UP Yoddhas vs Patna Pirates: Who will win today's PKL Match No. 29?

An all-North Indian clash awaits us as the most successful team in Pro Kabaddi League's (PKL) history, Patna Pirates, take on UP Yoddhas in match number 29 of the PKL Season 11. The game will be played at the GMCB Indoor Stadium, Gachibowli, Hyderabad.

Patna Pirates had a poor start to Season 11, with the three-time PKL champions losing their first contest by 40-25 to defending champions Puneri Paltan. On the other end, their rivals UP Yoddhas started their season with a bang, beating Dabang Delhi K.C. by 28-23.

Patna Pirates, since their opening-day defeat, have seen their fortunes swing like a pendulum. They won their next fixture against Tamil Thalaivas by 42-40 and then lost to Telugu Titans by 28-26.

Their fortunes took a turn as they beat Dabang Delhi K.C. by 44-30 in their most recent match to secure their second win of the competition, which has them seated ninth on the points table with -1 points difference and 11 points to their name.

UP Yoddhas seem to be a side that started on full throttle but now seem to be losing pace. After the opening-game win over Dabang Delhi KC, they thumped Bengaluru Bulls by 57-36. Bengal Warriorz handed them their first loss of the season but that doesn't seem to have hurt them, with the Yoddhas winning their immediate next game against Gujarat Giants.

However, things aren't all hunky dory and have started to get a bit tough for them with their most recent loss against Haryana Steelers. A win in this contest will help them boost their points difference of 27 and push them from the third spot to higher up on the table.
