Aries Kollam Sailors got off to an exciting start in the Kerala Cricket League 2025. Playing on a tricky surface at Thiruvananthapuram, they dismissed Calicut Globstars for only 138, but found themselves in trouble at 68-6 while chasing. Vathsal Govind's knock of 41 from 31 balls got them back in the game. Eventually, Biju Narayanan smashed two sixes in the last over to get Kollam across the line by just one wicket.
The batsmen had a tough time in that opening game, but the lineup has enough quality and should handle these surfaces well. Sachin Baby will anchor their batting order. He topped the scoring charts in the last tournament, making 423 runs across 11 games while striking at 154. Expect another big season from him.
Abhishek Nair made his mark at the top last year, putting together 303 runs in nine games at a 125.7 strike rate. He'll be one to watch again this year.
Plus, there's Govind and Sharafuddeen adding strength lower down the order.
With the bowlers, Sharafuddeen turned the first match around with figures of 4 for 16 in his three overs. Amal AG grabbed three scalps while M Sajeevan Akhil and Biju Narayanan chipped in with one each. The mix of options in this bowling group makes them dangerous for any side in this tournament.

Adani Trivandrum Royals began their campaign on a disastrous note, getting shot out for just 97 against Kochi Blue Tigers. That target was never going to be enough, and Kochi polished it off in 11.5 overs with eight wickets in hand.
This batting lineup failed miserably in the first game, but it has the firepower to post big scores in the coming games. Govind Dev Pai is their main star batter, who had a successful run last season, with 300 runs in 11 matches.
Skipper Krishna Prasad, too, is a strong asset and collected 192 runs in 10 matches last season.
If the top order has a quiet day, they have Riya Basheer and Abdul Basith, both of whom amassed over 200 runs last season, to step up in the middle order.
In the first match, most of the bowlers had a tough time, given the low score they had to defend. But as a whole, this is a capable bowling unit, with genuine wicket-takers like Fazil Fanoos, who topped their bowling charts last season with 12 wickets in nine games. The presence of Basil Thampi, who has years of IPL experience, will also be helpful to the side.
Then there are Abhijith Praveen and Vinil TS, who can provide useful spells every game.

The Greenfield International Stadium tends to suit batsmen well, with minimal swing through the air and the ball traveling nicely off the blade. The quick outfield helps with boundary scoring. Slow bowlers can extract some turn as the wicket deteriorates, but they need to be patient for wickets. Sides batting second might want an early look at what they're chasing, although the surface generally stays reliable from start to finish.
The weather in Thiruvananthapuram looks overcast with some wind, but we expect a complete match without any rain delays.
The average score batting first at the Greenfield International Stadium is just 127, as it usually doesn’t produce huge scores. The highest total posted here in the Kerala Cricket League is Kochi Blue Tigers’ 218-2 versus Alleppey Ripples last season. The opening two fixtures of this season saw two low-scoring games. For this match, the team batting first will eye a total of around 170 to feel confident about their chances.
Teams batting second tend to do better at the Greenfield International Stadium. During last year's Kerala Cricket League, chasing sides grabbed 21 victories while teams batting first managed only 12 wins. This season's opening two matches also went to the team chasing. So the toss winner will certainly choose to field first at this ground.
The clash between Aries Kollam Sailors and Adani Trivandrum Royals promises to be a cracker. Last season, the two sides met twice, and both won one match each. Kollam look more well-organized with better depth, but Trivandrum, despite their horrible start to the season, can’t be counted out as well. Based on squad strength, we give Kollam a 55-45 edge in this contest.
Aries Kollam Sailors are better placed to emerge victorious in this clash.
