1. Patna vs Bengal a Look Ahead
The 2-time defending champions are the surefire favourites coming into Thursday's match. The Bengal Warriors were reeling from their loss to the Fortunegiants but will be hoping to pull off an upset against the Pirates. Warriors captain Surjeet Singh is the best cover defender and the second-best overall defender this season and will be assisted by Ran Singh who needs to come out of his recent slump in form. The raiding department is at its finest led by the effervescent Maninder Singh, who is in the form of his life. Supporting him are Jang Kun Lee and Deepak Narwal, both of whom can inflict serious damage.
The defending champions have star raider Pardeep Narwal as a crucial armament in their arsenal. During the match against Pune, Patna was ahead in the raid point and the all out points, but Pune made up in the tackle points. So this is something that the Pirates need to watch out for.
