PAT vs BLR Dream11 Prediction: 3 surprise picks for today's Pro Kabaddi 2024 match - November 30, 2024

The Patna Pirates and the Bengaluru Bulls lock horns in the 85th match of Pro Kabaddi 2024 on Saturday, November 30, at the Noida Indoor Stadium.

The Pirates would think they deserve to be at a higher position on the points table, but some poor game management has cost them their last couple of games. They're still placed seventh on the points table, with a win likely to take them up to third, and they'll back themselves to procure such a result against the Bulls.

The Bengaluru Bulls have had a dismal season, and they're likely to start playing for pride henceforth. Their last outing against U Mumba saw them lose narrowly 32-34, and that shows that they do have what it takes to take the game to the big sides.

This could be an interesting clash, and let's now look at the top three Dream11 surprise picks for this one.

#3 Sushil (RAI) (BLR)

Sushil could be an interesting Dream11 differential for your teams in this fixture. The left raider was the Bulls' best performer against a strong U Mumba defense, scoring eight raid points, albeit in a losing cause. He has made only seven appearances this season, most of which have come off the bench.

However, he should get an extended run of starts in upcoming matches, and Sushil could profit in what should be a high-scoring contest. A player who scored 100 raid points for the Bulls last season and a somewhat proven Dream11 asset, Sushil could be a solid surprise pick.

#2 Arulnanthababu (DEF) (BLR)

Bengaluru Bulls' right corner Arulnanthababu has been one of their better performers in recent outings. Starting off as a substitute capable of playing across the defensive line, he took up the under-performing Saurabh Nandal's place in the team, and has racked up 14 tackle points in nine appearances, including a High 5 against U Mumba, coming into this match in good form.

Corner defenders always have a high points ceiling, and going up against a Patna raiding unit that likes to take risks, the opportunity for defenders to add to their tackle points tally always exists. As a result, Arulnanthababu could be an enticing Dream11 differential.

#1 Arkam Shaikh (ALL) (PAT)

Patna Pirates' left cover Arkam Shaikh returned to their starting 7 ahead of their clash against Dabang Delhi KC. While he could score only one tackle point in that fixture, a major Dream11 haul could be waiting for him against the Bengaluru Bulls.

Arkam has been a handy utility option for the Pirates, scoring 14 tackle points in ten appearances, playing primarily in the left cover position. In the reverse fixture against the Bulls, he scored four tackle points, enjoying his opportunity to initiate tackles against their mostly left-raiding unit.

That could repeat once more as these two sides face off tonight, and that makes him an enticing Dream11 differential.
