Match Analysis

Patna Pirates

We really liked the tempo and the combination with which the Patna Pirates plaid their previous match. They had three outstanding raiders on the mat in Monu Goyat, Prashanth Kumar Rai, and Sachin that were always able to put pressure on the opposition. The form of Sachin was very encouraging and we really hope that the Patna Pirates give him a bigger role in the matches to come. The defense was led by Mohammadreza and Sunil in the previous match. They performed quite well and we think the Pirates are going to stick to the same combination on the mat for this match.

Bengal Warriors

Maninder Singh tried his best to match Naveen Kumar in the previous match but just could not. That is not to say that he played badly because Naveen Kumar is on another level altogether. Maninder Singh ended up with 16 raid points in the match and would definitely feel a lot more confident coming into this match. Sukesh Hegde also scored nine points and Mohammad Nabibhakhsh contributed at important junctures as well. Two losses on the row would have made the Bengal Warriors more desperate to win and stay with the top teams of the Pro Kabaddi League.

There is undoubted depth in the lineup and a lot of experience but falling short in comparison to two strong teams leading up to this match is not a good sign.

Key stat

Maninder Singh is averaging nine points per game so far and has 36 raid points in total so far. That puts him on fourth in the list of the leading raiders of PKL 2021-22. As a team, though, the Patna Pirates have the most average tackle points per match out of any team in PKL 2021-22 so far.

Verdict

This is a very close match and we think it could go down right to the wire. Looking at the current form of the Patna Pirates, we think they have a slightly better defense and their raiding unit is also picking up momentum at just the right time.

Bet on the Patna Pirates to win.
