Kochi Blue Tigers will take on the Calicut Globstars in Semi-Final 2 of the ongoing KCL 2025 at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram on Friday, September 5.

The Saly Samson-led team has looked clinical since the start of the tournament. In 10 league games played, they won eight matches and secured the pole position in the standings. Currently on a five-match winning streak, the Kochi-based team will hope to continue its winning spree and earn a spot in the summit clash.

On the other hand, Calicut Globstars were the fourth team to qualify for the knockout stage after winning five out of their 10 games. The previous season's runner-ups will look to win this game and have a shot at grabbing the coveted title.

The surface at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram has been a batter-friendly surface over the years. When playing under artificial lights, the white ball is expected to swing around, especially in the first half of the match. Teams winning the toss will most probably opt to bowl first to avoid the risk of dew that might affect the play in the second innings, which makes run-scoring an easier job.

Calicut Globstars' opener Rohan Kunnummal has been his team's best batter so far. In the 10 games, Rohan has hammered 328 runs at an average of 32.80 and a strike rate of 188.51. The 27-year-old will be hoping to get runs off his bat in the crucial game against Kochi Blue Tigers.

Calicut Globstars skipper Akhil Scaria has bagged 25 wickets in 10 games so far and is also the highest-wicket taker of the competition. Scaria will be hoping to better his stats in the coming game, and his performance will be crucial for the Calicut-based team to earn a spot in the finals.
