The Puneri Paltan take on the Tamil Thalaivas in the second semi-final of Vivo Pro Kabaddi 2022 on Thursday, December 15, at the ‘Dome, NSCI SVP Stadium in Mumbai.
After one of the best games in PKL history, the Thalaivas continue their dream run and make it to the Semi-Finals despite missing Pawan Sehrawat and Sagar. A roller-coaster of a game, the Thalaivas had different players stepping up and delivering at the right time.
Captain Ajinkya Pawar and Narender were solid in the raiding department, and everyone chipped in with the tackle points. Their confidence and composure in tense situations make them formidable opponents and the Paltan should be wary.
However, Pune has had an excellent season themselves and under the leadership of Fazel Atrachali, they'll be hoping they can make their first PKL final. They finished in second place on the points table, two points off the top. Their young raiding trio of Aslam Inamdar, Mohit Goyat, and Akash Shinde are electric and their battle against a solid Thalaivas defense is one to watch.

PUN vs TAM Dream11 Team Prediction Top Picks, Pro Kabaddi 2022, Semi-Final 2
Raider - Narender
The Thalaivas' lead raider has delivered for them in most games so far. He's definitely in line to do so once again.
Defender - Fazel Atrachali
Fazel Atrachali is a big-game player and he should be an influential force for the Paltan defense in this game.
All-Rounder - Himanshu
Himanshu could become the only all-rounder to start this match, and even otherwise, he's the best option on paper.

PUN vs TAM Expert tips for Pro Kabaddi 2022
Both sides are quite similar in their build, and this might be a tough game to call. The form is on the Thalaivas' side, but the Paltan's depth and strength on paper give them a slight edge. I wouldn't bank heavily on the Pune raiders as they split their raids and cut into each other's chance for points. That being said, Mohit Goyat's higher % of touch points and propensity to pick up tackle points makes him the best option for the Pune raiding trio.
