St Xavier's College Ground, Thumba is overall a good wicket which has help for both batters and bowlers but pacers enjoy the most here. On this ground both batting and bowling get a chance. But the pacers are more effective with the new ball. As the match progresses the pitch slows down and scoring runs becomes a bit difficult. This season four matches have been played at this venue. The Teams batting first and second have won an equal number of matches (2) so far. This pitch is a balanced pitch till date.

DCA Palakkad and DCA Kozhikode were always in the different groups which is why they have not clashed yet in the history of the tournament.

Both teams are good, however DCA Palakkad is better than DCA Kozhikode in all forms. They have better players in S. Sachin, V. Renjith Menon, and Jishnu-A who can turn the game to their favour in a short time. Also they have a strong bowling lineup against a very weak batting lineup of DCA Kozhikode. The recent form of DCA Palakkad is better than DCA Kozhikode which gives them an edge over them to win this match.
