MUM vs TAM Dream11 prediction: Today's match predicted playing 7s for U Mumba vs Tamil Thalaivas Pro Kabaddi 2024, Match 106
U Mumba (MUM) and the Tamil Thalaivas (TAM) face off in the 106th match of PKL 11 on Wednesday, December 11, at the Balewadi Sports Complex in Pune.
Despite a troubled campaign, the Thalaivas come into this fixture with the wind behind their sails as they registered a comfortable 40-27 win over the Gujarat Giants in their last outing, also getting a five-day rest between the two matches. While their chances are minimal, they will look to get an outside chance at sneaking into the playoffs.
Meanwhile, one of the favorites to finish in the top half of the table, U Mumba received a minor setback as they lost to the same Gujarat Giants side, going down 33-34 in a thriller. It was exactly the kind of match that U Mumba ended up winning for most of this season, but two days ago in Pune, they couldn't quite keep their cool and see it through to get a better result.
Nevertheless, a win tonight will take them up to second on the points table, and that's what they'll be targeting.

MUM vs TAM Dream11 Team Prediction Top Picks, Pro Kabaddi 2024, Match 106
Raider - Ajit Chauhan
Ajit Chauhan is undoubtedly the best Dream11 raider for this one, with the U Mumba left raider in terrific form. He has scored a whopping 144 raid points in 17 appearances and is heads and shoulders above any option from the Thalaivas in this category.
He's definitely a Dream11 must-have.
Defender - Rinku
Rinku could have a productive outing against an increasingly left-raiding Tamil Thalaivas' side. With Moein Shafaghi as their lead raiders and options such as Chandran Ranjit on the bench, U Mumba's right corner Rinku could have a productive evening and add to his 38 tackle points for the season.
All-Rounder - Moein Shafaghi
There is absolutely no fixture where we have these many outstanding Dream11 options in one category. Nitesh Kumar, Sombir, Amirmohammad Zafardanesh, Aashish, and even Himanshu are worthwhile options for this fixture, but it's the ever-consistent raiding all-rounder Moein Shafaghi who's a must-have in my view.
Scoring 61 raid points and nine tackle points in 10 appearances, he has been super-consistent and is a reliable Dream11 option and a differential captaincy choice.

MUM vs TAM Expert Tips for Pro Kabaddi 2024
While U Mumba have more at stake and are a more settled team on paper going into this one, they'll be well aware of the danger the Thalaivas pose, and that they shouldn't be taken lightly. My Dream11 selections reflect the same, with a careful balance between both teams, albeit with U Mumba having the edge over the Thalaivas.
Nitesh Kumar is actually not a must-have, if the Thalaivas' play the same way they did against the Giants, where Ashish, the left cover, predominantly played in the corner, with utility players like Himanshu solid options as well.
Captaincy-wise, Ajit Chauhan, Rinku, Sombir, Nitesh Kumar, and Moein Shafaghi are the prospective candidates.
