Patna Pirates Vs Telugu Titans 18 December 2024

Full time: Telugu Titans 37-41 Patna Pirates

What a game of Kabaddi. The Titans were there and they did a fine job but not better than the Pirates, who won the game and sealed their playoff berth. They will be feeling great and so will the UP Yoddhas, who become the fourth team to qualify for the playoffs.

Patna Pirates had some great performers throughout. Devank has been their best player so far and showed why. He scored 14 points, 10 touchpoints and 4 raid points to go along with it. He was aided in defence by Deepak, who picked up a High 5 and Ankit, who returned with six points to his name.

Telugu Titans were always playing catch up and needed to act to soon but failed in taking evasive action. Pawan Sehrawat was their best raider, picking up nine raid points. Ankit returned with a high 5 while Vijay Malik put in an all round performance with nine points across both departments. They get to 61 points and need 5 points more to secure a place in the play-offs.

40' Bonus point for Vijay Malik but he fails to escape the ankle hold and goes off the mat. Manjeet jumps into the defender and sends him off the mat. DO OR DIE RAID FOR PATNA PIRATES! Manjeet makes the effort and holds Devank off the mat before Pawan escapes Gurdeep's tackle.  A huge load of time wasting and that is game set and match. Patna Pirates win 41-37 and help themselves and UP Yoddhas seal a playoff spot.

Hello and welcome to Sportskeeda's live coverage of the Pro Kabaddi League Season 11. Match 120 of the league stages will be played between Patna Pirates and Telugu Titans

This upcoming match is expected to be a feisty contest between the two sides vying for a spot in the points table. With 12 league games to go, only Haryana Steelers and Dabang Delhi have booked their place in the playoffs while the rest of the four spots remain wide open. It will be interesting which side strengthens their chances for a playoff berth.

Patna Pirates come into this contest on the back of a win over Puneri Paltan. They will want to keep that winning momentum on as they aim at progressing ahead and locking down the playoff spots. In the 19 matches they have played so far, they have won 12, lost six and drawn only a solitary game. A win today will seal their place in the knockouts and it will be a very dear win for them should they get it done.

For Telugu Titans, their dream run so far is coming apart but they will be comforted in the fact that they are currently seventh in the points table. Having played 20 matches, they have won 11 and lost 9 with a points difference of -48. Currently, they are on 60 points and a win today will make it 65 points for them, taking them above U Mumba (60 points) and Jaipur Pink Panters (64 points).

An interesting contest awaits us. Join me, Lavil as I take you through the next 40 minutes that are guaranteed to thrill. Toss and teams in a bit
