TEAMS PREVIEW

Patna Pirates Preview

The Patna Pirates enter this contest following a narrow 39-36 loss to the Jaipur Pink Panthers, their second defeat of the season, both of which were by a margin of three points.

In that match, Maninder Singh was the top performer with 15 raid points (8 touch and 7 bonus), supported by M. Sudhakar with nine raid points (4 touch and 5 bonus) and Ayan Lohchab with six raid points. This trio collectively accounted for 30 of the team's 36 points, representing over 80% of their total score.

A key factor in their loss was the poor performance of their defense, which only managed to secure four tackle points, all of which came from the bench. The Pirates had a tackle success rate of only 30%, converting just 6 of their 20 tackle attempts.
