The Gujarat Giants (GUJ) and the Jaipur Pink Panthers (JAI) face off in the 103rd match of PKL 11 on Tuesday, December 10, at the Balewadi Sports Complex in Pune.
The Giants' chances of making the playoffs are incredibly low, but they could prove to be a thorn in other teams' quests as they did to U Mumba in their previous outing. Coach Ram Mehar Singh would've been proud of the resilience and calm head they showed in their 34-33 win over their Western rivals, and they'll want that to continue against Jaipur.
Meanwhile, Arjun Deshwal and co. are in desperate need of a string of wins after losing by a 10-point margin to the Patna Pirates, leaving them stranded in 8th position, although a win tonight should take them back to the top six.

GUJ vs JAI Dream11 Team Prediction Top Picks, Pro Kabaddi 2024, Match 103
Raider - Arjun Deshwal/ Guman Singh
Arjun Deshwal is the best Dream11 raider pick tonight and is a must-have, given the clear lack of other options. However, Guman Singh is equally important, and with him being his team's talisman, he is also an essential Dream11 pick alongside Arjun.
Defender - Ankush
Ankush is one of the most consistent and reliable Dream11 picks in the game and has constantly made the DreamTeam for plenty of matches now. The Jaipur left corner is among the top 10 defenders this season, scoring 46 tackle points. He's another Dream11 must-have and could well end up being one of the highest point-scorers tonight.
All-Rounder - Reza Mirbagheri
Reza Mirbagheri is the clear standout Dream11 option in the all-rounder category. The Iranian left cover has been impressive once again in PKL 11, aggregating eight raid points and 43 tackle points in 17 appearances, both terrific numbers for a left cover defender.
He scored four tackle points in the reverse fixture and should have a solid outing tonight.

Jaipur are clearly the better team on paper and have way more to play for in this fixture, making them the side to back on Dream11. However, the Giants are playing with lots of freedom and are finding success with that approach, as evidenced by their win over U Mumba.
Arjun Deshwal, Ankush and Reza Mirbagheri are solid Dream11 options and the best captaincy picks, with Guman Singh also a decent differential. If he makes it to the starting 7, Gujarat's left corner Rohit could be a stellar differential option.
