What both teams have done successfully is hunt and defend in packs. Monu Goyat, Sachin and Prashanth Rai have formed a fearsome trio for Patna in the attack.

They have compensated for the loss of Pardeep Narwal with their clever raiding, fully understanding their potential and limitations.

But in Surjeet Singh and Sagar, they face a defence in red-hot form. The pair got eight points in its previous match and will fancy another defensive shutdown against the Pirates.

Thalaivas' raiding unit of Manjeet, Bhavani Rajput and K Prapanjan haven't fared badly either. Manjeet, especially, has impressed with his smart raiding, using his height and reach to good advantage.

Ajinkya Pawar, a substitute against Yoddha, who chipped in with useful points for coach Udaya Kumar's team, might also be in the reckoning for a starting spot.

In Sajin C and Mohammadreza Chiyaneh, the Pirates have a more than capable defence to fight fire with fire. Both defenders are known to go for their tackles and will eye Manjeet, who favours the left side to raid.
