Probable Playing 7s
Patna Pirates
Patna Pirates put up a solid show to crush Gujarat Giants by 20 points in their last game to move to second spot in the points table.
Guman Singh was the key performer with 11 points. Mohammadreza Chiyaneh and Sachin contributed eight and six points respectively. Chiyaneh has been one of the best defenders in the tournament, and could pose a threat to Maninder and the other Bengal raiders.
Probable Playing 7: Guman Singh, Prashanth Kumar Rai, Sachin Tanwar, Neeraj Kumar, Sunil, C Sajin, Mohammadreza Chiyaneh.
Bengal Warriors
Captain Maninder Singh led from the front despite a loss against Haryana. He picked up 13 points in the game.
He has been in top form this season, having amassed 200 raid points. Sukesh Hegde, Mohammad Nabibakhsh and Ran Singh picked up four points each in their last game. However, the team needs to support Singh well if they want to beat Patna.
Probable Playing 7: Anand V, Maninder Singh, Sukesh Hegde, Abozar Mighani, Mohammad Nabibakhsh, Ran Singh, Vishal Mane.
Today’s PKL Match Prediction
The likes of Guman Singh, Prashanth Kumar Rai, Monu Goyat and Sachin form a solid raiding unit for Patna. Moreover, Chiyaneh has led their defence very well. Patna have had one of the best defensive units this season. So it could be a challenge for Maninder Singh and co to get past the rock-solid Patna defence.
Meanwhile, Bengal Warriors have struggled for consistency this season. They could be low on confidence after back-to-back defeats.
The Warriors have been overly dependent on Maninder Singh. The rest of the team needs to put in solid performances to help their team bounce back into contention. The Pirates will fancy their chances of beating the Warriors.
Prediction: Patna Pirates to beat Bengal Warriors.
