Players to watch out for

Match Prediction

Puneri Paltan will be the clear favourites for this match. Even though the Pirates lead in the overall head-to-head record and also won the last encounter, the Paltan have displayed a brilliant brand of Kabaddi this season.

On the other hand, the Pirates have struggled for consistency. The Pirates rely heavily on Ayan, whereas the Paltan function more as a unit, making them a tougher side to beat.
