Patna Pirates are coming into the match on the back of 4 losses in the last 5 games, and are on 12th position in points table, Coming up against 3rd place Bengal who are in good form. Pardeep Narwal has looked a pale shadow of himself. Although he is the third best raider in the league on total points, he has been trapped enough times by oppositions. And the team has just not shown the fight required to bring him back on the mat. Bengal have a raiding trio, if anyone of the three has a strong game then the warriors become a very difficult unit. Their defense has been the 2nd most miserly business of the season conceding just 225 points while the pirates defense has conceded 243 points - almost 3 points more they are conceding per game. How their defenders play out this game could have a significant impact on the outcomes of the match.
