PKL 12 Qualifier 2: Puneri Paltan vs Telugu Titans prediction, possible starting 7, head-to-head & free live stream

Puneri Paltan will face Telugu Titans in a do-or-die encounter in Qualifier 2 of PKL 12.

It is the penultimate game in Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 (PKL 12), and a blockbuster contest awaits on Wednesday. Season 10 champions and Table-toppers Puneri Paltan will take on underdog Telugu Titans in the second qualifier at the Thyagaraj Indoor Stadium in Delhi.

Telugu Titans are coming from a wonderful win against an in-form Patna Pirates, who were on an eight-match winning streak. They were clinical on Tuesday to get the better of the three-time champions and will have a tough challenge against Puneri.

The table-toppers suffered a crushing defeat against Dabang Delhi in Qualifier 1 and will look to win this match to reach the final for the third time in four seasons. Titans would also want to make it to their first-ever PKL finals.

It will be a match made in heaven, and a winner will have a shot at the title on October 31.

Players to watch out for

Puneri Paltan – Aditya Shinde

Puneri Paltan have made it to the finals in two of the last three seasons, and a win here could make it three. In this season, Aditya Shinde has grown by leaps and bounds.

He will again be the main force, while Aslam Inamdar and Pankaj Mohite will play supporting roles to help Puneri reach another final.

Telugu Titans – Bharat Hooda

Telugu Titans decided to buy Bharat Hooda at 81 lakhs after refusing to retain Pawan Sehrawat. While many raised eyebrows, coach Krishna Kumar Hooda and Bharat have answered them with a whirlwind performance in the third Eliminator against Patna Pirates, scoring 23 points.

He dominated Ankit Jaglan & Co., and if he could dominate the likes of Vishal Bharadwaj and Abinesh Nadarajan, then Titans could make it to the finals.

Possible Starting 7

Puneri Paltan – Gaurav Khatri, Aslam Inamdar, Abinesh Nadarajan, Aditya Shinde, Gurdeep Sangwan, Pankaj Mohite, Vishal Bharadwaj.

Telugu Titans – Shubham Shinde, Vijay Malik, Ankit, Bharat Hooda, Ajit Pawar, Chetan Sahu, Avi Duhan.

Match Prediction

Telugu Titans have won four of their last five matches, including a win against Puneri. On the other hand, Puneri have lost their previous three matches, and their slump began with a defeat against the Titans.

Winning is a good habit, and the Titans have had a taste of it recently, so they will be favourites to win and make it to their first PKL final.
