Gujarat Giants vs Patna Pirates Match Preview: 

Gujarat Giants succeeded in winning their first match of the season but have three matches and tied two matches since. Consequently, they are sitting at the eighth spot in the points table with 14 points in six matches. The Gujarat side would be looking to step up their game before it is too late.

Patna Pirates on the other hand are sitting on the 3rd spot in the points table with 24 points in 6 matches. Patna lost their first game this season but have been undefeated since and would be looking to continue their run against struggling Gujarat Giants. 

Gujarat Giants’ failure till now in season 8 can be blamed on their defence. Even though their defensive unit is considered to be one of the strongest. the defenders have failed to perform to their potential so far. Even though they replaced their captain Sunil Malik with Ravinder Pahal in their last fixture, things still didn’t work out and Ravinder Pahal had to walk away in the middle of the match due to an injury.

Patna Pirates have found their perfect squad balance and all the players have been contributing for the good run. Even though questions were raised on Patna’s raiding department owing to Pardeep Narwal’s absence, the trio of Sachin, Monu and Prashanth has done well to put these questions to rest.
