Alleppey Ripples beat Thrissur Titans by 5 wickets
Thrissur Titans Preview
Thrissur Titans currently stand second on the points table and have had a good campaign so far. They defeated Aries Kollam Sailors by 4 wickets in their previous match and will be confident after completing a 160-run chase with four balls to spare.
The Titans’ batting unit showed good faith in the previous match. KR Rohit made a flying start by scoring 27 runs off 10 balls, while Nikhil Thothat remained unbeaten with 41 off 22 balls.
Mohamed Annan then played an important role, scoring 17 runs off just five balls to quickly end the chase. The Giants have several hitters capable of scoring runs quickly, and their ability to close out games will give them confidence against the Ripples.
The bowling unit also played an important role in the previous win. They restricted Aries Kollam Sailors to 160 runs, although the batting conditions were good. Sarath Prasad was the outstanding bowler with three wickets for 16 runs, while Biju Narayanan also took three wickets.
Mohamed Annan added two goals and was named man of the match for his all-round contribution. The Giants have enough wicket-taking options to put pressure on Ripples’ batting order.
Main players: Nikhil Thut, KR Rohit, M. Annan
Thrissur Titans Projected Playing XI:

Alleppey ripples preview
Alleppey Ripples currently sits in third place in the table with 5 wins from 9 matches. They have already secured a place in the playoffs, but this match will be important as both teams have a chance to finish second.
The Ripples batting unit showed a lot of attacking intent in their previous game but could not complete the chase of 242 runs. Mohammad Azharuddin scored 32 runs off 14 balls, while Arun Ka played a good innings of 59 off 32 balls. Akshay TK also scored 22 off 10 balls, while Mannembeth Sreeroop added 26 off 15 balls.
However, the team was eventually limited to 173 runs. The Ripples will need more support throughout the innings and will be hoping their top order can have more of an impact against the Giants.
Bowling was the biggest concern in the previous match. The Ripples conceded 242 runs and struggled to contain opposing hitters. Sibin Gireesh was the only bowler to take more than one wicket, finishing with two wickets, but he also took 29 runs from two overs.
Akhil Dev V took one wicket while giving away 52 runs, while Abijith Praveen conceded 55 runs from four overs. The bowling unit will need a much improved performance if they are to stop the Titans’ batting line-up.
Main players: Arun Ka, Muhammad Azharuddin, Sibin Girish
Alleppey Rebels Prediction Playing XI:
Muhammad Azharuddin (WK), Sachin Bibi (C), Akash C Pillai, Arun KA, Akshay TK, Abhijith Praveen, Sibin Girish, Jalaj Saxena, Manimpeth Sriroop, Akhil Dev V, Vinil TS, Ashiq Ali BS

TTS vs ALRS Presentation Report
Greenfield International Stadium has produced good batting conditions in recent matches, with the first innings score averaging around 184 over the last 5 matches. The wicket should provide plenty of opportunities for batsmen to play their shots.
Bowlers will need to maintain their lines and lengths as loose deliveries may be penalized. With the pitch expected to remain good for hitting, teams chasing the target can have an advantage.
Predicting the outcome:
If the Thrissur Titans hit first: 165-175
If Alleppey waves hit first: 160-170
Toss: into a bowl
The captain winning the toss may prefer to bowl first. The last matches in this stadium favored the teams’ chase, as the team won second place in 4 of the last 5 matches. The pitch has also been good for hitting, so chasing the target may be the preferred option.
Thrissur Titans will be the favorite for this game. Both teams have registered 5 wins from 9 matches, but the Giants currently sit above the Ripples in the points table and enter this match on the back of a convincing win over Aries Kollam Sailors.
They also have a 3-2 advantage over Alleppey Ripples in their last five meetings. Alleppey Ripples has enough batting ability to make this game competitive, but their bowling performance in the previous match was a concern. The Giants look more balanced right now and have the advantage.
Thrissur Titans to win the match.
