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

Patna Pirates will look to continue their winning momentum against U Mumba in PKL 12.

Two former champions will clash in the final day of the Vizag leg of Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 (PKL 12). Three-time winners Patna Pirates will face season two champions U Mumba.

Both teams had contrasting starts to the season. Mumba lost only one of their first four games. On the other hand, Patna won only one of their first four matches.

But in sport, it is about who performs on the day, and both teams would want to grab two points before moving to Jaipur. U Mumba have been in red-hot form and will be a big threat to the Pirates.

After struggling for three games, the Pirates finally managed to register a win, thanks to Ayan Lohchab’s dominating performance. It will be an interesting game before moving to Jaipur.

Players to watch out for

U Mumba – Parvesh Bhainswal

While hunting in pairs might be the habit of Carnivores, Kabaddi players also do it on the mat. One such pair is the cousin duo of Sunil Kumar and Parvesh Bhainswal. While Sunil gets the spotlight, Parvesh’s contribution goes unnoticed. He would be eager to do the same against the Pirates.

Patna Pirates – Deepak Singh

Patna Pirates are known for bringing the best out of players, and Deepak showed his best last season when he first wore the Pirates jersey in his PKL career. He was instrumental in the Pirates reaching the finals.

The right cover defender also had memorable battles with Ajit Chouhan and Amirmohammad Zafardanesh last year. The game promises to be the next chapter of the rivalry.

Possible starting 7

U Mumba –  Lokesh Ghosaliya, Rohit Raghav, Parvesh Bhainswal, Ajit Chouhan, Sunil Kumar, Aanil Mohan, Rinku Sharma.

Patna Pirates – Milan Dahiya, Ayan Lohchab, Sudhakar M, Deepak Singh, Sanket Sawant, Navdeep, Ankit Jaglan.

Match Prediction

U Mumba have been in clinical form in the Visakhapatnam leg and would want to end it on a high. But they will be wary of Patna, who surprised an in-form Puneri Paltan squad. U Mumba are the favourites to win the clash.
