U Mumba vs UP Yoddha Match Preview: 

U Mumba have made a decent start to their season as they have registered two wins, a loss & a tied game in 3 matches, and are currently placed fourth on the points table. Mumbai thrashed arch-rivals Jaipur Pink Panthers in their last match by 37-28.

UP Yoddha started as ‘favourites’ to win the title this year but they’ve had a jittery campaign so far. They are eighth in the points table with a win, two losses & a tied game 32-32 against Gujarat Giants. 

U Mumba will come into this match with great momentum from their previous match over Jaipur. Coach Subramanian Rajaguru is highly unlikely to make any changes in the Starting 7 from their last match. 

UP Yoddha shared match-points with Gujarat Giants in their last encounter which ended in a nail-biting draw. Railways star raider Shrikant Jadhav again may not find a place in the Starting 7

U Mumba vs UP Yoddha Prediction:

U Mumba vs UP Yoddha is expected to be a close match, however, UP Yoddha have a slight advantage over U Mumba with their better depth in the squad.

Pardeep Narwal avoided a defeat for UP Yoddha in their last match against Gujarat Giants with his crucial Super 10. U Mumba’s defence on other hand also seems back in form after a tremendous outing against Jaipur Pink Panthers.

Mumbai has managed to stop Pardeep Narwal in both the matches in PKL season 7. But Pardeep Narwal is fond of accepting challenges and turning the tables.
