Match Analysis

Bengaluru Bulls

The previous match that the Bengaluru Bulls played was against the Patna Pirates and that was a contest in which the limitations of the Bulls were put on display. Pawan Kumar Sehrawat had a good game, finishing with a Super-10 but it was not enough to get his team over the line. The backup raiders did not perform as expected and even a senior raider like Chandran Ranjit looked quite pedestrian against the Patna Pirates defense. In the defense, Saurabh Nandal picked up six points but the rest of the players seemed to be making a lot of errors.

The Bulls need Pawan Kumar Sehrawat to have a great game in every match and also contribute in the defense. That has been what is happening in previous matches and being ahead in the match early also takes off the pressure from the rest of the players. The Bulls do not look like a team that plays well while behind.

Patna Pirates

The Patna Pirates were taken by surprise at the change in tactics from Dabang Delhi KC and just had no answer. They missed the experience of Monu Goyat on the mat as Sachin, Prashanth Kumar Rai, and Guman Singh fell short of the required effort on the day. That one result does not make the Patna Pirates a bad team, though. We still think they have more depth and quality in their lineup than any other team in PKL 2021-22. Their raiding department may have had an off night but it is still very good.

The defense is right up there in all the stat categories and that only happens through consistent performances. Don't count out the Pirates.

Key stat

The Bengaluru Bulls have the most raid point in PKL 2021-22 while the Patna Pirates have the most tackle points. This makes for a fascinating contest between teams that have pretty contrasting styles of playing.

Verdict

We are going to bet on the Patna Pirates to win. We think their defense has the skill to be able to keep Pawan Kumar Sehrawat under check and prevent him from running away with the game. The Pirates also have the raiding quality to attack the Bulls at all times during the contest.

Bet on the Patna Pirates to win.
