Team Preview
Alleppey Ripples:
Alleppey Ripples struggled badly in the previous edition, finishing at the bottom of the table. Despite individual brilliance from Mohammad Azharuddeen (410 runs) and Fazil Fanoos (12 wickets), the lack of consistency hurt them. However, with the likes of Akshay Chandran and Vignesh Puthur this year, Ripples look much more balanced. Chandran’s ability to score freely at the top and Puthur’s clever spin bowling will be crucial to turning their fortunes around. Jalaj Saxena’s experience also adds depth to the side. This season, they aim to erase last year’s disappointments and push for a playoff spot.
Thrissur Titans:
The Titans were far more successful last season, reaching the semi-finals before falling short against Kollam Sailors. Vishnu Vinod was their star with 438 runs, while Mohammed Ishaaq led the bowling attack with 11 wickets. Titans are built on stability and firepower – Anand Krishnan offers reliability at the top, while Ishaaq remains their strike bowler. With an improved all-round unit including Sijomon Joseph and Varun Nayanar, the Titans are strong contenders this season. Their balance across departments makes them one of the favorites to go deep into the tournament again.

Favourite Team in Today’s Match
Thrissur Titans hold the edge in this contest. Their squad is stronger on paper, with reliable performers in both batting and bowling. Vishnu Vinod’s form as a run-machine and Mohammed Ishaaq’s wicket-taking abilities make them a balanced side. The Titans also have the advantage of consistency from last season, where they reached the semi-finals. Alleppey Ripples, although improved, remain dependent on a few key players like Azharuddeen and Chandran. Unless those two fire together, Ripples may struggle against the depth of the Titans. Hence, Titans are favorites due to their solid core and proven track record.
