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

Telugu Titans will look to continue their winning momentum in PKL 12 against Patna Pirates.

It’s the second day of the Chennai leg of Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 (PKL 12), and it will be a battle of old foes as three-time champions Patna Pirates take on Telugu Titans, the only team from the original eight franchises that are yet to win the PKL title.

Telugu Titans seemed to have cracked a reliable winning combination. They might not be the strongest side on paper, but they could get the job done with strategies and senior players stepping up.

On the other hand, the Patna Pirates have had a disappointing season, languishing at the bottom of the standings. Both teams would want to start their Chennai campaign with a win.

Players to watch out for

Telugu Titans – Ajit Pawar

Telugu Titans survived a scare as Gujarat Giants came close to winning the last game out of nowhere. It was Mohammadreza Shadloui who came in as a raider and exposed the weakness in the Titans’ defense.

Ajit Pawar’s performance has dropped in the last two games. He will be key in stopping Patna’s strong raiding unit.

Patna Pirates – Maninder Singh

Maninder Singh made the highly anticipated return to the mat against his former team, Bengal Warriorz. Although he was impressive with his Super 10, the team couldn’t win the game.

He will be rejuvenated with his performance and will be a huge threat to the Telugu Titans. It will be interesting to see what tactics Krishna Kumar Hooda adopts against the legend.

Possible starting 7

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

Patna Pirates – Ankit Rana, Ayan Lohchab, Maninder Singh, Deepak Singh, Sanket Sawant, Navdeep, Ankit Jaglan.

Match Prediction

Patna might have the edge in head-to-head records, but the Titans are in fine form. They have registered two consecutive wins as they are playing as a unit. In this case, Titans are the favourites to win this contest.
