The Gujarat Giants and U Mumba will meet in the 12th match of Pro Kabaddi 2024 on Wednesday, October 23. The Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad will host the game.
The Giants got their campaign off to a winning start, beating the Bengaluru Bulls 36-32 in a decent performance with a few shaky moments. Their defense looks concerning this season, with the left corner and left cover positions not having the best players to fill them. Sombir led the defense well against the Bulls, scoring a High 5.
U Mumba started their PKL 11 season with a disappointing 36-28 defeat at the hands of Dabang Delhi KC. They shot themselves in the foot, squandering several opportunities to secure an all-out and take control of the game, and against a strong team like Delhi, they were made to pay.
Amirmohammad Zafardanesh had a solid game despite a few errors in Super Tackle situations, scoring a Super 10. NYP Ajit Chavan was brilliant, scoring a Super 10, but star signing Manjeet cut a frustrated figure as he couldn't score a single point.
They were also poor defensively, registering only seven tackle points in the match, and they'll have to work on that going into this one.

GUJ vs MUM Dream11 Team Prediction Top Picks, Pro Kabaddi 2024, Match 12
Raider - Guman Singh
Guman Singh will be one to watch out for in this match as he takes on his former side U Mumba. He couldn't make much of an impression on a Dream11 front in the Giants' first match, but his tally of six raid points wasn't bad. He could certainly improve on that and deliver a solid performance in this match,
Defender - Rinku
U Mumba right corner Rinku is arguably one of the only reliable Dream11 defenders in this match. Considering the obvious holes in the defensive units of both teams, a consistent right corner like Rinku is a rarity, and he's the standout pick among the defenders. He'll look to add to his three tackle points from the first match.
All-Rounder - Amirmohammad Zafardanesh
Amirmohammad Zafardanesh was one of U Mumba's best players last season before injuries plagued him, and he's shown signs of being their go-to player this season. Zafardanesh scored nine raid points and two tackle points in U Mumba's defeat to Dabang Delhi and is well set to haul big in this match. He's easily the best Dream11 all-rounder and is a great captaincy pick.

GUJ vs MUM Expert Tips for Pro Kabaddi 2024
This battle between two strong raiding units should make for an interesting match and Dream11 selection. Rinku, Neeraj Kumar, and Sombir seem to be the only reliable defensive picks, with Sunil Kumar's form highly patchy.
The raiders are the better bets, with Parteek Dahiya a solid Dream11 pick alongside must-have Amirmohammad Zafardanesh. The highly impressive youngster Ajit Chavan is also a great pick at 12.5 Credits. For some reason, U Mumba left corner Sombir is classified as a raider, and while he had a disappointing outing in the first match, he could be a useful differential.
Zafardanesh, Rinku, and Guman Singh, or Parteek Dahiya are the best Dream11 captaincy picks.
