Aries Kollam Sailors vs Alleppey Ripples Prediction: Who Will Win 29th T20 KCL Match on 4th September 2025?
Aries Kollam Sailors vs Alleppey Ripples prediction for the 29th T20 of the Kerala Cricket League 2025 highlights a must-win clash for the Sailors as they eye a semifinal berth. The match will be played on Thursday, 4th September 2025, at Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram. Kollam Sailors have been in decent form, sitting fourth on the points table, but their last defeat to Kochi Blue Tigers exposed batting weaknesses. They must bounce back strongly in this game. On the other hand, Alleppey Ripples have endured a poor season, managing just three wins from nine matches and sitting at the bottom of the table. Their batting collapse in the last game, where they were bowled out for only 98 runs, has left them playing for pride in this contest.
With experienced batters like Abhishek Nair and Vishnu Vinod in their ranks, Aries Kollam Sailors have an edge over the struggling Ripples. However, Alleppey skipper Jalaj Saxena will want his team to finish the tournament on a high. The contest looks tilted in favor of the Sailors, but cricket often springs surprises.

Team Previews
Alleppey Ripples Preview
Alleppey Ripples have had a disappointing campaign. Their batting has failed repeatedly, with collapses costing them crucial matches. In their last outing, they folded for just 98 runs against Adani Trivandrum Royals, suffering a 110-run defeat. Captain Jalaj Saxena has been their lone consistent performer with both bat and ball. Akarsh AK must support him at the top, while Abhishek P Nair, Arun KA, and Akshay TK need to shoulder responsibility in the middle order.
Their bowling has shown sparks but lacks consistency. Rahul Chandran and Sreehari S Nair must strike early with the new ball, while Saxena and Mohammed Nazil need to deliver tighter spells in the middle overs. Sreeroop MP and Mohamed Enaan will play key supporting roles. This is their last chance to salvage pride and bow out with a strong performance.
Predicted Playing XI (Ripples):
Jalaj Saxena (c), Akarsh AK, Abhishek P Nair, Arun KA, Mohammed Kaif (wk), Akshay TK, Sreeroop MP, Mohamed Enaan, Sreehari S Nair, Mohammed Nazil, Rahul Chandran, Arjun Suresh Nambiar (Impact)
Aries Kollam Sailors Preview
Aries Kollam Sailors, led by Sachin Baby, face a do-or-die clash for a semifinal spot. They lost their last game to Kochi Blue Tigers by six wickets, mainly due to a batting failure. For this must-win contest, Abhishek Nair and Vishnu Vinod are the key players expected to give a strong start. Sachin Baby, Vathsal Govind, and M Sajeevan Akhil strengthen the middle order, while Sharafuddeen and Amal AG add power in the lower order.
Their bowling unit has been effective throughout the season. Vijay Vishwanath and Amal AG will take charge with the new ball, while Jose S Perayil and Sharafuddeen will be crucial in the middle overs. With good bowling depth and experienced batters, Kollam Sailors enter this game as favorites.
Predicted Playing XI (Sailors):
Sachin Baby (c), Vishnu Vinod (wk), Abhishek Nair, Vathsal Govind, M Sajeevan Akhil, Sharafuddeen, Rahul Sharma, Amal AG, Jose S Perayil, Vijay Vishwanath, Ajayaghosh N S, Eden Apple Tom (Impact)

Favourite Team in Today’s Match
Aries Kollam Sailors are favorites heading into this match. Their batting unit, led by Nair and Vinod, has far more stability compared to Ripples’ fragile lineup. Their bowling attack is also more balanced, with quality seamers and spinners capable of exploiting Greenfield conditions. In contrast, Alleppey have been inconsistent and over-dependent on Jalaj Saxena. Given Sailors’ motivation to qualify for the semis and their all-round depth, they are expected to dominate this contest.
