Aries Kollam Sailors are 2nd on the points table and come into this game after a close win over Kochi Blue Tigers. They have produced some good performances this season, although their batting has not been as consistent as they would have wanted. They will need another complete performance if they are to beat an Alleppey Ripples side coming off a big batting performance.
Aries Kollam Sailors' batting was a little disappointing in their previous game despite the team getting over the line. Vathsal Govind was the standout batter with 77 runs from 46 balls, while Abhishek J Nair contributed 46 from 31 balls.
However, the rest of the batting group struggled to make a significant contribution, with only two other batters reaching double figures. The team will want more support for Govind and Abhishek J Nair in this game. Their top order has shown that it can score quickly, but the middle and lower order will need to contribute more consistently.
The bowling unit has been one of the more dependable parts of the Aries Kollam Sailors side. Pavan Raj picked up 3 wickets in the previous game, while AG Amal took 2 wickets. Vijay S Viswanath also picked up a wicket and bowled a tight spell, while Mohammed Ishaque-P gave away only 16 runs from his four overs. With plenty of bowling options available, Aries Kollam Sailors will once again be looking towards their bowlers to put pressure on the Alleppey Ripples batting line-up.
Key Players: Vathsal Govind, Pavan Raj, Abhishek J Nair

Alleppey Ripples are also having a good campaign and will come into this game with plenty of confidence after beating Calicut Globstars by six wickets. Their batting was the main reason for that victory, and they will be hoping to produce another good performance against Aries Kollam Sailors.
Alleppey Ripples' batting was excellent in their previous game as they successfully chased down a huge target of 213 runs. Mohammed Azharuddeen was the star of the show, scoring an unbeaten 112 runs from just 60 balls, including 10 sixes.
Akshay TK also made an important contribution with 43 runs from 30 balls, while Arun KA scored a quick 31 from only 14 balls. Sachin Baby added 19 runs from 11 balls, giving the side useful support. After such a strong chase, Alleppey Ripples will be high on confidence, although they will know that repeating that level of batting against this Aries bowling attack will not be easy.
The bowling unit will need some improvement, especially during the middle overs. Mannembeth Sreeroop was the pick of the attack in the previous game, taking 2 wickets while conceding only 21 runs from four overs.
Akhil Dev V, Abijith Praveen and Ajith Raj also picked up one wicket each. However, some of the other bowlers were expensive, and Alleppey Ripples will need better control if they are to restrict an Aries batting line-up that has plenty of attacking options.
Key Players: Mohammed Azharuddeen, Akshay TK, Mannembeth Sreeroop

The weather in Thiruvananthapuram on 29th August is expected to remain warm and humid, with the temperature around 27°C. Humidity is likely to be around 82% in the evening, with winds around 17-18 km/h, mainly from the west-northwest. The sky should be partly cloudy, with a chance of scattered showers during the day and a lower chance of rain around the evening.
The Greenfield International Stadium has generally offered good conditions for batting. The recent matches at the venue have produced high-scoring games, with the average first-innings score over the last four matches around 183 runs. 3 of those 4 matches were won by the team batting first. The venue has also seen plenty of runs under the lights, making the toss an important factor.
Score Prediction:
If Aries Kollam Sailors bat first: 180-200 runs
If Alleppey Ripples bat first: 190-200 runs
The captain winning the toss may prefer to bowl first. This is a late evening game, and the high humidity could bring some dew into play later in the evening. That could make the ball come onto the bat more easily during the chase.
Toss Prediction: Aries Kollam Sailors to win the coin toss
This could be a close game between two sides that are having similar campaigns, but Aries Kollam Sailors will start as the slight favourites because of their much better head-to-head record. They have won 4 of the 5 previous meetings between the teams and are also currently sitting second on the points table.
Alleppey Ripples, however, will not make it easy. Their batting is coming off an excellent performance. If their bowlers can improve their control in the middle overs, they have enough quality to challenge Aries.
The head-to-head advantage gives Aries Kollam Sailors the edge, but Alleppey Ripples recent batting form makes this a potentially close match
