PKL 12: Patna Pirates vs Dabang Delhi prediction, possible starting 7, head-to-head & free live stream

Patna and Delhi were involved in knock-out matches in three of the last four seasons.

It’s the second weekend of the Jaipur leg of Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 (PKL 12) and Saturday awaits one of the oldest rivalry in the league’s history.

Dabang Delhi will face three-time champions Patna Pirates. These two sides have some memorable matches, with none better than the season eight finals, where Delhi won by a point.

Since then, Patna knocked out Delhi in the last two seasons and have the upper hand in the overall matchups. These stats would boost the confidence of the Pirates when they take the mat.

They have been struggling this season with just one win in the six games. On the other hand, Delhi are unbeaten this season and will be a challenge to overcome.

Players to watch out for

Patna Pirates – Ankit Jaglan

Ankit has been one of the most consistent defenders in the last two seasons. The management invested big in him by retaining him for two years, but the defender hasn’t lived up to expectations. The left corner has leaked points.

He would like to perform better against in-form Delhi. He has performed well against Delhi and will try to repeat the same in this match.

Dabang Delhi – Neeraj Narwal

Neeraj Narwal had an impressive outing in the last game against Telugu Titans. More importantly, he stepped up when Ashu Malik was injured and his movements were restricted. The tall Raider might have to play a bigger role in a game or two before Ashu gains full fitness, and the Patna game will be one of them.

Possible Starting 7

Patna Pirates – Milan Dahiya, Ayan Lohchab, Sudhakar M, Deepak Singh, Sanket Sawant, Navdeep, Ankit Jaglan.

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

Match Prediction

Dabang Delhi are in the best form of their lives; they are undefeated so far in Season 12. With the experience they have gained in defense, it will be difficult for Patna’s sole contributor, Ayan Lohchab, to overcome them. Delhi are the favourite in this contest.
