Patna Pirates will look to maintain their winning momentum in PKL 12 against Dabang Delhi.

Only one spot is left in the top 8 qualification race of the Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 (PKL 12), and teams are giving their all to secure a place in the knockouts. On Wednesday, in Match 105, the home team Dabang Delhi will take on the three-time champions Patna Pirates.

Dabang Delhi have already confirmed their place in the top 2 and will directly feature in Qualifier 1, while the Pirates, despite not having the kind of season they had hoped for, are still fighting hard to keep their playoff hopes alive.

Players to watch out for

Dabang Delhi – Fazel Atrachali

Fazel Atrachali has done a tremendous job as the captain of Dabang Delhi in Ashu Malik’s absence. He has been their best defender this season, scoring 49 tackle points in 17 games. Once again, he has shown the Kabaddi world that he remains one of the top defenders.

Fazel has registered four High 5s this season, and his performance will be crucial in stopping the Patna Pirates’ raiders, especially Ayan Lohchab.

Patna Pirates – Ankit Jaglan

The captain of Patna Pirates, Ankit Jaglan, hasn’t had the kind of season he would have hoped for. The Pirates bring him back in the auction by spending a significant amount, but his performances haven’t fully matched the expectations.

However, he has still been their best defender this season, scoring 40 tackle points in 16 games. Jaglan was the key reason behind the Pirates’ victory against Delhi in their previous encounter, where he registered a High 5 and pulled off a crucial tackle in the final raid to seal the win. The Pirates will once again rely on his performance as they look to keep their playoff hopes alive.

Possible Starting 7

Dabang Delhi – Fazel Atrachali, Ajinkya Pawar, Saurabh Nandal, Naveen, Surjeet Singh, Neeraj Narwal, Sandeep.

Patna Pirates – Mandeep Kumar, Ayan Lohchab, Ankit Rana, Deepak Singh, Balaji D, Navdeep, Ankit Jaglan.

Match Prediction

The Patna Pirates will fancy their chances, having won the last encounter between the two teams. There is also a possibility that Dabang Delhi might not start with their best seven, opting instead to test their bench strength and give some rest to their main players.
