Match Analysis

Jaipur Pink Panthers

The Jaipur Pink Panthers become the first team to lose to the Telugu Titans this season. That result can be seen as a bit of an upset since the Jaipur Pink Panthers were playing excellent kabaddi before that match. Three wins a tie from its previous five matches (including the loss to the Telugu Titans) indicates that the team is in pretty good touch.

The focus is going to be on Arjun Deshwal once more, who has been one of the best raiders this season. His ability to come up with successful raids under pressure is really second to only Naveen Kumar.

With Deepak Niwas Hooda also finding his mojo as a raiding all-rounder and a defense that is very difficult to penetrate, the Jaipur Pink Panthers certainly enter this game with a well-balanced side.

Tamil Thalaivas

The Tamil Thalaivas have found a brilliant raider in Manjeet, whom we believe will dominate the Pro Kabaddi League in years to come. It does seem, though, that the Tamil Thalaivas are a bit too dependent on his performances. Bhavani Rajput and Athul MS have not lived up to the promise that showed in the early part of the tournament. We think Manjeet needs to have an outstanding game for the Tamil Thalaivas to have a chance in this match.

Where the Thalaivas actually have an edge over the Jaipur Pink Panthers is the defense. Surjeet Singh is one of the leading defenders of PKL 2021-22 and is central to how the entire defense performs. He is well-supported by a disciplined and well-drilled unit that can be quite tough to score against.

Key stat

Surjeet Singh and Sagar have 37 tackle points each from the 11 matches that they have played. This is the most for any raider in PKl 2021-22. FOr two of them to be in the same side is a massive advantage for the Tamil Thalaivas.

Verdict

We are going to bet on the Jaipur Pink Panthers to win. The odds available on them are slightly better (not much) and the previous match between these two teams ended in a tie. This shows that the teams are quite close and with the Jaipur Pink Panthers having the upper hand in offense, we think they are the team to back in this contest. The Tamil Thalaivas have been involved in five ties this season and so it would be a good idea to hedge your bet with a tie as well.

Bet on the Jaipur Pink Panthers to win.
