Patna Pirates are expected to win this match against Jaipur Pink Panthers.

Arjun is just one point away to complete a century of raid points in PKL season 8.

Patna’s vice-captain Neeraj Kumar is also Arjun Deshwal’s Services raider and he will have the responsibility to stop the young Jaipur raider. Neeraj had a fantastic outing against U Mumba where he was the top scorer for the Patna Pirates with 8 tackle points.
