TEAMS PREVIEW

Patna Pirates Preview

Patna Pirates have had a challenging season so far, managing to win only one of their four matches. Their recent 28-26 loss to Telugu Titans was particularly disappointing. Despite holding a three-point lead at halftime, their defense faltered, conceding 10 raid points and two fewer tackle points than the Titans. 

An all-out and an extra point conceded proved to be decisive factors. Devank, with seven raid points, was the Pirates' top raider, while left raider Ayan Jackab impressed with six raid points. Ankit Jaglan continued his strong performance in the right corner position with three tackle points.

The upcoming match against a revamped Delhi side, missing Naveen Kumar but reinforced with new raiders, will be a tough battle. If the Pirates' defense can contain Ashu Malik, they have a chance to secure a win. The corner cover duo of Ankit and Deepak will play a crucial role in this endeavor.

The Pirates are averaging 31 points per game this season, scoring under 30 points in two matches and conceding 36 points per game, including two matches with over 38 points conceded. Devank, with 38 raid points in three matches, is the team's top raider, while Ankit Jaglan, with 13 tackle points, leads the defense.

Patna Pirates Probable Starting 7 - Devank, Sandeep Kumar, Ayan, Gurdeep, Deepak, Ankit Jaglan, Shubham Shinde

Dabang Delhi K.C. Preview

Dabang Delhi KC will be disappointed with their performance in the final five minutes against Bengaluru Bulls. Despite holding an eight-point lead, they were unable to maintain their momentum and lost the game 34-33.

Ashu Malik once again led the team with 13 points (8 touch points and 5 bonus points). He received good support from Vinay Virender, who contributed 6 points (4 raid points, 1 bonus point, and 1 tackle point). On the defensive end, left cover defender Sandeep Deshwal had a significant impact with 4 tackle points. Rinku Narwal, in his first start of the season, finished with two tackle points.

Dabang Delhi KC will face a tough challenge against the resurgent Patna Pirates. For Delhi to win this match, Ashu Malik, Vinay Virender, and Aashish need to perform well in the raiding department, while the two cover defenders will need to be strong on defense.

This season, Dabang Delhi has averaged 33.4 points per game, including four games with 30+ points. They have conceded 32.6 points per game. Their raiding unit averages 20.2 points, and the defense averages 8.4 tackle points. Ashu Malik, with 54 raid points, is the league's top raider.

PATP vs DDKC
Winning Prediction

Dabang Delhi KC, despite their recent hiccup, are primed to bounce back against Patna Pirates. Their star raider, Ashu Malik, has been in exceptional form and will be crucial in breaking the Pirates' defense. The Delhi defense, particularly Sandeep Deshwal, has been solid and can stifle the Pirates' raiding unit. 

While Patna Pirates have shown improvement, Delhi's experience and firepower should give them the edge. Expect a close contest, but Delhi's ability to finish strong could be the difference-maker.
