Thrissur Titans lost to Alleppey Ripples in their opening game of the season. They have been out of form lately with their batters struggling to score runs. Their recent losses have raised concerns over their ability to pick up wickets too.
Alleppey Ripples are coming here on the back of a win. However, it was purely due to a brilliant bowling spell from Akshay Chandran. Ripples bowled out the Royals for 73 runs while defending 125.
Titans’ middle-order batters are key to a good total. And it was because of them that Thrisur Titans posted a 129-run total batting first in their last outing. It may not be enough to win comfortably but the response from Titans with the ball was below average.
They only picked up 2 wickets while defending the score as the opposition chased it down in 17.5 Overs. Alleppey Ripples are relying on their top order to deliver big partnerships. It will be up to the top 3 to lead the Ripples to a competitive total.

Thrissur Titans will be hoping for a better performance with the ball in this match. The middle-order still looks quite promising but the bowlers have failed in back-to-back matches and that has created serious concerns for the Titans.
While they picked up just 2 wickets in the last match, they had conceded 155 runs while bowling first in the previous outing against Calicut. There is great variety in the bowling attack but there hasn’t been anyone consistently delivering wickets.
Mohammad Ishaque and Pathirikattu Midhun are the only reliable bowlers in this squad. Time and again, these two have delivered a huge impact with the ball. Monu Krishna was also looking promising with his spells before he went for runs in the last match after coming in as the impact player.
There are promising bowlers but only a couple of spells cannot put the opposition under pressure. They need a consolidated effort from the bowlers. Skipper Varun Nayanar, Vishnu Vinod, and Akshay Manohar are the key batters for Thrissur Titans in the middle order.
A lot depends on these 3 in the batting department. S Aanand Sagar and Abhishek Pratap aren’t delivering at the top and need to find their rhythm before it’s too late.

Alleppey Ripples will be eager to get back to winning ways. While there is still great room for improvement, their recent win should boost their confidence. Mohammad Azharuddeen and Krishna Prasad have been the only consistent performers in the batting lineup at the top.
The lack of contributions from the middle order is a huge concern for the Ripples coming into this match. However, the likes of Fazil Fanoos, Arfab Reshab, and Akshay Chandran pose a tough challenge with the ball.
They have been among the match-winning players in this squad and have delivered many impactful performances in the season. They also have Anand Joseph in the squad who’s delivered great spells earlier this season.
Ripples can rely on their bowlers to put the m on top of the game. But without the middle order stepping up to deliver partnerships, Alleppey Ripples can find themselves in trouble.
Vinoop Manoharan, Akshay TK, and Alfi Francis are the key middle-order batters who need to find their rhythm to lead Alleppey to a respectable 1st innings total. The least Ripples can expect is the in-form openers Azharuddeen and Krishna Prasad to continue scoring big in the powerplay.

It will be mostly cloudy in Thiruvananthapuram on the match day with a high of 28 degrees Celsius. There are no predictions for rain during the match and we expect a complete T20 game.
The pitch has completely swung in the bowler’s way lately with many matches dominated by the bowlers. It has become increasingly difficult to score big here and the average 1st innings score in the last 6 matches is 138 runs. Anything around 150 or more in this game can be a match-winning total.
Teams bowling first have won 6 of the last 10 matches in the Kerala Cricket League. Bowlers will be crucial to both teams and are the only reliable players who can give the team an upper hand in this match. Ripples recently won by defending a total but it hasn’t been their strongest suit and the skipper would be keen on bowling first this time around.
It is a contest between two inconsistent teams struggling with the bat. However, one of these sides is also struggling to pick up wickets and that is Thrissur Titans. Ripples, on the other hand, have a promising bowling attack that can lead them out of difficult situations in the game. Alleppey have a slight edge in this contest and will start as favorites in our match prediction.
