The Patna Pirates and Dabang Delhi KC go head-to-head in the 27th match of Pro Kabaddi 2024 on Thursday, October 31, at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad.
The Pirates come into this match on the back of a close 26-28 defeat at the hands of the Telugu Titans, a game which they'll feel they should have won. With one win in three games, they'll be desperate to get back to winning ways in this match.
Meanwhile, Dabang Delhi KC's bright start has faded a bit after they suffered back-to-back defeats. They now have only two wins in five matches, and a close 33-34 defeat to the Bengaluru Bulls would've hurt them a lot.

In what is a rematch of the PKL 8 finals, both these teams will go all-out to secure the win in this one. Let's look at the top three Dream11 surprise picks in this match.
#3 Gurdeep (ALL) (PAT) (13.5 Credits)
Patna Pirates' left cover Gurdeep could be a handy Dream11 surprise pick for this match. He has made a slow start to PKL 11, scoring only three tackle points in as many matches, with the ₹50 lakh price tag likely to slowly weigh on him as the season goes on.
He could score only one tackle point against the Titans in his last outing, but this match could be a different proposition altogether. The Pirates' left cover will be up against many left raiders from Delhi, and once he gets his timing right on one tackle, he could get on a roll.
While his current form is patchy, Gurdeep is a proven performer in the PKL and a quality Dream11 surprise pick.
#2 Ayan Lohchab (RAI) (PAT) (9.5 Credits)
Patna has a host of young raiding talent in their ranks this season, and one of the most promising of the lot is left raider Ayan. The youngster has scored only 11 raid points in three matches, but has shown glimpses of what a prolific point-scorer he can be.
Against a very unsettled Dabang Delhi defense that has seen plenty of shuffling over the last couple of games, Ayan could have a breakout match, much like what Devank had against the Tamil Thalaivas.
A proper Dream11 differential pick, Ayan has a high points ceiling and is someone worth taking a punt on.
#1 Rinku Narwal (ALL) (DEL) (12 Credits)
One of the most experienced PKL players, left corner Rinku Narwal replaced Ashish Malik in Delhi's starting 7 for their match against the Bulls, scoring two tackle points on his PKL return. Rinku has been around in the PKL since season 5, playing for a host of franchises like the Puneri Paltan, Bengal Warriorz, and the Gujarat Giants.
This inexperienced Patna raiding unit have blown hot and cold throughout the season, and Rinku could profit from their inconsistency and any errors they make in this outing. At 12 credits, he offers great value and is a worthwhile Dream11 pick with plenty of potential.
