Aslam Inamdar-led Puneri Paltan head into the match on the back of a win over defending champions Jaipur Pink Panthers, while Surinder Singh-led U Mumba, who opened their campaign with a win against UP Yoddhas, are fresh from a loss to Gujarat Giants.

Puneri Paltan rode on Aslam Inamdar's Super10 and Mohammadreza Chiyaneh's High5 backed by Mohit Goyat's 8-point performance to beat Jaipur Pink Panthers by a scoreline of 37-33 in their only outing so far in PKL 10.
U Mumba, on the other hand, followed their 34-31 win on the opening day against Yoddhas with a narrow 37-39 loss to Gujarat Giants in their most recent encounter in the ongoing landmark season of Pro Kabaddi.
In terms of team news, Aslam Inamdar will be the prime raider for Puneri Paltan alongside Mohit Goyat and Pankaj Mohite with the likes of Abinesh Nadarajan, Mohammadreza Chiyaneh, Gaurav Khatri and Sanket Sawant in defence.
U Mumba will bank on Guman Singh in the raiding department with all rounders Amirmohammad Zafardanesh and Visvanath V also expected to provide support, while the defence will include Surinder Singh, Rinku, Girish Maruti and Mahender Singh.

PUN vs MUM Dream11 Team: Rinku (Defender - MUM), Aslam Inamdar (captain/All Rounder - PUN), Mahender Singh (Defender - MUM), Mohammadreza Chiyaneh (All Rounder - PUN), Mohit Goyat (Raider - PUN), Guman Singh (vice captain/Raider - MUM), Abinesh Nadarajan (Defender - PUN)
Puneri Paltan start favourites due to a settled side that only got stronger with the addition of Mohammadreza Chiyaneh. U Mumba will have a huge task in defence as well as in attack.
The Mumbai-based side will need to keep at least three raiding threats quiet and then manage to score in their raiding attempts. If Amirmohammad Zafardanesh and Guman Singh continue their form, U Mumba stand a chance or else it is going to be a one-sided contest.
