Calicut Heroes vs Chennai Blitz Match Prediction
The Calicut Heroes are firm favorites to win this game as they have played brilliantly throughout the tournament. The team will be relying on their star player Jose Sandoval, who was their star performer in the previous game against the Defenders as he scored an impressive 15 points in the game.
Meanwhile, Chennai Bliz have failed to perform as a combined unit. Naveen Raja Jacob has been the only positive for the team so far. He single-handedly notched up 12 points for his team, but all his efforts went in vain as the team suffered a humiliating 5-0 loss in the game.
Match Prediction: Calicut Heroes to win this game.
