6-55pm: The Thalaivas enjoyed derby delight in each of its past two outings, as it registered two huge wins over the Bengaluru Bulls and the Telugu Titans and clawed their way into the playoff spots. Their defence was incredible in both games. The Thalaivas matched the Bulls’ raiding unit’s output with 17 points and outscored the Titans’ offence 17-13. Its raiding duo of Manjeet and Ajinkya Pawar has also been in terrific form of late and have been key contributors in their team’s recent triumphs. The Thalaivas are peaking at the right time and would want to continue their surge up the points table with a third straight win on Saturday.
6-50pm: Two straight losses have seen U Mumba slip to seventh on the points table, albeit only five points behind fourth-placed Haryana Steelers, which has played a game more. U Mumba’s raiding unit performed well in both games, but the usually sturdy defence had two weak performances, which led to them losing both matches. If U Mumba’s defence can tighten the screw on the Tamil Thalaivas’ raiding unit, they have the firepower to end their recent slump and climb back into the top six.
6-40pm: Head-to-head stats: Played: 6 U Mumba: 4 Tamil Thalaivas: 1 Tie: 1. The reverse fixture saw both the teams battle out a 30-30 tie.
6-30pm: Good evening and welcome to the first game of the evening! We’ve got a cracking contest ahead of us as U Mumba takes on Tamil Thalaivas. But before that, here’s a recap of what happened last night in the PKL over the last fortnight-
