Telugu Titans started off their home leg with two big wins that saw them overtake Bengal Warriors on the points table. However, two back to back defeats mean that the hosts are now in a spot of bother and with Patna coming to town, it is going to be a must win game. The Titans’ decision to rest Nilesh Salunke for the first half of the Bulls game drew a lot of criticism especially after the raider came on in the second half to score 6 points. While their raiding unit has looked shaky the entire season, it is their defence that is making uncharacteristic errors to put them in a hole. However, Rahul Chaudhari has risen to the occasion when Telugu has needed in the past, so it is not outside the realms of belief that he will rise to save them again. 

Patna will come into this game after thrashing Pune and ending their chances of making the playoffs. Pardeep Narwal looks like he is back to his very best after a 27-point game in Delhi and will hope to carry the momentum, as he has in the last three seasons, into the playoffs. Their defence has looked quite decent in the last few games and with a misfiring Titans in front of them, there is not a whole lot that we can learn from this game. But that does not mean that it is not going to be a competitive game because you never know if the Titans’ defence can keep Pardeep quiet.
