The 109th Pro Kabaddi League 2024 match will feature Tamil Thalaivas and Patna Pirates. Both teams are alive in the race to the playoffs. It is a crucial match for the Thalaivas because they will be virtually eliminated if they lose.
Tamil Thalaivas hold the 10th position in the Pro Kabaddi League 2024 points table with 38 points from 17 matches. They still have an outside chance of making it to the next round, but first, they need to win their remaining five league matches.
Meanwhile, Patna Pirates have a realistic chance of earning a direct entry into the semifinals. The three-time champions own the fifth spot in the Pro Kabaddi League 2024 standings with 58 points from 17 matches. If the Pirates win their remaining five games, they can qualify for the semifinals directly.

Before the high-stakes contest between Patna Pirates and Tamil Thalaivas starts, here's a look at the three players who Dream11 users can pick as captain or vice-captain for the fantasy contests.
#1 Devank Dalal - Patna Pirates
Devank Dalal will be a top pick in fantasy contests for any Pro Kabaddi League 2024 match involving the Patna Pirates. Devank has been the most successful raider of the season so far, earning 221 raid points in just 17 matches.
He was outstanding in Patna Pirates' previous match against the Jaipur Pink Panthers, earning 14 points. Having scored a match-winning Super 10 in his last game, Devank will aim to continue in the same vein and help Patna beat Thalaivas in the 109th game of PKL 2024.
#2 Moein Safaghi - Tamil Thalaivas
Iranian all-rounder Moein Safaghi has scored big consistently for Tamil Thalaivas in recent Pro Kabaddi League 2024 matches. Moein narrowly missed out on a Super 10 in the Thalaivas' previous match against U Mumba.
Considering that Tamil Thalaivas have given up on Sachin Tanwar, Moein Safaghi is the most reliable option for captaincy or vice-captaincy in fantasy contests among all players of the Chennai-based franchise.
Moein can contribute to the raid unit and make a difference with his tackling skills.
#3 Ankit Jaglan - Patna Pirates
Patna Pirates all-rounder Ankit Jaglan has been a game-changer in the defense for his team. Jaglan holds the fourth position on the defenders' leaderboard in Pro Kabaddi League 2024 with 56 tackle points from 17 matches.
The Patna all-rounder rarely goes in to raid for his team, but he averages almost four tackle points per match, which makes him a worthy candidate for vice-captaincy in the fantasy contests. The Tamil Thalaivas raiders have not had the best time on the mat lately. Hence, Ankit Jaglan has a high chance of scoring a High 5 for the Patna Pirates.
Besides the three names mentioned on the list, Dream11 users can also consider Tamil Thalaivas left corner defender Nitesh Kumar for captaincy or vice-captaincy. Nitesh has 54 tackle points from 17 matches and stands sixth on the defenders' leaderboard in Pro Kabaddi League 2024.
