Today's PKL Match Prediction
Manjeet raided well for the Tamil Thalaivas in their previous match but fell just short of the Super 10. He ended the match with nine points in total.
More than the raiders it was the defense that stepped up against the Pink Panthers and did not give away easy points. Captain Surjeet Singh led the defense with five points.
The skipper was equally supported by Sagar, who scored four points in the previous match. While the defenders will look to carry the momentum into the upcoming match as well, the raiders from the Thalaivas will have to step up their game against a strong Gujarat defensive unit if they have to win this contest.
The Gujarat Giants, on the other hand, will be banking on raiders Ajay Kumar and Rakesh Narwal to score points. In the previous match, Ajay Kumar finished with seven points and was well supported by Rakesh Narwal with six points.
Defenders Sunil Kumar, Parvesh Bhainswal and Girish Maruti Ernak will be hoping to do better against Tamil Thalaivas in the upcoming match.
Prediction: Gujarat Giants are expected to win the match.
