ALRS vs KBTS Match Prediction & Analysis
It seems like it's a different track used in recent matches that is curated to help batters as we’ve witnessed some improved performances. Alleppey’s skipper Mohammad Azharuddeen scored 90 off 53 balls batting first in their last match.
It was overshadowed by Vishnu Vinod’s 135-run knock that came off just 45 balls while chasing an 182-run target. Kochi Blue Tigers in their last outing posted a 169-run total and failed to defend it.
These are signs of improved batting conditions at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram. We expect there to be a more even contest between bat and ball compared to the previous games that were dominated by the bowlers.
Even with improved batting conditions, Alleppey Ripples are still dependent on the top-order batters. Skipper Mohammad Azharuddeen is the key batter with most of the run-scoring responsibility.
Kochi Blue Tigers improved their batting returns in 3 consecutive outings but only lost on every occasion. Eventually, they lost their batting form too, and were bowled out for 84 runs in the last outing. They will hope for a comeback from their bowlers in this match.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Alleppey Ripples Preview
Alleppey Ripples are second last in the points table, just one position above Kochi Blue Tigers. They’ve only won 1 of their last 3 matches and that win came while defending a 125-run total.
Mohammad Azharuddeen will not be happy with his bowlers going for runs in the last match. 181 runs in the 1st innings is a match-winning total but all his bowlers could deliver were two wickets.
This was right after the game where they successfully defended 125 runs. The bowling has been very inconsistent. Though Anand Joseph was back in the side, he just bowled an over and conceded 15 runs in the last outing.
Afrad Reshab, Akshay Chandran, and Alfi Francis, the key bowlers who were successful in previous outings, were also expensive against the Thrissur Titans in the last match.
This inconsistency makes it tricky to predict what they will deliver next. But with the bat, it seems that there are only a few players who can deliver. While the middle order has failed to deliver consistently, the likes of Krishna Prasad, Alfi Francis, and Akshay TK are the ones to watch out for.
They can deliver impactful knocks and in the last game, Atul Diamond showcased his big-hitting abilities.
Alleppey Ripples Predicted Playing XI:
Krishna Prasad, Mohammed Azharuddeen (c), Vinoop Manoharan, Rohan Nair, Akshay Chandran, Neel Sunny, Akshay T K, Alfi Francis, Afrab Reshab, Fazil Fanoos, Kiran Sagar

Kochi Blue Tigers Preview
Kochi Blue Tigers are at the bottom of the points table with just 2 wins from 9 matches. Their batting performances improved with every single game recently before taking a huge plunge in the last match.
After losing by 5 wickets while defending 131 runs, the Tigers went on to score 158 and 169 in their next two matches while batting first. And after losing on all these 3 occasions, the Tigers were bowled out for 84 in the last game and lost by 4 wickets.
Even though the top 3 batters played some very poor knocks, Kochi reached 169 runs on the back of a brilliant performance from Shoun Roger at number 4.
Roger was unbeaten on 73 off 38 and was ed by Nikhil Thottath at number 6 who added 30 off 12 balls.
The top order has consistently disappointed and in the previous match, it was Sijomon Joseph whose fifty led the Tigers to 158 while batting first.
Roger, Joseph, and wicket-keeper bat Nikhil Thottath are the key middle-order batters who can help the Tigers finish with a decent score. However, the real issue here is the lack of wicket-takers in the bowling attack.
Skipper Basil Thampi is a key wicket-taker but he’s not able to create a big impact. There are no match-winners in the bowling department. Shine John Jacob looked promising in the last game and will be one to watch out for.
Kochi Blue Tigers Predicted Playing XI:
Anand Krishnan, Jobin Joby, Vipul Shakti, Shoun Roger, Unnikrishnan Manukrishnan, Nikhil Thottath (wk), Sijomon Joseph, Saly Samson, Basil Thampi ( c ), Shine John Jacob, Jerin PS

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
There will be cloudy skies in Trivandrum with a high of 30 degrees Celsius on the match day. There are no predictions for rain around the match time and we should have a complete 20-over-a-side game.
ALRS vs KBTS Pitch Report
It has been a pretty inconsistent surface lately with three consecutive matches seeing plenty of good batting performances followed by bowlers dominating the next two games. The average 1st innings score in the last 5 matches at the Greenfield International Stadium is 147 runs. Anything around this 160 should be a competitive total in this game.
Toss: To Bowl
Only 1 of the last 7 matches went in favor of the team batting first. Considering the current form of both teams, bowling first seems the ideal choice. Tigers are not able to defend any totals and now even their batting is in trouble. Ripples have a decent bowling attack and should back themselves to bowl first and gain the upper hand in the contest.
ALRS vs KBTS
Winning Prediction
It is tricky to pick a winner between these two sides. Both of them have been inconsistent and haven’t got any reliable players. However, considering Kochi’s lack of bowling form along with their dipping batting graph, we reckon Alleppey Ripples will have an edge going into this match and will start as favorites in our match prediction.
