Match Analysis

Patna Pirates

The Patna Pirates were not their fluent selves in the previous match that they played. Their defense kept making unforced errors and gifting free points to the Pink Panthers while their raiding strategy also seemed to be a bit off. Sachin, their backup raider was not given enough time on the mat even when he was making an impact in the few opportunities that he got. Still, there is no doubting the quality in the Patna Pirates lineup and sometimes one bad match is enough to help bring the fight back into the team. They have three quality raiders and a defense that has is right at the top of most stat categories. It is going to be tested against the Bengaluru Bulls but it does have the quality to beat any team in this league.

Bengaluru Bulls

The Bengaluru Bulls are going to be full of confidence after cementing their hold on the top spot. They have won four out of their previous five matches and the only misstep came against UP Yoddha. That was a team whose defense was on the top of its game and was able to neutralize Pawan Kumar Sehrawat to a large extent. Sehrawat has been on an absolute tear lately and is demolishing teams on his own. He scored 19 points against the Gujarat Giants and was also well supported by Bharat who ended with nine points. Saurabh Nandal has been the lynchpin of the Bengaluru Bulls defense but this is one area where the Bengaluru Bulls can be tested.

Key stat

No team has inflicted more all-outs than the Bengaluru Bulls with 18 to their name in PKL 2021-22. The Patna Pirates have an astonishing 13 Super Tackles to their name so far and that just shows how resilient its defense is even it is down in numbers.

Verdict

We are going for a slight upset in this match and backing the Patna Pirates to win. We think they have the defensive capabilities to keep Pawan Kumar Sehrawat in check. The Pirates also have the raiding depth to test and expose a few faults in the Bengaluru Bulls' defense.

Bet on the Patna Pirates to win.
