Telugu Titans will square off with Puneri Paltan in the 51st match of Pro Kabaddi League 2023 at Noida Indoor Stadium in Noida on January 1, Monday.
Telugu Titans are carrying the wooden spoon with just one win and seven losses, having played eight games so far. They have bagged only eight points and are entering this game on the back of two defeats. Their most recent defeat came against U Mumba by 52-34.
Regrettably, they missed out on their captain Pawan Sherawat in their previous game and it would be interesting to see if he would come back into this game. Their raiding department is surely missing out on their star raider.
Meanwhile, Puneri Paltan are ranked second in the tally with six wins and one defeat in seven encounters. They are coming into this game on the back of four consecutive wins. Their most recent game was against Patna Pirates, winning it quite comprehensively by 46-28.
Paltan would be a strong favorite entering this contest. They have an impressive raiding unit and agile defensive department, that can give a lot of valuable points to top the game.
