TEAMS PREVIEW

Patna Pirates Preview

Patna Pirates are coming on the back off a 36-28, 8 point win over the UP Yoddhas in their last match. Ayan Lohchab led the charge with 15 raid points, also bringing up his 6th super 10 of the season. Navdeep and Ankit Jaglan combined for a total of 8 tackle points which proved to be decisive in the outcome of the match. 

The Pirates have one of the best raiding trios in Ayan Lohchab (119 raid points), M. Sudhakar (27 raid points), and Maninder Singh (40 raid points). On average, they have scored 22 raid points per game this season, the second most by a team. But they lack consistency; when Ayan scores, the other two fail, which is a huge concern for them heading into the second half of the tournament.

On the defensive end, this hasn't been the best of seasons for the Patna Pirates, where they have struggled to get going and only managed to get in 9 tackle points per game, the least by any team this season. Ankit Jaglan has been the lone bright spot with 28 tackle points in 9 matches.

Tamil Thalaivas Preview

Tamil Thalaivas head into this contest after a close four point, 29-33 loss against the Bengaluru Bulls in their last match. The Thalaivas were leading by one point at half time, but in the second half they conceded one all-out and score five tackle points less than the Bulls which ultimately led to their loss. 

It has been a pretty ordinary performance on the raiding end for the Thalaivas where they are averaging just 18 raid points per game the third least by any team this season. Their skipper Arjun Deshwal is the lone ranger on offense scoring 127 raid points in 12 matches (10.72 raid points per game). 

On the defensive end, the Thalaivas have been top notch scoring 11 tackle points per game, the 2nd best team this season. Nitesh Kumar with 46 tackle points is the number one defender this season, while he has got little support from the rest of the defense. 

PATP vs TAMT
Winning Prediction

It is going to be an even contest between the two bottom placed teams in the season, but if you look at the defense of both the teams the Thalaivas hold a slight advantage and we back them to topple the Patna Pirates and win this match.
