TEAMS PREVIEW

Jaipur Pink Panthers Preview

Jaipur Pink Panthers suffered a narrow defeat to U Mumba, losing 39-37. Arjun Deshwal, usually a reliable raider, had a disappointing night, managing only four raid points (two touch and two bonus). Neeraj Narwal, however, stepped up, scoring 12 points (eight raid touch, two bonus, and two tackle). Ankush Rathee, after a period of subdued performance, showed glimpses of his old form, securing four tackle points with his ankle holds. 

Reza Mirbagheri continued his consistent performance with three points, including two raid points, highlighting the untapped potential of the Pink Panthers' raiding unit. Surjeet Singh and Lucky Sharma contributed two tackle points each. Vikas Kandola, unfortunately, struggled again, scoring only two raid points. Ritik Sharma, a substitute for Arjun Deshwal, made a significant impact in the final five minutes, scoring three raid points. 

Despite a strong defensive unit, the Pink Panthers have faced challenges in their raiding department, with Arjun Deshwal enduring a recent slump, scoring only 14 raid points in the last three matches. However, Neeraj Narwal's impressive performance in the previous game and the imminent return of Abhijeet Malik offer hope for a resurgence in the raiding department. With these two talented raiders, the Pink Panthers are well-equipped to challenge strong defensive teams like the UP Yoddhas.

This season, the Pink Panthers have averaged 36.6 points per game while conceding 32.4 points. Their raiding unit averages 16.4 raid points, and their defense averages 10.25 tackle points per game.

Jaipur Pink Panthers Probable Starting 7 - Arjun Deshwal, Neeraj Narwal, Ankush Rathee, Lucky Sharma, Reza Mirbagheri, Surjeet Singh, Abhijeet Malik

JPP vs UPY
Winning Prediction

The UP Yoddhas, with their formidable raiding unit led by Bharat Hooda and Gagan Gowda, are poised to outshine the Jaipur Pink Panthers. While the Pink Panthers' defense is strong, their inconsistent raiding, especially from Arjun Deshwal, could be their downfall. With Neeraj Narwal and Abhijeet Malik likely to share the raiding duties, the Pink Panthers may struggle to match the Yoddhas' firepower. Expect the Yoddhas to dominate the match and secure a convincing victory.
