Today's PKL Match Prediction

Jaipur Pink Panthers will certainly start as favorites, having thumped the Patna Pirates in their previous match. Deepak Hooda and Arjun Deshwal will once again look to lead the team in the raiding department, while the defense that failed to fire against Patna will look to come to the party against Tamil Thalaivas.

Both departments - raiding as well as defense - will have to be on their toes for Tamil Thalaivas if they hope to put up a fight against the Pink Panthers.

Prediction: Jaipur Pink Panthers are expected to win the match based on their current form.
