The Puneri Paltan TT will go up against the Ahmedabad SG Pipers in the second match of the Ultimate Table Tennis 2024. Both teams would want to get their campaign off to a winning start at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai.
While the Puneri Paltan made it to the semi-final of the competition last year, the Ahmedabad SG Pipers will make their debut at the UTT. The Paltan's performed quite well in 2023, winning three out of their five league matches.
However, they had to eventually settle for a loss to the Chennai Lions in the semi-finals. The team from Pune would want to go all the way at this year's UTT.
On the other hand, the Pipers will look to get the momentum early given it is their first appearance. An early win for them could make the other teams wary of their ability.

Puneri Paltan TT vs Ahmedabad SG Pipers Match Prediction
There is not much to seperate between the two teams on paper. Both sides will be playing their first match of the Ultimate Table Tennis Season five. Thus, it is difficult to pick a clear favorite.
The Puneri Paltan would back themselves, given that they have a lot more experience in the league than their opponents. However, World No.13, Romania's, Bernadette Szocs's, presence in the Ahmedabad squad, would bolster their chances.
