Tamil Thalaivas vs Jaipur Pink Panthers Match Prediction
The star-raiding duo of Narender Hoshiyar and Ajinkya Pawar didn’t have a great day against the Patna Pirates. However, the defensive unit leaked too many points as the home team suffered a heavy defeat in their previous game.
Jaipur Pink Panthers, on the other hand, are playing as a combined unit at the moment. Arjun Deshwal regained his lost form against the UP Yoddhas, while he received excellent support from Reza Mirbagheri, who picked up four tackle points in the defence.
Prediction: Jaipur Pink Panthers to win the match.
