KOL vs CDS Head-to-Head Records (Total matches played: 00)

DCA Kollam and Combined Districts will face off for the first time in this tournament, as this is the 25th match of this season, and we don't have any Dream11 head-to-head records for the KOL vs CDS rivalry. However, it will be exciting to see who will take the lead by defeating another team in the next match.

KOL vs CDS Weather Report & Pitch Report

The weather in Thiruvananthapuram for the 25th match of the Kerala Men’s T20 Challengers Trophy 2025 between KOL and CDS is not favorable for the match to happen. Rain is predicted on a match day, with a 50% chance of precipitation and a temperature of around 31°C.

If we look at the pitch at St. Xavier’s College Ground, it looks to be ideal for batters due to its even bounce and pace. Bowlers will also benefit from this pitch in the early overs, as the new ball will provide a little extra swing. But overall, it's a batting paradise with plenty of runs. So, on this pitch, it is best to field first, keeping the batters to a low score with precise and tight bowling, and then chase it down with your batting lineup.

Record of Chasing Teams on this Stadium

According to St. Xavier’s College Ground's previous statistics, a total of 24 matches were played this season, with the team fielding first winning 10 of them (around 41%) and the team batting first winning only the remaining seven. Also, seven matches resulted in a draw due to interruption by the rain. As a result, fielding first may be the best option on this pitch after winning the toss. Given that, teams that fielded first in the other matches were victorious in this tournament. That is why fielding first after winning the toss may be the key to success.

KOL vs CDS : CDS to win the toss and choose to field first

We expect CDS to win the toss and may opt to field first on this pitch, as previous stats on this ground have indicated that fielding is the best option after winning the toss. As a result, CDS will look to do the same in their upcoming match against KOL.
