Match Analysis

Telugu Titans

A tie against the strong Bengaluru Bulls in the previous match will certainly raise some hopes in the Telugu Titans camp ahead of this match. The team managed to stay in that match thanks to its defense and that is a very encouraging sign since Siddharth Desai was missing from action. If he can return, then the Titans could end up being a much more difficult team to beat. The performances of Sandeep Kandoloa and Adarsh T were fantastic. Akit Beniwal also played the role of lead raider quite bravely and picked up a Super=10. Rohit Kumar, though, continued his poor form and we don't see him keeping his place in the lineup once Siddharth Desai returns.

The Titans are showing some positive signs but they are up against an in-form Patna Pirates team that could be very hard to stop. We just don't think the Titans have the firepower needed to win without Siddharth Desai on the mat.

Patna Pirates

The Patna Pirates have found an excellent raiding pair in Monu Goyat and Sachin. Both of them wreaked havoc on the mat against the Bengal Warriors and we are expecting more of the same in this match. While Monu Goyat has the experience and the skill, Sachin has sheer power and reach on his side. Neeraj Kumar and Mohammadreza have also displayed excellent organization in the defense and ensured that the raiders get adequate support.

We really like the balance of the Patna Pirates lineup at the moment and can see them being one of the title contenders near the end of the PKL 2021-22 season.

Key stat

The Patna Pirates have 47 successful tackles in PKL 2021-22 so far ( the third most) while the Telugu Titans have just 37 ( the second least).

Verdict

We are going to bet on the Patna Pirates to win this match. They have been in better form and have a far better-balanced lineup. Of course, the one big unknown here is the fitness of Siddharth Desai. Make sure you check his availability for this match when the lineups are announced. For the time being, though, we think the Patna Pirates have enough quality to continue their strong run with another win.

Bet on the Patna Pirates to win.
