TEAMS PREVIEW

U Mumba Preview

U Mumba are coming off a one-point, nail-biting win over the Patna Pirates in their last match, with the scoreline being 40-39. It was a close contest that went down to the wire, but U Mumba, as usual, held their nerve to clinch the win.

Mumba has had a tough season in terms of raiding, where they haven't had one particular raider they can rely on to score points for them every game. But that problem seems to have come to an end with the emergence of Amirmohammad Zafardanesh, who was benched early in the season but has made a comeback, scoring 19 raid points in the last two matches. The young prodigy Anil has also supported him well.

On the defensive end, Mumba is the most efficient and effective team this season, averaging 11 tackle points per game. Lokesh Ghosliay has been the most effective with 15 tackle points in 6 matches.

U Mumba Probable Starting 7: Ajit Chouhan, Anil,Zafardanesh, Rinku, Sunil Kumar, Lokesh Ghosaliya, Parvesh Bhainswal.

Puneri Paltan Preview

The Puneri Paltan head into this contest on the back of a dominant 39-33, 6-point win over the Telugu Titans in their last match. After a bit of a stutter in the middle, the Paltan are now looking well-settled with a much more balanced lineup.

On the offensive end, Puneri Paltan are currently ranked 10th, scoring 20 raid points per game. They are led by Aditya Shinde with 53 raid points in 7 matches, and well-complemented by Pankaj Mohite with 33 raid points and Aslam Inamdar with 30 raid points.

On the defensive end, Puneri Paltan have come alive in a big way in the last two matches and are currently the number one ranked defensive team, averaging 12 tackle points per game. Gaurav Khatri leads the way with 26 tackle points. 

Puneri Paltan Probable Starting 7: Aditya Shinde, Aslam Inamdar, Pankaj Mohite, Gaurav Khatri, Vishal Bharadwaj, Abinesh Nadarajan, Gurdeep.
