Prediction & Betting Tips 2025

Kochi Blue Tigers' captaincy was done by Saly Viswanath despite the presence of Sanju samson, and he did not disappoint. The 32-year-old right-hand batter scored 50 runs off 30 balls. The innings consisted of five fours and three sixes. With the momentum and form on his side, betting on Viswanath would be a smart move.

Sreeroop MP walked in as a substitute in the match against Thrissur, and scored 30 runs off 23 balls. The innings consisted of three fours and a six. The innings played a crucial role in taking Alleppey past 150. The unbeaten knock makes him again one of the favourites to top-score in the upcoming fixture.

Kochi Blue Tigers vs Alleppey Ripples Betting Odds

Kochi Blue Tigers to score over 18.5 ruins before fall of first wicket

Sanju Samson did not come out to bat in his side's first match of the Kerala Cricket League 2025 as his openers V Manoharan, and Jobin Joby partnered for 22 runs. With the Asia Cup 2025 approaching, Sanju Samson would also be hoping for some warm-up games, and the match against Alleppey Ripples could be the one where he walks out to open the innings. Regardless, Vinoop Manoharan, and Jobin Joby also have the potential to score over 19 runs together. Joby was amongst runs last year. Kochi's opening stand accounted for 49 runs when they last clashed against Alleppey.

Kochi Blue Tigers vs Alleppey Ripples Top Batters

Sanju Samson to be Kochi Blue Tigers' top batter

Kochi Blue Tigers captain Sanju Samson is one of the finest white-ball players in the country, especially in the T20 format. With 42 T20I and 176 IPL matches under his belt, the 30-year-old is expected to make merry of the time he is part of the KCL 2025. Sanju has a T20I strike rate of 152.39, and scored 4704 runs in IPL at a strike rate of 139.05. We can expect a blazing knock from Samson on the third day of the KCL 2025.

Mohammed Azharuddeen to be Alleppey Ripples' top batter

Mohammed Azharuddeen, top-scored for his team with 56 runs off 38 balls against Thrissur. The innings consisted of three fours and as many sixes, He was the fourth-highest run-scorer in the Kerala Cricket League 2024. The 31-year-old scored 410 runs at a strike rate of 150.7. A total of 28 fours and as many as 25 sixes came off his bat.

Kochi Blue Tigers vs Alleppey Ripples Top Bowlers

KM Asif to be Kochi Blue Tigers' top bowler

KM Asif did not emerge as the leading wicket-taker for Kochi in their opening match, but his spell of four overs in which he gave away just 13 runs played a key role in putting pressure on Adani Trivandrum Royals. The 32-year-old has been part of IPL teams like Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals. The right-arm pacer picked 12 wickets in eight matches in Kerala Cricket League last year. The onus will be on him to lead Kochi's bowling attack.

Vignesh Puthur to be Alleppey Ripples' top bowler

On a day when Alleppey Ripples bowlers struggled, Vignesh Puthur picked two wickets for 25 runs in 3.3 overs. He played five matches and picked six wickets at an average of 18.16 for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2025. The 24-year-old, who is yet to play senior domestic cricket, dismissed the likes of Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shivam Dube and Deepak Hooda on his debut in Chennai. Puthur has a great chance of emerging as one of the leading wicket-takers in the KCL 2025.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Kochi Blue Tigers

Sanju Samson's Kochi Blue Tigers are the favourites to beat Alleppey Ripples in their upcoming second match of the Kerala Cricket League 2025. As expected the Alleppey batting relied heavily on Mohammed Azharuddeen and the bowlers except for Vignesh Puthur sprayed it all over the pitch. The shaky start is going to create problems against a team like Kochi Blue Tigers, who are extra motivated due to the presence of Sanju Samson in the camp. They bowled out Trivandrum for 97 runs only, o\allowing just three batters to score in double digits, and then chased down the target with eight wickets and 49 balls remaining. The bowling unit looks set to give them an extra edge again.
