Tamil Thalaivas vs Telugu Titans, Pro Kabaddi (PKL), Today Match Prediction

tamt vs telt Match Prediction & Analysis

Tamil Thalaivas lockhorns against Telugu Titans in an all important southern derby in match 38 of Pro Kabbadi League 2024 on Wednesday, 6th November 2024 at Gachibowli Indoor Stadium, Hyderabad. 

Tamil Thalaivas suffered a disappointing 36-32 loss to an out-of-form Bengaluru Bulls in their last match, a setback that could hurt their chances in the later stages of the tournament. Meanwhile, the home team, Telugu Titans, are on a two-match winning streak, their latest victory being a 35-38 win over the same Bengaluru Bulls.

Despite their recent loss, Thalaivas are in a comfortable position, sitting 2nd on the points table with 20 points from six matches. On the other hand, Telugu Titans, who have been impressive this season, are tied on points with Haryana Steelers and Patna Pirates with 16 points each, currently occupying the 9th position.

This match could be a momentum shifter for both teams. A win for the Titans would extend their winning streak to three matches, while a loss for Thalaivas would put them on a two-match losing streak.

The head-to-head record favors Tamil Thalaivas, who have edged past the Titans 9-5, with one match ending in a tie out of the 15 matches played. Thalaivas are currently on a seven-match unbeaten streak (6 wins and 1 tie), and when the two teams clashed earlier in the season, Thalaivas won comfortably by 15 points (29-44).

TEAMS PREVIEW

Tamil Thalaivas Preview

Tamil Thalaivas are reeling from a heartbreaking 36-32 loss to the Bengaluru Bulls. Despite leading for most of the game, defensive and raiding errors cost them the match. The Thalaivas trailed by one point in the first half, where their raiders managed only three raid points. While their raiders improved in the second half, it was too little too late.

Narender Khandola, with 6 points (1 raid touch, 4 bonus points, and 1 tackle point), struggled to get touch points and often fell victim to the Bulls' defenders. Sachin Tanwar, in particular, had a disappointing outing, succeeding in only four out of 20 raids. On the defensive end, Amir Hossein and Sahil Gulia led the way with four tackle points each, while Anuj Gawade impressed with three tackle points in the cover position.

Thalaivas have been inconsistent with their raiding in recent games, but they will fancy their chances against the relatively weaker defensive unit of the Telugu Titans. The right side of the Titans' defense, in particular, is vulnerable, which could provide opportunities for Sachin Tanwar to attack and score points.

Tamil Thalaivas Probable Starting 7 - Narender Khandola, Sachin Tanwar, Anuj Gawade, Sahil Gulia, M Abhishek, Amir hossein Bastami, Nitesh Kumar

Telugu Titans Preview

The Telugu Titans, after an abysmal three-game losing streak, have performed exceedingly well. However, they've been plagued by errors in the final five minutes of games, a recurring issue from last season. This almost cost them the game against the Bengaluru Bulls, but they managed to hold their nerve this time around.

Despite leading the Bulls 19-3 in the first ten minutes and 23-12 at halftime, the Titans' reckless defensive play allowed the Bulls to stage a comeback, outscoring them 23-15. Captain Pawan Sherawat, with his calm demeanor, ensured the Titans didn't squander their lead.

Pawan Sherawat was the top performer, scoring 13 points (9 raid touch points and 4 bonus points) and adding a tackle point. Ashish Narwal provided solid support with 6 raid points, while Vijay Malik stepped up in the final minutes with five points. The difference-maker was cover defender Ajit Pawar, who registered a high five and was consistently solid throughout the night.

This season, the Titans have averaged 31.83 points per game and conceded 37.83 points per game. They boast the top-ranked raiding unit, averaging 21 raid points per game, but their defense is ranked 11th, averaging just 8.17 tackle points per game.

Telugu Titans Probable Starting 7 - Pawan Sherawat, Ashish Narwal, Vijay Malik, Sagar, Krishan Dhull, Ankit, Ajit Pawar
