Jaipur Pink Panthers are set to face Puneri Paltan in Match No. 130 of the Pro Kabaddi League 2021 on Saturday.
The previous meeting between the two teams in January ended with the Pink Panthers winning 31-26. The upcoming match is crucial for both teams as the winner of this contest will qualify for the knockout stage.
Puneri Paltan lost to the Bengal Warriors 36-43 in their previous match, making their path towards the playoffs tougher. With Gujarat Giants beating Tamil Thalaivas in the final match of the day and climbing above Paltan in the points table to sixth spot, things got more difficult for them.
The Jaipur Pink Panthers, on the other hand, crushed the Telugu Titans in their previous match by 19 points, giving them an entry into the top six. They will look to carry their form from the previous match into the next game and qualify for the knockout stage.
