Telugu Titans

Rajnish was on fire against Dabang Delhi in the last match and registered 20 raid points. Meanwhile, Surinder Singh was solid in the defense, earning four tackle points.

There is no update on Siddharth Desai's availability, and if he is not available, then an unchanged starting seven is expected.

Today's PKL Match Prediction

With Fazel Atrachali leading from the front, U Mumba's defense has improved with each passing game. However, Abhishek Singh's indifferent form in the attack is their biggest concern.

At the same time, the Telugu Titans are struggling on every front. Siddharth Desai's absence has left a huge hole in their attack, which Rajnish tried to fill in the last game. However, none of their other raiders were able to provide proper support. Moreover, their defense has completely been out of place, and the Titans will have to fix it with immediate effect.

Prediction: U Mumba are expected to win this contest
