DEL vs PAT Dream11 prediction: Today's match predicted playing 7s for Dabang Delhi KC vs Patna Pirates Pro Kabaddi 2024, Semi-Final 2

Dabang Delhi KC (DEL) take on the Patna Pirates (PAT) in the second semi-final of Pro Kabaddi 2024 on Friday, December 27, at the Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex in Pune.

Delhi just about edged out the Pirates towards the final games of the league stage to finish second on the points table, earning direct qualification to the semi-finals. Led by the ever-consistent Ashu Malik and a fairly robust defensive unit spearheaded by right corner Yogesh, they're an in-form side that's definitely capable of lifting the PKL title.

However, they'll be wary of this youthful Patna Pirates team that they've failed to beat in PKL 11. Coach Narender Redhu's team comes into this match after a professional and calm display saw them overcome a U Mumba challenge in the Eliminator. With Ayan Lohchab also returning to form, it's going to be a real challenge for the Delhi defense to cope with the Devank-Ayan duo.

DEL vs PAT Dream11 Team Prediction Top Picks, Pro Kabaddi 2024, Match 136, Semi-Final 2

Raider - Devank/ Ashu Malik

There's very little to separate these two top Dream11 raiders, who're also the best captaincy options on paper, going into this match. Devank refuses to slow down and should become the first raider to cross the 300 raid point-mark this season, while Ashu has accumulated more than 250 raid points himself.

Ayan and Naveen Kumar are also more than capable Dream11 options, but there's room for only one of them in teams, and that selection could prove to be pivotal.

---

Defender - Yogesh

Yogesh is the bedrock of the Dabang Delhi defense, and the right corner has been uber-consistent throughout their campaign, hardly having a bad game. With 71 tackle points in 21 matches, he has been one of the best defenders in the league. Expect him to rack up the points tonight as well, especially as he's likely to go up against two left raiders in Sudhakar M and Ayan.

---

All-Rounder - Ankit

Patna Pirates' captain and left corner Ankit has had a campaign similar to Yogesh has for Delhi. With 73 tackle points to his name, he'll be key to Patna's fortunes tonight as he'll have to keep Ashu Malik and Naveen Kumar's point-scoring in check.

Ashish Malik, Dabang Delhi KC's left corner, also classified as an all-rounder, is also a potential Dream11 all-round option.

DEL vs PAT Expert Tips for Pro Kabaddi 2024

This is one of the hardest matches to select a Dream11 team for because of the really competitive pricing that makes Dream11 players make some tough decisions and choose between really good players who could punish them heavily if they make the wrong choice.

Ashu Malik, Devank, Ankit, and Yogesh are must-haves, but it's hard to select the rest without opting to select enablers like Patna's Hamid Nader and Navdeep, although it remains to be seen if they stay in the starting 7 for this one.
