Kolkata Thunderbolts vs Kochi Blue Spikers Match Prediction

The Kolkata Thunderbolts are playing as a combined unit at the moment. The trio of Ashwal Rai, K Rahul, and Vinit Kumar were instrumental in their previous win against Hyderabad as they notched up 15,13, and 12 points, respectively. They will look to carry forward their fine form in the upcoming matches as well.

Meanwhile, Kochi Blue Spikers looked off-colour in their opening game of the tournament. Jibin Sebastian was the only positive for the team who scored an impressive nine points in the game. However, he needs more support from other players if they wish to challenge an in-form Kolkata Thunderbolts in their upcoming game.

Match Prediction: Kolkata Thunderbolts to win this game.
