Team Analysis
UP Yoddha
Their home leg started with a disappointing loss against Tamil Thalaivas. Rishnak Devadiga’s absence made a huge difference for the Yoddha. Also, Shrikant Jadhav looked out of form. Prashanth’s fight was not enough for the team to win. As Prashanth and Shrikant have emerged as prime raiders they will be expected to perform well for the team. Nitesh Kumar, Narender, Sachin Kumar, and Jeeva Kumar will be looking to regain their form.
Bengaluru Bulls
The winning momentum is with the Bulls team as they beat Patna at their home leg. Their raiders including Pawan Kumar Sehrawat, Kashiling Adake, and captain Rohit Kumar together can destroy any defense which they did against Patna Pirates.
