That's all from this one-sided contest, folks! Aries Kollam Sailors storm into the summit clash of Kerala Cricket League 2025, and the second semifinal of the season is just around the corner. For now, it's me, Deepak Prakash, signing off on behalf of my colleagues, Arjun Bhalla, Mohammad Anab, and Yogesh Kumar. CHEERS!
Sachin Baby (Aries Kollam Sailors Captain): "Really grateful for this win. We had a good meeting yesterday with our beloved mentor, Sri Bhai (Sreesanth). Heās such a big source of positive energy for our side, and his presence made a real difference. The rest just followed.
Heās been a fantastic mentor, giving a lot of encouragement to all the boys here. Iād also like to congratulate the Thrissur team. And I must mention Imran as wellāa 20-year-old kid playing in this league and scoring almost half the teamās runs. So, big congratulations to the Thrissur team too.
(On sending Bharath Soorya to open the innings) As I always say, we have 18 match winners in our squad, but unfortunately only 11 can play at a time. He has been working really hard during the tough times, and weāve seen his work ethic as well. Heās been fantastic, and whatever opportunities heās got, he has grabbed them with both hands."

Shoun Roger (Finesse Thrissur Titans Captain): "We didn't put enough runs on the board and therefore, making it difficult for our bowlers to come up and defend the total. The batting failure was the only reason behind our loss.
There are lot of positives for us to take from this year's tournament. There were some fine performances from our players. Also, we have promising youngsters who have definitely expressed themselves in this tournament.
I thank the Thrissur Titans' owners to have faith in me to lead this team. They have been very supportive.
I also credit the Kerala Cricket Association for hosting this wonderful tournament, which is being live telecasted as well. It is a good platform for the state's cricketers."

Amal AG (POTM): "Yeah, Sachin believed in me and told me to bowl in the right areas without taking pressure. I really enjoyed the situations. We built a bowling partnership yesterday and executed it well today. I would like to dedicate my Player of the Match award to my wife."

Time for the post-match presentation...
4:55 PM IST, Local Time: A commanding victory for Aries Kollam Sailors as they drub Thrissur Titans by 10 wickets and 61 balls to spare, securing their spot in the grand finale of the Kerala Cricket League 2025.
Earlier, the decision to bowl first proved fruitful for Aries Kollam Sailors as they skittled Thrissur Titans for a paltry 86 runs in 17.1 overs. The Titansā openers, Anand Krishnan (23) and Ahammed Imran (13), adopted a cautious approach in the powerplay, adding 36 runs for the opening stand but failed to carry the momentum forward. Once both openers departed, the Titansā innings collapsed like a pack of cards, with the rest of the batting unit offering little resistance. Apart from the openers, none of the other batters managed to reach double figures, resulting in a dismal batting display and a meagre total on the board.
Pavan Raj, Amal AG, Vijay Vishwanath, and Ajayaghosh N S claimed a couple of wickets each for Aries Kollam Sailors, while Sachin Baby and Sharafuddeen contributed one wicket to the downfall.
In response, Abhishek Nair and Bharath Soorya started cautiously before capitalizing on scoring opportunities. The pair kept the scoreboard moving at a brisk pace and wrapped up the chase with 61 balls to spare, as Soorya sealed the victory with a six on the penultimate ball of the 10th over. He remained unbeaten on 56, while Nair provided solid support with an unbeaten 32.
The Titansā bowlers failed to produce a single wicket-taking delivery and consistently leaked runs, ultimately facing a humiliating defeat in the semi-final.
Stay tuned for the presentation.......
