Sachin (Gujarat Fortunegiants) vs Jaideep (Patna Pirates)
The clash of the titans, Gujarat Fortunegiants and Patna Pirates, will see teams leading both zones facing off against each other.
Sachin Tanwar has been Gujarat's leading raider, despite coming into the season as a highly-rated youngster who had a lot to prove. He has lived up to his auction price of Rs. 36 lakhs and has grown into one of the team's leaders.
Sachin has scored 121 points in 18 matches and has used his strength and speed to great effect, combining touch points and smart bonus raids with the odd risky raid.
He will have to get the better of Patna Pirates' Jaideep, who has overcome a slow start to become his team's best defender. Jaideep has scored 51 points in 19 matches and is now one of the top five defenders in the league.
The youngster was signed by Patna for an exorbitant sum of Rs. 50 lakhs, but he has shown why the team chose to splurge on him.
This battle of youngsters who have proved their worth will one to watch and will determine which team wins the encounter.
