Today's PKL Match Prediction
U Mumba won their previous game against Tamil Thalaivas. Abhishek and Ajith Kumar performed well for them once again. Their defence has put up a decent show, but will have to fare better against a raging Patna Pirates side. Moreover, Patna's defence has been rock-solid, led by Chiyaneh, who could pose the biggest threat to U Mumba's raiders.
The Patna Pirates seem unstoppable at the moment. They are getting better game after game, and have put up complete Pro Kabaddi team performances. The likes of Sachin, Prashanth and Guman Singh continue to do well in tandem with the raiding department.
Chiyaneh has been the star in defence, and it could be difficult for the raiders to put him past the ball. Patna are the favourites to continue their winning run.
Prediction: Patna Pirates to beat U Mumba in this contest.
