Team News- U.P Yoddha
The UP Yoddha raiders failed to pick up raid points with the substitutes chipping in when required and Shrikant Jadhav could make his way out for someone like Surender Gill in the side. Rishank Devadiga and Monu Goyat have to step up and gather raid points for the side.
Amit too had a bad night in defense and Narender could make his way back to the side although UP are likely to persist with him. Young Sumit in the left corner did well and he will retain his spot and so will Ashu Singh.
Predicted Starting 7: Nitesh Kumar (C), Rishank Devadiga, Surender Gill, Monu Goyat, Amit, Ashu Singh and Sumit.
Team News- Bengaluru Bulls
Rohit Kumar's 10 raid points were good for the Bulls but the fact that he was their highest tackle points scorer on the night with just 2 to his name shows how poor their defense was. Both the covers blanked while Amit Sheoran picked up 2 points and Saurabh Nandal in the right corner took 1 tackle point. The defense is likely to be given another chance.
On the raiding front, Mohit Sehrawat could make way for Sumit Singh after two lackluster encounters.
Predicted Starting 7: Rohit Kumar(C), Pawan Sehrawat, Ashish Sangwan, Mahender Singh, Amit Sheoran, Sumit Singh, and Saurabh Nandal.
