Today’s PKL Match Prediction
The likes of Guman Singh, Prashanth Kumar Rai, Monu Goyat and Sachin form a solid raiding unit for Patna. Moreover, Chiyaneh has led their defence very well. Patna have had one of the best defensive units this season. So it could be a challenge for Maninder Singh and co to get past the rock-solid Patna defence.
Meanwhile, Bengal Warriors have struggled for consistency this season. They could be low on confidence after back-to-back defeats.
The Warriors have been overly dependent on Maninder Singh. The rest of the team needs to put in solid performances to help their team bounce back into contention. The Pirates will fancy their chances of beating the Warriors.
Prediction: Patna Pirates to beat Bengal Warriors.
