TEAMS PREVIEW

Patna Pirates Preview

Patna Pirates head into this contest on the back off a 38-27, 11 point win over Puneri Paltan in their last match. Led by Ayan Lohchab 17 raid points and Navdeep, Ankit chipping in with 3 tackle points each. The equation for the Pirates is pretty simple they just need one win in the last two matches and they will be through to the playoffs. 

Despite having a strong raiding unit, where their raiders are averaging 23 raid points per game, led by Ayan Lohchab with 213 raid points in 16 matches and good assistance by Ankit Kumar and Sandeep Kumar, the Pirates have a fast paced raiding trio but they  lack a quality defensive unit. 

The problem for the Pirates has been their defense, who have been highly inefficient right throughout the season and only managed to get in 8 tackle points per game, the least by any team this season and a team tackle success percent of 30.7. 

Jaipur Pink Panthers Preview

The Jaipur Pink Panthers head into this contest on the back of a 37-36, one-point loss against U Mumba in a close contest that went down to the wire. Nitin Kumar Dhanakar was the top scorer with 13 raid points, while Parvinder stepped up with 5 raid points. Deepanshu Khatri (5 tackle points) and Aryan Kumar (4 tackle points) combined for a total of 9 tackle points.

The Pink Panthers have been really solid in raiding in recent matches; with the comeback of Nitin Dhanakar from injury, their raiding averages have gone up from 19 raid points to 22 raid points per game. Overall this season, Nitin Kumar has scored 148 raid points in 14 matches, averaging 10.57 points per game.

On the defensive end, the two new finds of the season, Deepanshu Khatri (36 tackle points) and Aryan Kumar (42 tackle points), have both been solid in the corners. However, the experienced cover defenders haven't been at their best, which has cost the Panthers a couple of close games.
