In their fourth home match, the UP Yoddha will take on the Warriors from Bengal in a match at the Babu Banarasi Das Indoor Stadium in Lucknow.
UP have lost three matches on the trot at home and will be on the hunt for a much-needed win, while Bengal Warriors played out a tie in their last match.
UP Yoddha predicted line-up
Nitin Tomar (c) [Raider]
He was the costliest player to be bought at the auctions and has proven his worth in the capacity of his captaincy and raiding.
Rishank Devadiga [Raider]
Rishank can take away the game from the opposition if he comes into his own akin to his 14-point match against U Mumba.
Rajesh Narwal [All-rounder]
A vital inclusion in the starting seven given his capability to perform in the attack as well as the defence.
Jeeva Kumar [Right Cover Defender]
Jeeva Kumar will be the experienced campaigner guiding the young forces around in the defence.
Mahesh Goud [Raider]
Mahesh Goud is best used as the third-choice raider to shine in the do-or-die raids.
Sagar Krishna [All-rounder]
The young defensive all-rounder has given great glimpses of his talent so far in the tournament and will look to continue in the same manner.
Hadi Tajik [Right Corner Defender]
The Iranian import adds depth to the squad particularly in the defence and combines well with the other defenders on the mat.
Bengal Warriors predicted line-up
Surjeet (C) [Right cover defender]
Surjeet leads his side by example, executing those mighty body blocks and holds on the approaching raiders.
Ran Singh [All-rounder]
Ran Singh is lethal in the corner position with his stellar ankle and thigh holds as well as the combination tackles.
Jang Kun Lee [Raider]
The Korean import is a raider of the highest quality and the mantle lies on him partially to ensure that the scoreboard keeps ticking in the team's favour.
Maninder Singh [Raider]
Maninder has showcased that he is on his comeback and eager to make up for his lost time on the court with his raiding performances.
Srikanth Tewthia [All-rounder]
Srikanth has a considerable amount of playing experience in the PKL which adds depth to the Bengal squad.
Rahul Kumar [Defender]
The young gun has been great in coordination with the other defenders in comparison to solo tackles, an area where he will want to prove his mettle.
Vinod Kumar [All-rounder]
Vinod Kumar is a surprise element who can execute the most precise tackles on one shore while fetching points in heaps on the rival shore as well.
