The Tamil Thalaivas and the Telugu Titans will lock horns in match No. 38 of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL). The match will start at the Gachibowli Stadium in Hyderabad at 9 PM.
The Thalaivas and the Titans have already met once this year. They played each other in the first week of the PKL season, with the former emerging victorious with a scoreline of 44-29.
In that match, the Titans couldn’t put up much of a fight. The team’s top scorers were captain Pawan Sehrawat and all-rounder Vijay Malik, who scored 10 and nine points, respectively. However, Sherawat’s side were noticeably lacking in the defense.
On the other hand, the Thailavas were impeccable in the match, with Narender Kandola and Sachin spearheading the team’s attack. Sahil Gulia, Sagar Rathe, and Abhishek Manokaran, meanwhile, excelled on the defense.
Since the match, the Thalaivas have maintained their momentum and sit second in the points table. Outside of an unexpected loss to the Bengaluru Bulls, they have put up multiple impressive performances.
The Titans, however, have been hot and cold this season. They’ve played six matches so far, and sit ninth in the rankings with three wins. Their most impressive performance came against the Patna Pirates a week ago, when they eked out a 28-26 win. Since then, they have also beaten the Bengaluru Bulls 38-35.
