Manjeet has had a good season with 42 raid points so far and he will once again look to make an impact.
Bhavani Rajput has played the second fiddle to Manjeet and has picked up 16 raid points so far this season.
Sagar is among the top 5 defenders with the most tackle points(16) and looked in great touch in the previous match.
Patna Pirates have been unstoppable so far this season and they have the most successful tackles per match ( 11 ) while Thalaivas are leading the chart of most tackles by a team ( 60 ). So both teams have a very strong defense but Patna has a slight edge in raiding and hence Patna Pirates are expected to win this match but it will be a close contest.
