Pro Kabaddi 2019, Match 124: Bengal Warriors vs Patna Pirates - Predicting each team's playing 7
Three-time champions Patna Pirates have had a disappointing run thus far in Pro Kabaddi 2019 and the Pardeep Narwal-led side will be keen on ending their campaign on a positive note when they square off against the Bengal Warriors in an exciting contest at Greater Noida.
With nothing to lose, the Patna Pirates defeated the Gujarat Fortune Giants in their previous match and they would look to repeat the same performance once again tonight. On the other hand, the Bengal Warriors need only one point to seal their spot in the two positions and hence, they may name a second string starting seven for this match.
The likes of Maninder Singh, Mohammad Nabibakhsh and Baldev Singh could be in line for some well-earned rest before the all important playoffs and thus, the fans can expect the Patna Pirates to dominate the proceedings tonight.
Here are the predicted playing sevens of the two teams -
