UP Yoddha vs Telugu Titans Probable Playing 7s

UP Yoddha

Surender Gill and Shrikant Jadhav continue to impress for UP Yoddha. Gill racked up a Super 10 while Jadhav picked up nine raid points in their previous game.

However, the indifferent form of Pardeep Narwal continues to be an issue for the team. Their defense was also not at its best. Nitesh Kumar and Sumit picked up three and two tackle points respectively. UP Yoddha have so far failed to come together as a unit.

Probable Playing 7: Shrikant Jadhav, Surender Gill, Ashu Singh, Nitesh Kumar, Sumit, Shubham Kumar, Aman Hooda

Telugu Titans

The Titans crashed to a big defeat against Tamil Thalaivas last time out. Galla Raju put up a decent all-round show with seven raid and two tackle points. Adarsh T and Rohit Kumar need to start contributing to the raiding department as well. Sandeep Kandola had a good outing with four tackle points.

Probable Playing 7: Galla Raju, Rohit Kumar, Akash Choudhary, Adarsh T, C Arun, Prince D, Sandeep Kandola

Today’s PKL Match Prediction

Both teams have struggled to find form in recent games. However, UP Yoddha are a much better unit compared to the Titans this season. In Surender Gill, Shrikant Jadhav and Pardeep Narwal, they have an able raiding unit. Skipper Nitesh Kumar is among the finest defenders and will have to lead from the front.

This has been a season to forget for the Titans. They have simply failed to show up. The Titans do not seem to have the required balance in the side, which is why they have failed to perform consistently and as a unit.

UP Yoddha are desperate to bounce back and this is the perfect opposition for them to beat and lift themselves as well.

Prediction: UP Yoddha to win this clash.
