Pro Kabaddi 2024, GUJ vs MUM: Preview, probable starting 7s, prediction, and live-streaming details for Gujarat Giants vs U Mumba

The Gujarat Giants will face U Mumba in the 12th match of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) 2024. This highly anticipated game will take place on October 23 at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium, Hyderabad, where both teams will be looking to strengthen their positions in the early stages of PKL 11.

Gujarat Giants had a strong PKL 10 season, finishing fourth before being eliminated by the Haryana Steelers in the Eliminator. In their opening game of PKL 11, they secured a thrilling 36-32 comeback win against Bengaluru Bulls.

Raiding was a team effort, with Parteek Dahiya and Guman Singh both contributing six raid points each. Himanshu Singh was the standout performer, coming in as a substitute in the 26th minute to score five raid points and two crucial tackle points.

Dahiya also aided the defense with two tackle points, but Sombir was the key defender, securing a High 5 with six tackle points. However, the Giants will need more from their other defenders if they want to maintain their momentum against U Mumba.

Meanwhile, U Mumba had a disappointing run in PKL 10, finishing 10th with only six wins from 22 games. Unfortunately, their start to PKL 11 hasn't been ideal either, as they lost their opener 36-28 to Dabang Delhi KC.

Despite the loss, there were some positives in the raiding department, with Amirmohammad Zafardanesh securing nine raid points and youngster Ajit Chavan registering a Super 10. However, experienced raider Manjeet failed to score even a single point, which hindered their efforts.

The defense, typically U Mumba's strong suit, underperformed, with only Rinku managing three tackle points, while captain Sunil Kumar had a scoreless night. U Mumba will need their defense to step up if they are to bounce back against Gujarat Giants.
