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

Dabang Delhi will look to get back to winning ways in PKL 12 against Tamil Thalaivas.
Dabang Delhi have been the most dominant side in Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 (PKL 12), but they lost their opening home game. They have lost two of their last three matches and will look to make amends when they take on struggling Tamil Thalaivas on Friday.
Tamil Thalaivas have had a topsy-turvy season. The Sanjeev Baliyan-coached side would want to get their act right in the final few games as they aim to finish in the top eight. They have only two matches left, and winning both is crucial if they want to secure a place in the play-ins.
A huge game awaits in the context of the points table, and the Thalaivas would expect their star players, Arjun Deshwal and Sagar Rathee, to help them move ahead in the points table.

Players to watch out for
Tamil Thalaivas – Sagar Rathee
Tamil Thalaivas have qualified for the playoffs only once in season nine, and it was under the steadfast leadership of Sagar Rathee. Injuries have kept him out of most games.
He scored a brilliant High-five against the Gujarat Giants. Although he couldn’t take his team to victory, fans would be happy to see him on the mat, and he would want to win the game.
Dabang Delhi – Ajinkya Pawar
Ajinkya Pawar made a big name for himself in PKL, playing for Tamil Thalaivas. He was a pioneer in taking them to the playoffs, and he was released over Narender Kandola last season.
He would want to make a statement, and his form will give him the confidence to do well. His battle against his former skipper, Sagar Rathee, will be one to watch out for.
