In the second southern derby in two days, the Telugu Titans will take on the Tamil Thalaivas in what promises to be a delightful contest on Monday, 2nd September at 8:30 PM IST at the Sree Kantereeva Stadium, Bengaluru.
The last time both these sides met, it was the Tamil Thalaivas who coasted to a 39-26 win.
The Titans come off a 34-27 loss to the Puneri Paltan and need a win in this game to move off the bottom pile in the points table.
The Thalaivas meanwhile come off a 33-27 loss at the hands of hosts Bengaluru Bulls
Team News - Telugu Titans
With 24 points from 11 games, last only to the Patna Pirates, the Titans find themselves neck-deep in trouble.
They haven't been able to find the raid points with the Desai brothers contributing just 8 raid points against Pune and the third raider Amit Kumar just putting in empty raids although he got 2 tackle points to his name. No changes are expected although they should be made at this point.
In defence, they have looked comfortable with C Arun and Vishal Bhardwaj in good form in the left cover and corner positions. With not much to complain about, no changes are expected even here.
Predicted Starting 7: Abozar Mighani (C), Vishal Bhardwaj, Siddharth Desai, Suraj Desai, Farhad Milaghardhan, C. Arun, and Amit Kumar.
Team News - Tamil Thalaivas
Apart from Rahul Chaudhari with 8 raid points, none of the Thalaivas raiders flourished as Ajay Thakur's 4 points did not prove enough for the side. V Ajith Kumar has shined from the bench although Tamil Thalaivas might continue with Sagar due to his defensive returns.
Manjeet Chillar had a solid night in defence and was well supported by Mohit Chillar and Ran Singh. Ajeet had a bad night but will be persisted with thanks to his previous exploits.
Predicted Starting 7: Ajay Thakur(C), Rahul Chaudhari, Sagar, Ran Singh, Mohit Chhillar, Manjeet Chhillar, and Ajeet.
Dream 11 Fantasy Tips
Raiders: Ajay Thakur, Siddharth Desai and Rahul Chaudhari will be the obvious choice in the raiding department although their high price might make someone like Suraj Desai an option to consider. A minimum of one raider per side is a must for this match.
All-Rounders: Manjeet Chillar, Farhad Milaghardhan and Ran Singh are all quality all-rounders and any one or even two of them is good enough for the team.
Defenders: Vishal Bhardwaj, Abozar Mighani, Mohit Chillar and C Arun will be the top defensive options while players like Sagar and Ajeet help free up budget.
