The Paltans' previous match ended in a tie against Tamil Thalaivas and the hosts would be looking to end the home leg with a win. The Paltan's seasoned player Nitin Tomar is delivering and that is a big boost to the Pune outfit.

Pankaj Mohite (81 from 14 games) is their second most effective raider. Nitin Tomar has 49 points in 10 games. Nitin was ineffective against Thalaivas in the raiding department.
