KOY vs KOL Dream11 Prediction, Kerala T20 2025: In the 32nd fixture of the Kerala T20 Men's Challenger Trophy 2025, DCA Kottayam (KOY) are set to lock horns with DCA Kollam (KOL) on Saturday, May 31 at the picturesque St Xavier's College Ground, Thiruvananthapuram.

Both teams are reeling from inconsistent form, primarily due to rain-washed encounters, and will be eyeing a decisive win in this crucial mid-season clash. Kottayam have managed to complete just one of their four matches thus far, bagging a solitary win and three abandoned games due to persistent rain.

Kollam, on the other hand, have not fared any better, losing two matches while the remaining two were washed out. With the group stage nearing its end, a win here could potentially shape their playoff ambitions.

Pitch and Weather Conditions:

The St Xavier's College Ground is expected to offer a spin-friendly surface, especially as the game progresses. Early on, batters can take advantage of the good bounce and quick outfield. But as the surface wears, spinners will find considerable grip and variable bounce to trouble batters.

With a 91% chance of rainfall, another washed-out affair cannot be ruled out.
