Today's PKL Match Prediction
It will be a battle between two strong raiding units as the defense of both sides is looking light and inexperienced. While the Thalaivas have assembled a young and energetic attack, the Titans have the experience of Siddharth Desai and Rohit Kumar.
It would be an uphill task for the Thalaivas' defense to contain the attacking duo of the Titans. However, if they manage to do so, Tamil Thalaivas will have a chance to win this game.
Prediction: Telugu Titans are expected to win this contest.
