The Bengaluru Bulls and the Patna Pirates square off in the 64th match of Pro Kabaddi 2024 on Tuesday, November 19, at the Noida Indoor Stadium.
The Bulls put in a terrific shift in their last match against U Mumba on Monday, but some poor tactical decisions towards the end cost them a lot as they ended up losing 37-38.
However, there were plenty of positives in their play, with Pardeep showing good form against a strong U Mumba defense, scoring 10 raid points, while the two covers had a good game as well. Nitin Rawal continued his stellar run, scoring six tackle points again to cap off a brilliant defensive effort.
Meanwhile, the Pirates had a contrasting outing when they last took the field on Friday, comfortably coasting past the Bengal Warriorz with a 52-31 win. Devank and Ayan's excellent run of form continued as both raiders scored Super 10s, with Sandeep Kumar also having a good outing.
In defense, Deepak Singh claimed a High 5, while Ankit, who was named the captain for this match, scored four tackle points.

BLR vs PAT Dream11 Team Prediction Top Picks, Pro Kabaddi 2024, Match 64
Raider - Devank
Devank is simply refusing to slow down his raiding express and has already raced to 115 raid points in only 10 matches. He's showing no signs of stopping anytime soon, and against an inconsistent Bulls' defense barring Nitin Rawal, expect him to haul big for his Dream11 backers.
Defender - Shubham Shinde
Shubham Shinde has had a quiet season for the Pirates since signing from Bengal and lost his captaincy to his partner on the left corner, Ankit ahead of Patna's win against his former side. However, a match against the mostly left-raiding Bulls could allow him to add to his 21 tackle points for the season.
All-Rounder - Nitin Rawal
Nitin Rawal has exceeded expectations with his stellar defending this season and matched Gaurav Khatri for the most tackle points scored this season, picking up 40 points in only 11 matches after recording a High 5 against U Mumba yesterday.
While Ankit, Parteek, and Arkam Shaikh offer alternative options, Nitin Rawal is a Dream11 must-have who's operating on a different level altogether.

Despite their resurgent effort in their last outing, the Pirates are still firm favorites to win this match given their current form. Ayan and Devank are on a roll and are both must-haves along with the ever-consistent Ankit, while Nitin Rawal is the only must from the Bulls.
Arkam Shaikh and Shubham Shinde will be important members in the Patna defense against the left raiders of the Bulls, and could prove to be Dream11 differential picks.
Captaincy-wise, Devank, Ayan, Nitin Rawal, and Ankit are the top picks.
