Right then, U Mumba have had a topsy-turvy last few games. A couple of wins were followed by twin losses to the Dabang Delhi K.C. and Puneri Paltan. Just when their campaign seemed to be in trouble, they came roaring back to clinch a 2-point win over the Tamil Thalaivas. Mumba were handed a humiliating 20-point defeat by the Pirates the last time that these two outfits clashed and will certainly be hungry for revenge. A win here will significantly boost their place in the points table and the Mumbai side will just have to put in that extra effort to seize the win. 

Patna Pirates, on the other hand, have been absolutely dominant throughout the tournament. They are branded as favourites to win the title this season. They have played exceptionally well, ever since their return after 10-day hiatus. Their only loss came to the Pink Panthers but apart from that, the Pirates have trampled any side that has stood in its way. They come into this match on the back of a 9-point win against the Warriors and will be looking to extend their unbeaten streak to four matches. They are currently placed first in the points table with the best Score Difference among all teams of +82 and will be looking to fortify their position at the top of the table.
