TEAMS PREVIEW

Telugu Titans Preview

The Telugu Titans crossed the first hurdle ahead of them in their last match when they defeated the Bengaluru Bulls 37-32 in the mini qualifier. It was a tight contest that went down the wire, but the Titans held their nerve. Bharat Hooda was the top performer with 12 raid points, while their skipper Vijay Malik also stepped up with a Super 10, in which he got 8 bonus points.

Bharat Hooda is the Titans' go-to match winner in raiding, having scored 184 raid points in 19 matches. He can single-handedly turn the momentum of the game with his raiding, but he has been caught off guard on the defensive end.

Their skipper, Vijay Malik, has also been good throughout, scoring 152 raid points in 19 matches. After three low scores, Malik bounced back with a Super 10 against the Bulls. The Titans averaged 20.56 raid points per game in the league stages, the fourth best by a team.

On the defensive end, the Titans have improved their tackle efficiency as the season has progressed. They are expected to continue the same trend, and the Titans are averaging 11 tackle points per game this season. The Titans' corner defenders will be key in this fixture to stop the Pirates' raiding unit.

Patna Pirates Preview

The Patna Pirates continue to take down any opponent they come up against, and the latest victim to their rampage is the Bengaluru Bulls, where the Pirates won the match 46-37. Ayan Lohchab led the way with 19 raid points, while Ankit and Milan combined for a total of 9 raid points. On the defensive end, Deepak and Navdeep scored High 5's.

Ayan Lohchab has played a huge role in the Pirates' comeback with his impeccable raiding, scoring 294 raid points in 21 matches. The Pirates are currently averaging 23 raid points per game, the second-most by a team this season. In the last match, their raiders scored 24 raid points against the Panthers' solid defensive unit.

The Pirates' defense, which had been lackluster throughout the season, woke up at the right time to deliver a thumping to the opponents' raiders. All credit goes to their right corner, Navdeep, who is in sublime tackling form; he is the lead defender for the Pirates this season with 68 tackle points in 19 matches, while their skipper Ankit Jaglan has also picked up 51 tackle points.

Winning Prediction

The Patna Pirates enter this contest as the slight favourites entering this contest and are currently on an eight match unbeaten run.
