Match Analysis

Puneri Paltan

Having Rahul Chaudhari and Nitin Tomar on the mat did not really pay dividends to Puneri Paltan. Not one of the raiders got a Super-10 and the team was held to just 30 points in total. There is no doubt about the class of both these raiders, though, and so we are expecting some better performances from them in this match. It was also surprising to see a veteran defender like Vishal Bhardwaj end up with just one point in the entire match. Puneri Paltan has looked slow and very rusty, perhaps more so than any other team in PKL 2021-22, and will need to change things up very quickly.

Telugu Titans

Siddharth Desai was kept quiet for large parts of the first match but he still ended up with 11 points in that match. It was not a performance that he will look back at with any great joy and will certainly be hoping for a better result this time around. Desai is one of the most dangerous raiders in PKL history when on song but he seemed a bit slower than before and is certainly easier to defend against. This will highlight the riles of the supporting raiders like Rajnish and Rakesh Gowda.

Ruturaj Koravi, Surinder Singh, and Sandeep Kandola form a strong defensive unit. We can see how this lineup being quite competitive against most of the raiding units it comes up against.

Key stat

Siddharth Desai started with another Super 10 in the first match but the Telugu Titans had an overall raid success rate of just 39%, lesser than its opponents in the match. Puneri Paltan started PKL 2021-22 with the second least points scored in a match. Not the most convincing performances from either team then.

Verdict

We are going to bet on the Telugu Titans to win this match. Siddharth Desai looked a bit slow but he is still a huge presence on the mat. We also think the defensive unit of the Telugu Titans is a bit better than Puneri Paltan.

Bet on the Telugu Titans to win.
