Puneri Paltan will face three-times Patna Pirates in semifinal 1 of Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) season 10 at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad on Wednesday (February 28).

Puneri Paltan earned a direct entry into the semi-final, having topped the points table at the end of the league phase, while Pirates edged past Dabang Delhi K.C. 37-35 to book their last four berth.

Patna Pirates will be up against a familiar face in Mohammadreza Chiyaneh, who spent two seasons at the former champions side. He will now be crucial as the Iranian will be tasked with keeping former teammate Sachin off court.

For Patna's defence, the threat will not be coming from one, but in the form of three or even five raiders - Aslam Inamdar, Pankaj Mohite, Mohit Goyat and the two Shindes. Now, let's take a look at the, head-to-head, possible playing 7s, dream11 team and prediction for PUN vs PAT:

Puneri Paltan vs Patna Pirates PKL Semi-Final Prediction

Puneri Paltan start favourites due to their dominant display during the league phase which saw them top the table with a huge score difference. However, Patna Pirates will take confidence from their tied result in the recent encounter with the table-toppers.

This contest will likely be decided in a straight battle between Chiyaneh and Sachin. If Patna defence manage to keep the raiding trio off court, then they stand a chance or else Pune will run away with tie to seal their second successive final.
