Hello shanul karim,

Could you please try following and let me know if this helps you.
Code:
awk -F, '          ##Setting field separator as comma.
{split($2,a," ");  ##splitting 2nd field to an array a whose separator is space.
if(a[1]==$3){      ##checking a condition here if array a 1st element and 3rd field are equal as per your request then do following.
print $0,"Matched"}##printing the current line and string Matched here.
else {             ##putting else here in case above if condition is not true cursor should come here and perform following.
print $0,"Non-Matched"##printing the current line and string Non-Matched here.
}
}'   Input_file    ##Mentioning the Input_file here.
