Team Previews
Adani Trivandrum Royals Preview
Adani Trivandrum Royals enter this contest after yet another tough defeat, making their campaign rather shaky. With only one victory in four matches, consistency has been their biggest challenge. Their batting unit revolves heavily around skipper Krishna Prasad, who has been the lone warrior with 180 runs in four innings. Alongside him, Nikhil M has shown glimpses of promise with his aggressive stroke play, but the rest of the lineup hasn’t delivered consistently.
In their last match against Alleppey Ripples, the Royals lost early wickets but a fine partnership between Krishna Prasad (67*) and Nikhil M (43) resurrected the innings. Despite putting up 178, their bowlers failed to defend the target. Basil Thampi picked two crucial wickets but lacked support from the other end. With Fazil Fanoos and Vinil TS yet to make an impact, the Royals desperately need a combined effort to challenge the high-flying Titans. Their head-to-head record favors them (2-1), but current form paints a different picture.
Predicted XI (Royals): Krishna Prasad (c), Subin S (wk), Govind Dev Pai, Riya Basheer, Abdul Basith, Nikhil M, Ajith V, Abhijith Praveen V, Basil Thampi, Vinil TS, Fazil Fanoos
Thrissur Titans Preview
Thrissur Titans are enjoying a fantastic run this season with three victories in four matches, sitting firmly at second on the table. Their last win against Kochi Blue Tigers showcased their resilience. Chasing 189, the Titans fought back from 117/5, thanks to a blistering stand between Sijomon Joseph (42 off 23) and Arjun AK (31 off 16).
Earlier, Ahammed Imran’s quickfire 72 gave them a head start, while bowler Ajinas K bagged 5/30 to restrict the opposition. With a balanced unit, the Titans have multiple match-winners in both departments. The bowling attack, spearheaded by Sibin Gireesh (8 wickets), adds the cutting edge, while their batting depth ensures they can chase or defend totals with ease.
Predicted XI (Titans): Sijomon Joseph (c), Arjun AK (wk), Anand Krishnan, Ahammed Imran, Shoun Roger, Akshay Manohar, Mohammed Ishaque, Ajinas K, Sibin Gireesh, MD Nidheesh, Anand Joseph, Vishnu Menon

Favourite Team in Today’s Match
Thrissur Titans stand as clear favorites going into this match. Their consistency across both batting and bowling units makes them a far superior outfit compared to the struggling Trivandrum Royals. While the Royals depend heavily on Krishna Prasad for runs, the Titans have a far more balanced approach with several in-form players. Ahammed Imran has been destructive with the bat, while Sijomon Joseph’s leadership and finishing ability strengthen the middle order.
Their bowling attack, led by Sibin Gireesh and Ajinas K, has been both penetrative and economical, regularly providing breakthroughs. The team’s ability to recover from difficult positions, as seen in their last win, shows their mental toughness. On the other hand, the Royals lack depth and consistency in both batting and bowling, relying on individual brilliance rather than team performance. For these reasons, Thrissur Titans are the stronger contenders to walk away with a victory.
