HEAD TO HEAD

TEAMS PREVIEW

Kochi Blue Tigers Preview

Saly Samson and his team are in sublime form. They defeated the Adani Trivandrum Royals in the last game by 9 runs and sit comfortably at the top of the points table. The batting lineup has done well, and the team will look to build on its strengths. They had lost the earlier game against the Thrissur Titans and shall look to avenge that loss with a good performance. 

Sanju Samson has made 285 runs this season. As the key batter in the team, he will look to deliver a strong start with Vinoop Manoharan. Saly Samson, Nikhil Thottath, and Alfi Francis John must do well in the middle order as the Titans' bowlers will test them. The team expects quick runs from Muhammad Ashik and Jobin Joby in the lower middle order. 

The bowling attack has struggled with consistency. Saly Samson will look to lead from the front with the ball and make early inroads alongside Jobin Joby. Jerin PS and Rakesh KJ must bowl tight lines in the middle overs, as they have struggled with their form. Afrad Nazar and Muhammad Ashik will look to do well in the supporting role.

Saly Samson (c), Vinoop Manoharan, Muhammed Shanu, Sanju Samson, Nikhil Thottath (wk), Alfi Francis John, Jobin Joby, Jerin PS, Muhammad Ashik, Rakesh KJ, Ajeesh K, Afrad Nazar (Impact Player)

Thrissur Titans Preview

Sijomon Joseph's team lost to the Aries Kollam Sailors in the last game by 3 wickets. It was a poor show with the ball that cost them the game. They will face a tough challenge, given the kind of form the Kochi Blue Tigers' batters are in. Joseph would like his players to draw inspiration from their earlier win against the Tigers and move to the top of the points table with a win. 

Ahamed Imran is the leading run scorer this season, and he will look to deliver an electrifying start with Anand Krishnan. The middle did well in the last game, and they need partnerships between Varun Nayanar, Shoun Roger, and Arjun AK. Akshay Manohar and Sijomon Joseph will look to deliver a strong show in the lower middle order for the team to win. 

Ajinas K and MD Nidheesh must make early inroads into the Tigers' batting lineup to put them under pressure. Adithya Vinod bowled well in the last game, and he will look to trouble the batters in the middle overs with Adithya Vinod and Mohammed Ishaque. Sijomon Joseph and Sibin Gireesh add variety to this attack.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

There are predictions for overcast skies in Thiruvananthapuram, and we may have rain interruptions. The wicket has troubled batsmen as we have seen them struggle to time the ball. The average first innings score is 162 runs. The team batting first should aim to score 180 runs to feel confident.

KBTS vs TTS Pitch Report

Greenfield International Stadium is known for its assistance to bowlers. There is movement for the fast bowlers early in the day. Batsmen, who build their innings, have done well on this surface. Spinners have earned rewards from the track as the ball turns sharply.

Toss: To Bowl

In the first 18 games, the team chasing the score has won seven times. Early overs will be challenging for the batsmen, but the conditions improve in the second half, making run chases easier. The side winning the toss would look like bowling first.
