Team Preview
Calicut Globstars
Calicut Globstars are currently 5th on the table with one defeat. Their batting strength revolves around Salman Nizar, who has been outstanding with 98 runs already in the tournament. His knock of 77 in the previous game nearly pulled off a big chase. Alongside him, Ajnas M has shown consistency in the middle order. However, the top order has struggled, and early wickets have hurt them badly. Their bowling, led by Akhil Scaria (6 wickets), has been impressive in patches, but they must tighten their economy rates during the powerplay. The Globstars’ biggest challenge is converting individual brilliance into a collective match-winning performance. If their batting clicks early, they can outscore the Royals.
Adani Trivandrum Royals
The Royals stand 4th on the points table with one win and one loss. Their batting has been spearheaded by Riya Basheer, who played a match-defining 62 in their last outing. Krishna Prasad has also chipped in with crucial runs. Their lower-middle order, with players like Abdul Basith and Nikhil M, adds balance to their chase strategy. On the bowling front, Abijith Praveen has been the most effective, but support from experienced names like Basil Thampi will be vital. The Royals have shown resilience in chases, but their top-order fragility could be a concern against a quality attack like Calicut’s. If their batters step up early, they can cause a major upset.

Fantasy Team XI
| Role | Player |
|---|---|
| WK | Sachin Suresh |
| Batters | Salman Nizar, Krishna Prasad, Rohan Kunnummal, Riya Basheer |
| All-rounders | M Ajnas, Abdul Basith |
| Bowlers | Akhil Scaria, Sudhesan Midhun, Basil Thampi, Abijith Praveen |
Captain Options: Salman Nizar, Riya Basheer
Vice-Captain Options: M Ajnas, Akhil Scaria
Players to Avoid: Subin S (poor form), Govind Pai (struggling starts)
Fantasy Analysis: Salman Nizar’s consistent run-scoring makes him a must-have captain pick, while Riya Basheer’s ability to anchor innings is crucial. Akhil Scaria is a strike bowler to watch, and M Ajnas’ all-round value strengthens fantasy returns. Avoid out-of-form openers who haven’t contributed effectively.
Favourite Team in Today’s Match
Calicut Globstars enter this contest as favourites due to their stronger batting depth and presence of match-winners in both departments. Despite losing narrowly in their last game, they showed tremendous character chasing 200+. Their middle-order looks settled with Nizar and Ajnas in good touch, while Akhil Scaria gives them an edge in bowling. On the other hand, the Royals rely heavily on Riya Basheer, and over-dependence could hurt them. If Globstars’ top-order avoids collapses, they are likely to dominate.
