CAGS vs TRS Match Prediction & Analysis
On a pitch that has been quite inconsistent leading to unpredictable performances in the last week in Kerala Cricket League, Trivandrum Royals and Calicut Globstars will lock horns in the semi-final.
The two teams met twice this season and have won a game each. While Trivandrum Royals’ batting performances have been on an upward graph in the last 3 matches, there is no certainty as to whether they will cross the 165-run mark again.
The pitch hasn’t behaved the same. After some high-scoring games where teams batting second chased down competitive totals, things took a turn and we again saw below-par totals in the first innings followed by a tough chase.
Calicut Globstars, however, look in fine touch with the bat as they’ve successfully chased down a target in their last two outings. Royals’ opener Riya Basheer and number 3 Govind Pai scored a fifty in their last match against Calicut.
It promises to be a close contest between two quality batting lineups. There are wicket-taking bowlers in both squads but it will be up to the batters to lead the team into the Final.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Calicut Globstars Preview
Sanjay Raj came into this side in the last match and delivered a match-winning knock of unbeaten 75 runs at number 3 as Calicut Globstars chased down 148 runs within 16 Overs.
Liston Augustine was the second highest scorer for Calicut with 38 off 21 balls at number 5. Skipper Rohan Kunnummal who scored a hundred in the previous match against Trivandrum Royals will be happy to have found new match-winners ahead of the semi-finals.
The trio of M Ajinas, Salman Nizar, and Pallam Anfal plays a key role in the middle order. To have other batters also rise to the occasion is great news going into the knockouts.
While Salman Nizar also looks in fine touch in the lower order and can deliver some quick runs at the death, M Ajinas will be expected to bounce back and find his rhythm in this all-important game.
The bowlers were brilliant in the last game after they failed to contain runs and pick up wickets against the Royals previously. They restricted the Alleppey Ripples to 144 while bowling first. Akhil Scaria, who was the skipper in the last match shined with the ball. Ajinas K and Pallam Anfal are other key bowlers to watch out for.
Calicut Globstars Predicted Playing XI:
Rohan Kunnummal (c), Sanjay Raj, Arun KA, M Ajinas (wk), Salman Nizar, Pallam Anfal, Akhil Scaria, Abhijit Praveen, Nikhil M, Ajith Vasudevan, Sivaraj S

Trivandrum Royals Preview
Trivandrum Royals played their last match against Calicut Globstars and lost by 4 wickets while defending 170-run total which is a pretty competitive score. While batting may have improved leaps and bounds from their previous performances, this loss points to a different concern.
In their previous outings, the Royals had bowled first and restricted the opposition to 131 and 125. Even after such bowling performances, the Royals ended up losing those games as they failed to chase. And when the batting finally improved and they posted a 170-run total batting first led by the performances of Riya Basheer and Govind Pai, Trivandrum Royals were let down by the bowlers.
It was the complete opposite of what the bowlers had done in the previous outings. Sreehari S Nair, Akhil MS, and skipper Abdul Basith were among the consistent wicket-takers for Trivandrum.
Vinod Kumar had also ed the party with 4 for 24 against AKS, the table-toppers. While he continued his form with another 4-for in the next match while defending 170 against Calicut, the rest of the bowling attack failed to deliver.
The Royals will need a much stronger team effort to beat Calicut in this match. Akhil MS and Abdul Basith will also be crucial with the bat in the middle order along with Basheer and Pai.
There is great variety in the bowling attack and the skipper should back his bowlers to put the Royals on the top of the game. Royals will give a tough fight and we expect a close encounter between the two teams.
Trivandrum Royals Predicted Playing XI:
Riya Basheer, Vishnu Raj (wk), Rohan Prem, Joffin Jose, Govind Pai, Abdul Basith (c), Akhil MS, Sharon S S, Vinod Kumar, Sreehari S Nair, Akhin Sathar

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
It will be mostly cloudy in Thiruvananthapuram with a high of 31 degrees Celsius on the match day. There are no predictions for rain and we should have a great thriller of a semi-final without losing any overs to rain.
CAGS vs TRS Pitch Report
It looks like a balanced wicket that has something or everyone. And though there may be some challenges to batting in the 1st innings, it gets better in the second half of the match. The average 1st innings score in the last 6 matches is 150 runs. That won’t be enough to defend considering the results of recent games on this pitch. We reckon the team batting first should be aiming for 170+ to be in a strong position in this match.
Toss: To Bowl
Globstars have won back-to-back matches while chasing a total. The Royals’ only win in the last 3 matches came while chasing. Moreover, teams bowling first have won 8 of the last 10 matches at this venue in the Kerala Cricket League. It is a clear choice to bowl first on winning the toss.
CAGS vs TRS
Winning Prediction
The only team that can beat Calicut Globstars at the moment is Trivandrum Royals. The Globstars have been in great touch with the bat having chased down some very competitive totals in their recent outings. Royals have a strong bowling attack capable of putting Calicut on the back foot. It should be a close contest between two quality teams with Calicut Globstars going into this match with a sight edge.
