#3 Jaideep (Patna Pirates) vs Maninder Singh (Bengal Warriors)
Though the Pirates are heavily reliant on their offence powered by Pardeep Narwal and Monu Goyat, their defence has done the job when called upon.
Jaideep has been crucial in that rearguard, helping the team keep its shape and structure, allowing them to be one of the top teams in Zone B. He has scored 26 points in the 11 matches he has played, becoming his team's go-to defender.
The man who plays at left corner will have to focus on stopping the Bengal Warriors' Maninder Singh, who has had a great season himself.
Maninder has raided without fear, utilising his speed and strength very well, to score 102 points from the 13 matches he has been a part of. Raiding has been the Warriors' strength and they would be expecting more of the same from Singh, as they look to overcome their recent slump and consolidate their position at the top of the standings in Zone B.
