TTS vs ARKS Match Prediction & Analysis
Thrissur Titans have won back-to-back matches and will be looking for a 3rd straight win as the race to playoffs gets tighter. Aries Kollam Sailors are at the top of the points table with 7 wins from 9 matches.
They had been in great form with the batters delivering consistently until the last match where the Sailors failed to post a competitive 1st innings total.
Titans who chased down a 182-run target against Alleppey with 8 wickets in hand found themselves struggling in the next game as they lost 6 wickets on their way to an 85-run target.
Aries Kollam Sailors could see their recent defeat as a hiccup and will be looking to get back to winning ways ahead of the playoffs. They will be posing a tough challenge to an inconsistent Titans lineup.
The Sailors have a great variety in the bowling attack but only a few of their bowlers have looked threatening. It is the batting strength that has led them to the top of the table.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Thrissur Titans Preview
Thrissur Titans are looking for a spot in the semi-finals. As of now, they are comfortably at number 4 but Alleppey Ripples could overtake them if Titans don’t find a win to get to 10 points quickly.
The Titans have the momentum on their side but their inconsistencies are a huge concern going ahead. Vishnu Vinod’s record-breaking hundred led them to an 8-wicket win chasing down 183 but in the next game, TT were 6 down on their way to 85.
They did a great job with the ball as they bowled out the Tigers for just 84 runs. Mohammad Ishaque was the player of the match with his 4-fer. MD Nidheesh and Monu Krishan are other key wicket-takers in this squad to watch out for.
It was only in the last game that Thrissur Titans were impressive with the ball. In previous outings, they conceded 181 bowling first and picked up just 2 wickets while defending 129 runs against the Royals.
The middle-order batters are key to a good total for the Titans. Skipper Varun Nayanar at number 4 along with Akshay Manohar are expected to deliver handy contributions while Vishnu Vinod will be expected to bounce back at the top.
Thrissur Titans Predicted Playing XI:
Varun Nayanar (c), Abhishek Pratap, Vishnu Vinod, Akhay Manohar, Monu Krishna, Ahmed Imran, Niranjan V Dev, Eden Apple Tom, MD Nidheesh, Pathirikattu Midhun, Vaisakh Chandran

Aries Kollam Sailors Preview
Aries Kollam Sailors’ winning run ended in their last match as the table-toppers lost to Trivandrum Royals while defending 131 runs. It was a disappointing performance with the bat. The Sailors had chased down 173 and 159 runs in their previous outings.
While Vathsal Govind delivered a fifty at the top after he was back in the side for the last game, skipper Sachin Baby failed to make an impact at number 3. The captain had scored a brilliant hundred against KBT while chasing 159 and built a 58-run partnership with Arun Poulose in the next game.
There have been a lot of changes to this batting lineup except for Baby playing at number 3. Arun Poulose who scored a brilliant 44 off 24 balls was out of the XI in the next game and Govind replaced him as the opener.
There are quality batters in the middle order who aren’t shuffled as much. Anandhu Sunil, Rahul Sharma, and Sharafuddeen NM are the ones adding depth to this lineup.
Biju Narayanan, KM Asif, and Vijay Viswanath will be the key bowlers to watch out for in this side. While not all of the bowlers in this squad have been threatening or consistent, the Sailors have managed to deliver a consolidated effort and put the opposition on the back foot.
Aries Kollam Sailors Predicted Playing XI:
Vathsal Govind, Arun Poulose, Sachin Baby (c), Bharath Soorya (wk), Anandhu Sunil, Rahul Sharma, Sharafuddeen NM, Biju Narayanan, Sudhesan Midhun, Basil NP, KM Asif

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
There will be cloudy skies over Thiruvananthapuram on the match day with a high of 30 degrees Celsius. It has been a rainy week but it will be only cloudy from Monday onward with no rain prediction for the match day.
TTS vs ARKS Pitch Report
It has been an unpredictable pitch in recent outings. We witnessed some brilliant batting performances and it was immediately followed by huge collapses. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 matches of the Kerala Cricket League is 146 runs. The highest total chased in the last 10 outings at this venue is 183 runs. It is quite tricky to predict a match-winning total on this ground and it depends on the pitch conditions on the given day.
Toss: To Bowl
Sailors have been successful in chasing down totals. The Titans also won their last two games while chasing. 6 of the last 8 matches in the league went in favor of the team bowling first. Winning the toss and opting to bowl will give the team a slight edge going into the match.
TTS vs ARKS
Winning Prediction
It should be a close contest between two in-form sides. The Titans aren’t consistent with the bat but have looked great with the ball. They will be under pressure to find consistency with the bat. Aries Kollam Sailors have a strong batting lineup with depth and they have a stronger overall balance to their side. AKS will start with a slight edge in our match prediction.
