U Mumba, on the other hand, have blown hot and cold so far. They are sixth in the league standings with one win, one loss, and one tied game after three matches.

Jaipur Pink Panthers vs U Mumba Probable Playing 7s

U Mumba
V Ajith fought a lone battle against Tamil Thalaivas with a whopping 15 raid points. However, Abhishek Singh had another disappointing outing with only two raid points for U Mumba. It was a horrendous performance from the defense as only two defenders, Rahul Sethpal and Rinku, scored two tackle points each.
Rinku could replace Shivam in the starting seven.

Today's PKL Match Prediction
The attacking unit of the Jaipur Pink Panthers is now looking settled, but they still have some issues with the defense. The form of their star defender Sandeep Dhull could be a major concern for Pro Kabaddi team management, but the Panthers are now looking hungry for the hunt.
At the same time, there are problems aplenty for U Mumba. Abhishek Singh has looked completely off-color in the last two fixtures. Meanwhile, their defense has been negligible so far. If U Mumba don't improve quickly, they will be looking down the barrel from here.
Prediction: Jaipur Pink Panthers are likely to win this contest.
