Opinion of Amit Mishra
This was, in my opinion, one of the season’s finest Kerala Premier League matches of the season. Akarsh AK’s 46 put up a fierce fight against Alleppey Ripples, but Aries Kollam Sailors appeared to be stronger in every way.
The game was shifted by Amal AG’s three wickets and Vishnu Vinod’s brilliant batting, demonstrating once more why the Sailors are one of the most competitive Kerala Cricket League sides in the KCL.
