Vivo Pro Kabaddi League season nine caravan is ongoing in Hyderabad city. Tonight in the first match, Puneri Paltan will play against Patna Pirates. The Puneri Paltan has already qualified for the eliminators yet they have been working hard in their remaining round-robin league matches. They had to work overtime in order to beat Dabang Delhi in their last match.
The Paltan fielded their second ring of raiders who were too hot to handle for Dabang. The Pirates are playing for pride as they do not stand any chance to move into the playoff. They lost their last match to the Gujarat Fortune Giants as they still suffer from the same old issues that they had at the beginning of the season.
All-rounder Rohit Gulia and defenders Mohammedreza and Neerja Kumar worked hard, but that was not enough for their team. The Pirates will play for pride as they take on the dangerous Puneri Paltan. The Pirates need to give the youngsters on the bench a chance to enjoy some mat time.
The Pirates have always dominated the Paltan in the PKL, but this season it has been a contrasting story. The Pirates settled for a TIE in their earlier encounter this season. If we look at their current form, the Pirates don’t seem to have the firepower to beat the Puneri Paltan.
