Patna Pirates team news
Patna Pirates' story this season has revolved around individual performances more than team show and they will need to come together as a unit if they wish to end the season on positive note. Their playoffs contention looks bleak as they are currently placed ninth on the points table with a total of 39 points from seventeen matches.
The three-time champions have won just six out of 17 games, while lost 11 matches and securing one tie. But the last couple of matches have seen the Pirates turn their game around and they will hope to put on another match-winning knock for nothing but a win.
In the last five games, Patna have secured three wins, one tie and a loss. Needless to say the oustanding performer for the Pirates this season has been their captain Pardeep Narwal. Narwal has led from the front garnering a whopping 224 raid points this season and he will be a threat to the Delhi defenders.
Neeraj Kumar has done his bit to hold up the defence for the Pirates, garnering 50 points this season. However, their defence needs to be stronger going ahead. Another top performer for the Pirates this season has been all rounder Hadi Oshtorak who has chipped in with 42 points. An all-round effort from the Patna Pirates can trouble any team on a good day.
