Kochi Blue Tigers vs Aries Kollam Sailors Chance of Winning

Kochli Blue Tigers have kicked off their Kerala Cricket League 2025 campaign with back-to-back two wins, and are currently the table-toppers in the six-team tournament. After thrashing Adani Trivandrum Royals by eight wickets, they hammered Alleppey Ripples by 34 runs on Friday. On the other hand, defending champions Aries Kollam Sailors have endured a fidgety start. They somehow managed a one-wicket in their opening match, and then ended up losing to Trivandrum by four wickets.

Kochi Blue Tigers will once again have a better chance of beating Aries Kollam Sailors. Kochi have been mighty impressive with the ball in both the matches, and their batting depth was also on display against Allepey. Despite Sanju Samson scoring just 13 off 22, they finished at 183/8 after an unbeaten 13-ball 31 by their number seven batter. The same hasn't been the case with Kollam and majority of their batters have failed in both the matches. Both their matches saw five batters each getting out for a single digit score. They failed to defend 165 in their second match. Kochi bundled out opposition for 97 in the first match, and 149 in the second.

Kochi Blue Tigers vs Aries Kollam Sailors Betting Odds

Aries Kollam Sailors to score under 18.5 ruins before fall of first wicket

Aries Kollam Sailors have endured poor starts to their batting innings in both their matches so far. In the first match, Kollam could not even open their account as Vishnu Vindo was dismissed for a golden duck. Abhishek Nair went on to score 21 off 20. In the second match, a two-run opening stand was forged between the duo. Vinod failed once again as Nair scored 53 of 36. Vinod's confidence has gone for a toss, and would be put to test against an exceptionally talented bowling group of Kochi, who have bowled out their opponents in both their outings so far. Not only have they picked wickets, but have also been very economical. Pumped up Kochi are also raring to win their third consecutive match, and therefore scoring over 19 runs together is not going to be easy for Kollam openers.

Kochi Blue Tigers vs Aries Kollam Sailors Top Batters

Sanju Samson to be Kochi Blue Tigers' top batter

India wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson played an uncharacteristic knock of 13 runs off 22 balls against Alleppey Ripples on Saturday. Not even a single boundary came off his bat. The 30-year-old has been picked as the first-choice wicketkeeper-batter for the upcoming Asia Cup. The Rajasthan Royals captain is expected to bounce back strongly on Sunday. He has three T20I and IPL hundreds each to his name.

Vathsal Govind to be Aries Kollam Sailors' top batter

Aries Kollam Sailors number four batter Vathsal Govind top-scored for his team with 63 runs off 47 balls on Saturday. The innings consisted of three fours and as many sixes. In the first match also, he was the leading run-scorer for his team with 41 off 31 balls. The 25-year-old has hit form early in the tournament, and eyes will be on him once again.

Kochi Blue Tigers vs Aries Kollam Sailors Top Bowlers

KM Asif to be Kochi Blue Tigers' top bowler

32-year-old KM Asif lived up to the expectations and picked four wickets against Alleppey Ripples on Saturday. He gave away just 23 runs from his 3.2 overs. In the first match as well, he gave away just 13 runs in four overs to pick a wicket. The 32-year-old has been part of IPL teams like Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals.

Biju Narayanan to be Aries Kollam Sailors' top bowler

Left-arm spinner Biju Narayanan has been impressive for Kollam in the Kerala Cricket League 2025 so far. He picked one wicket for 13 runs in three overs, and then picked two wickets in his second outing against Adani Trivandrum Royals. The 30-year-old could be amongst wickets once again.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Kochi Blue Tigers

Kochi Blue Tigers are on a roll, and are the favourites to beat Aries Kollam Sailors in their third match of the Kerala Cricket League 2024. Kochi have won their first two games, and are high on confidence on the back of their all-round performance. Bundling out the opposition for 97 in the first match, and 149 in the second display their batting prowess. And also four different batters have performed for them in two matches so far. In short, Kochi are playing as an unit, and it's going to be very difficult for an under-confident Aries Kollam Sailors to stop them.
