PKL 11: Patna Pirates vs Puneri Paltan Predicted 7, team news, head-to-head & free live stream

Earlier in PKL 11, Puneri Paltan defeated Patna Pirates.

Three-time champions Patna Pirates will face Puneri Paltan in match 116 of the Pro Kabaddi 2024 (PKL 11) at the Balewadi Sports Complex in Pune. Entering the last two weeks of the league, games such as these, which include two teams in strong contention for a playoff spot, can heavily influence the points table.

Patna Pirates have 63 points after 18 matches. They won eight games and lost six, with one game ending in a stalemate. With a massive score difference of +90, they are favourites to clinch a top-two spot after the Haryana Steelers. In their previous match, the three-time champions had to battle hard to defeat Tamil Thalaivas 42-38.

On the other hand, Puneri Paltan have earned 54 points in 19 matches. They would need at least two more wins to have a realistic chance of qualifying. The defending champions have played out eight wins, eight losses and three ties. Under new coach Ashok Shinde, they got a much-needed win in their previous match to revive their campaign, handing the Bengaluru Bulls a 56-18 demolition.

Puneri emerged victorious by a big margin of 40-24 when the two sides faced off against each other earlier in the season.

Players to watch out for:

Devank Dalal

No player in the league has grabbed attention the way Devank Dalal has. Not many people would have guessed that he would top the list of most raid points with 233 raid points, way ahead of the second-placed Ashu Malik. He has already secured 14 Super 10s.

Tall, quick, and powerful, Devank has all the qualities of an ideal raider. His battle against a cohesive Puneri Paltan defence is set to be a blockbuster.

Mohit Goyat

Mohit Goyat has been one of Puneri Paltan‘s crucial cogs in the last few seasons. With the dip in his form coinciding with Aslam’s absence, the Paltan have endured a lean run. However, the all-rounder is slowly finding his rhythm back.

In the last three games, Mohit has scored 22 points, contributing in both offense and defense. The Indian international player will need to use his experience, against an in-form Pirates unit.

Predicted Starting 7:

Patna Pirates

Devank Dalal, Ayan, Sudhakar M, Shubham Shinde, Deepak, Arkam Shaikh, Ankit.

Puneri Paltan

Pankaj Mohite, Akash Shinde, Mohit Goyat, Gaurav Khatri, Abhinesh Nadarajan, Sanket Sawant, Aman.
