Patna Pirates Aim for Hattrick

 The Telugu Titans came within seconds of beating the Bengaluru Bulls in their previous outing, but a great tackle from Pawan Sehrawat denied them victory. The Titans will take plenty of positives from that performance, particularly the emergence of Ankit Beniwal, who scored his first career Super 10. The raider has scored 19 points in his team’s last two matches, and if he can continue his excellent form, the Titans’ first win may just be around the corner.  

The Patna Pirates have had a terrific start to their campaign and have won three out of their first four matches, losing just one. Their raiding trio of Sachin, Prashanth Kumar Rai, and Monu Goyat has been spectacular together and the defense has held its own. The Pirates are emerging as strong contenders to go all the way this season, but they will want to take it one game at a time and focus only on winning on Monday and climbing to second on the points table.
