Good evening everyone..
Welcome to the LIVE coverage of second of tonight’s double header between the hosts Dabang Delhi and Puneri Paltan at the Thyagaraj Sports Complex, Delhi in the ongoing Star Sports Pro Kabaddi League season 4.
The Eagles are currently placed on the 7th spot in the league standings, but still have a chance to qualify for the semi-finals if they win their remaining two matches and other results also go in their way. Their star raider Kashiling Adake has finally found form in this season 4 and has accumulated a mammoth total of 24 points for the Eagles in their last 2 encounters. Their Iranian import all-rounder Meraj Sheykh has been sensational for his new franchise in season 4, gathering a total of 59 raid points as well as 9 tackle points to help his team stay in contention for the last semi-final spot.
On the other hand, Puneri Paltan sit in the 5th place in the league standings and have to win their remaining two matches in order to secure a safe passage to the semi-finals. Their remaining two matches are up against the lowly 7th (Dabang Delhi) and 6th (Bengaluru Bulls) placed teams in the league standings and still have the best chance to qualify for the semi-finals. Most probably, their skipper Manjeet Chhillar will make a timely return from a knee injury which has forced the all-rounder to miss the two of Pune’s last 3 matches. Their star raiders Deepak Hudda has been outstanding this season, has gathered a total of 75 raid points so far while Ajay Thakur has accumalated a total of 56 raid points.
The two sides have met each other on 7 previous occasions in the PKL history with both the sides winning the encounter on 3 occasions each, while drawing the one 27-27 ealier this season.

Game Plan
Dabang Delhi – Meraj Sheykh and Kashiling Adake will be up against Pune's left corner, Joginder Narwal and Right Cover, Somvir Shekhar. Joginder was struggling in the last game against Patna Pirates, So Both Kashi and Meraj should target him more.
Puneri Paltan – Left Raider, Deepak Hooda will be facing Sachin Shingade and Prasant Chavan of Delhi. Pune will have to rely on experienced Ajay Thakur and Captain Manjeet Chillar, both are right raiders and will take on Delhi's left corner Anil Kumar and right cover D. Suresh Kumar. Ajay is well known for his running hand touches and should target Suresh on the right cover position.
