Calicut Globstars have been one of the better-performing sides in the tournament so far, winning 3 of their 4 games. They will be looking to continue their good run after another comfortable win in their previous match.
Calicut Globstars have been getting good contributions from their batting group, particularly at the top. Rohan Kunnummal was the standout performer in their previous game, scoring 94 runs from 47 balls with 6 fours and 8 sixes.
Akhil Scaria also remained unbeaten on 31 from 30 balls. Kunnummal's form has been an important part of their campaign so far, and the side will once again be looking towards their top order to provide a good start. With players like Varun Nayanar and Abdul Basith also in the team, Calicut will be hoping for another good batting display.
The bowling unit has also been doing its part throughout the tournament. Harikrishnan MU was the pick of the attack in the previous game, taking 3 wickets while conceding only 12 runs from his 4 overs. Akhil Scaria picked up 2 wickets, while Vignesh Puthur also took 2 wickets. Vignesh has been particularly useful through the middle overs, while Akhil has been contributing with the new ball. Calicut will be looking for another disciplined performance from the bowling group.
Key Players: Rohan Kunnummal, Harikrishnan MU, Akhil Scaria

Trivandrum Royals have managed only 1 win from their 4 matches and will need to improve their consistency if they are to challenge Calicut Globstars. Their previous game was a close one, but they eventually lost to Thrissur Titans by 1 wicket.
There were plenty of positives from the batting group despite the defeat. Govind Dev Pai led the way with an unbeaten 76 from just 35 balls. Abhishek P Nair also scored 40 from 28 balls, while Krishna Prasad contributed 30.
Trivandrum Royals finished with 181 runs in the previous game, so the batting unit has shown that it can put up a good total. However, they will need another good performance against a Calicut bowling attack that has been taking wickets regularly.
The bowling unit has been one area of concern for Trivandrum Royals this season. They used 7 bowling options in their previous game, but most of them struggled to keep the scoring under control. Sijomon Joseph was the standout performer with 3 wickets, while Rahul Chandran, Sreehari Nair, Vinod Kumar, Nikhil Malik, Ajith Vasudevan and Ajeesh K also picked up 1 wicket each. The Royals will need better support from the bowling group if they are to stop Calicut's in-form batting lineup.
Key Players: Govind Dev Pai, Abhishek P Nair, Sijomon Joseph

The weather in Thiruvananthapuram on 27th August is expected to be cloudy during the evening, with temperatures around 27°C around the start of the match. Humidity is expected to remain high, around 85-90%, with winds from the northwest at roughly 15-25 km/h. There is a chance of showers during the day, although the evening forecast is generally cloudy.
The average first-innings score across the last 12 matches at this venue is around 171 runs, with teams batting first and chasing winning 6 games each. The venue has also produced some good totals in the last few matches, so batters are likely to get good rewards from the surface. However, bowlers can also have their say if they consistently hit the right line and length.
Score Prediction:
If Calicut Globstars bat first: 175-190 runs
If Trivandrum Royals bat first: 165-175 runs
The captain winning the toss may prefer to bowl first. This is a night game, and with humidity expected to be high, dew could become a factor later in the evening. Chasing under the lights could therefore be a little easier.
Toss Prediction: Calicut Globstars to win the coin toss
Calicut Globstars will be the favourites going into this match. They have won 3 of their 4 games so far and are coming off a comfortable 6-wicket win over Alleppey Ripples. Their batting has been led by Rohan Kunnummal, while the bowling group has also been producing regular wickets.
Trivandrum Royals have shown that they can score runs, with Govind Dev Pai making 76 in their previous game, but their bowling has been less consistent. They also have a difficult head-to-head record against Calicut, having lost all 4 previous meetings between the teams.
With better form, a more consistent bowling attack and a clear advantage in the head-to-head record, Calicut Globstars look better placed to come out on top.
