissur Titans have been the most consistent side so far, winning both games, including a hard-fought 9-run win over Calicut Globstars. Skipper Sijomon Joseph will be delighted with the way his batting unit has stepped up. The star of the last game, Ahamed Imran, scored a superb century, and along with Anand Krishnan, forms a formidable opening pair. The middle order is equally dependable, with Shoun Roger, Akshay Manohar, and Arjun AK capable of playing both anchor and aggressive roles.
Lower down the order, Vinod Kumar CV and Sibin Gireesh offer stability and finishing power, making Titans’ batting look complete. However, bowling remains a slight concern. While Anand Joseph and MD Nidheesh can pick wickets upfront, consistency from Kumar and Gireesh in the middle overs is vital. Skipper Joseph, Roger, and Mohammed Ishaque will look to provide breakthroughs in crunch moments. Overall, the Titans appear to have a balanced squad with momentum on their side.
Predicted Playing XI (Titans):
Sijomon Joseph (c), Anand Krishnan, Ahammed Imran, Shoun Roger, Akshay Manohar, Vishnu Menon, Arjun AK (wk), Vinod Kumar CV, Sibin Gireesh, MD Nidheesh, Anand Joseph, Mohammed Ishaque (Impact Player)

Favorite Team for Today’s Match
The Thrissur Titans enter as favorites for this clash. They have momentum on their side, having won both games in style. Their batting unit is in tremendous form with Ahammed Imran’s match-winning ton and strong contributions from Krishnan and Roger. The bowling, though inconsistent, has done just enough to support the batters. In contrast, the Aries Kollam Sailors are struggling with poor bowling form and low confidence after two consecutive defeats. Unless Sailors’ bowlers find discipline, it will be tough to stop Titans’ in-form batting. With balance, depth, and confidence, the Thrissur Titans look the stronger side today.
