PAT vs DEL Dream11 prediction: Today's match predicted playing 7s for Patna Pirates vs Dabang Delhi KC Pro Kabaddi 2023, Match 56
The Patna Pirates (PAT) face off against Dabang Delhi KC (DEL) in the first match of the Mumbai leg of PKL 10 on Friday, January 5, at The Dome by NSCI.
This is a battle between two sides placed very closely on the points table. Dabang Delhi have three wins and one tie in their last four outings, and despite losing Naveen Kumar to an injury, they've managed to hold their own.
They're placed fourth on the points table, and beat the Gujarat Giants 35-28 in their last match, riding on a Super 10 from Ashu Malik and a nine-point haul from Manjeet.
The Pirates have played some high-octane kabaddi that seems to be working more often than not, and they find themselves in fifth place, with five wins in their nine matches so far.
They're on a two-match winning streak, with the most recent one coming against the UP Yoddhas. Sachin Tanwar's 15-point haul and Neeraj Kumar's High 5 led them to a 48-41 win.

PAT vs DEL Dream11 Team Prediction Top Picks, Pro Kabaddi 2023, Match 56
Raider - Sachin Tanwar
Sachin Tanwar has been one of the best raiders of the season yet again, and while his partners Manjeet and Sudhakar have blown hot and cold throughout the season, Sachin has been an embodiment of consistency and should be a sureshot pick in all D11 teams.
Defender - Ashish
Dabang Delhi KC left corner Ashish took quickly to the left corner slot which was initially Vishal Bhardwaj's. With 22 tackle points in eight matches and with a tackle success rate of more than 50%, he's a bankable and highly owned defender.
All-Rounder - Ashu Malik
Ashu Malik is easily the best all-rounder pick ahead of the Pirates' left corner Ankit, with the stand-in Delhi captain also their lead raider. He also chips in with some useful tackle points from time to time.

While the Pirates will have an edge over Delhi, this should be a competitive game, and the likes of Ashu, Sachin, Ashish, and Krishan should continue their good run.
