Tamil Thalaivas vs Patna Pirates Match Prediction
Despite three consecutive losses, three-time champion Patna Pirates will start the game as slight favourites. Sachin Tanwar has been a consistent performer for the team so far, but he needs more support from their defensive unit in upcoming matches.
Tamil Thalaivas, on the other hand, have failed to play as a combined unit so far. Narender Hoshiyar has been in charge of the raiding unit, but he needs Ajinkya Pawar and the other raiders to step up as the team gears up for their first home game of the season.
Prediction: Patna Pirates to win the match.
