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

Puneri Paltan will look to maintain their winning momentum in PKL 12 against Tamil Thalaivas.
The Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 (PKL 12) caravan now moves to Delhi from Chennai, and two teams will miss the energy of the Chennai fans. Obviously, the home team, Tamil Thalaivas, will be the first team as they received tremendous support here.
The other team will be Puneri Paltan, who have won four out of the four matches they have played. They got equal support due to the presence of coach Ajay Thakur, who was the first-ever captain of Tamil Thalaivas, and the right cover Abinesh Nadarajan.
These two teams have flown from the south to the capital city of India to kick-start the final leg of the season. It will be a hard-fought game as both teams will look to clinch a win.

Players to watch out for
Puneri Paltan – Aslam Inamdar
Puneri Paltan would be happy to see the return of Aslam Inamdar to the line-up. His all-round skills will be ideal against Arjun Deshwal & Co. Aslam’s presence on the mat lifts the spirits of the team, and it will be interesting to see his strategy against Arjun Deshwal.
Tamil Thalaivas – Aashish
Tamil Thalaivas’ defense performance has been inconsistent this season. One day, they seem like a tough team to beat, and the next, they seem clueless.
The team would expect them to bring in some consistency, and Aashish has shown it in the last few games. He was impressive against the Pirates and would need to back it up against Paltan if they want to win the game.
Possible Starting 7
Puneri Paltan – Gaurav Khatri, Aslam Inamdar, Abinesh Nadarajan, Aditya Shinde, Gurdeep Sangwan, Pankaj Mohite, Vishal Bharadwaj.
