Winning ways

UP. Yoddha made their way into the Top 6 on the back of a five-match winning streak. But their run was halted by U Mumba in their previous match, which took some of the wind out of their sails.

They will be hoping to get back back to winning ways against a struggling Thalaivas outfit.

Momentum building

Tamil Thalaivas claimed a win in their previous match after a run of losses and will be looking to build on that momentum to secure the fourth win of their campaign.

With a win they will move off the bottom of the table and ahead of Telugu Titans into 11th place and that will be a big incentive.
