As per our analysis and game stats and recent matches and squad of these two teams there is a high probability of Malappuram to win this match. Although the winner can be entirely attributed to the ground stats and its records.

So as per the ground stats the chances of team batting second are high, so the Chasing team will likely win the Semi Final 1 (Match 37)  of Kerala T20 Men’s Challenger Trophy 

However, with cricket’s unpredictable nature and CDS’s batting firepower, this match could go either way. So please analyze on your part and then invest.
