Kochi Blue Tigers Preview
Kochi Blue Tigers are in red-hot form, having chased down 170+ scores in back-to-back games. Sanju Samson’s blistering 83 off 41 balls and Vinoop Manoharan’s fluent opening fifty show their top order is firing at the right time. The middle order, led by skipper Sally Samson and supported by youngsters like Jobin Joby and Jerin PS, has provided finishing depth. Nikhil Thottath’s consistency as a stabilizer at No. 4 makes him a key batter.
Bowling remains Kochi’s area of concern, with KM Asif and Jerin PS carrying much of the burden. Afrad Nazar has struggled with both economy and wickets, which could cost them against Calicut’s powerful hitters. Yet, their chasing ability and batting depth make them strong contenders.
Predicted XI:
V Manoharan, Saly Samson (c), Sanju Samson, Jobin Joby, Ajeesh K, Alfi Francis John, N Thottath (wk), Afrad Nazar, KM Asif, Jerin PS, Sreehari Nair, M Shanu
Calicut Globstars Preview
Calicut Globstars will bank on their earlier victory against Kochi where they posted 249. Their top order, though inconsistent lately, is led by skipper Rohan Kunnummal, a proven match-winner. Maruthungal Ajinas has been in excellent touch in the middle order with scores of 51, 27, and 49 in three matches. Salman Nizar’s power-hitting in the lower order is a game-changer, as his 86* off 26 balls proved.
With the ball, Harikrishnan MU’s breakthroughs have been decisive. Alongside him, Akhil Scaria’s all-round contributions and Ibmul Aftnaf’s pace give Calicut a strong bowling attack. Their challenge will be sustaining pressure if Kochi gets off to a flier.
Predicted XI:
S Sachin (wk), R Kunnummal (c), M Ajinas, A Scaria, P Pawan, S Nizar, P Anfal, H MU, S Midhun, A Dev, M Krishnan

Favourite Team Today
Kochi Blue Tigers enter this clash as clear favorites. Their ability to chase under pressure and their batting depth from top to lower middle order make them very dangerous. Sanju Samson’s leadership and form with the bat, combined with Vinoop Manoharan’s solidity and Jerin PS’s all-round contributions, make them a well-balanced unit. Unlike Calicut, Kochi doesn’t depend on one or two players to rescue games; instead, they have several match-winners across departments. Their recent unbeaten streak has boosted morale, and they look better placed to exact revenge for their earlier defeat.
