Gujarat Giants aim to make it 3 wins on the trot

The Giants have been in exceptional form of late, coming out victorious in 5 of their last 7 encounters. Their latest victim was Pardeep Narwal’s UP Yoddha. The superstar raider was in good form coming into yesterday’s match, but Gujarat’s defence were in a league of their own.

Girish Ernak starred in defence once again, with 6 points in the bag, while Parvesh Bhainswal notched up 4 points. The raiders shared the responsibility amongst themselves, as Ajay Kumar and Pardeep Kumar scored 6 points and 5 points respectively. The Giants now find themselves in the Top 6 and will be high on confidence, as they take on the Puneri Paltan in the third fixture of the day.

The two teams faced off against each other in the early stages of PKL Season 8, where the Paltans emerged victorious by a 33-26 margin. However, a lot has changed since, as the reputed Giants' defence have come into their own and they look as dangerous as ever. Gujarat Giants currently occupy the 6th spot on the points table, with Puneri Paltans closely behind in 8th place.

This match will be extremely crucial for both teams, as they look to consolidate their place in the Top 6. Mohit Goyat and Aslam Inamdar will be the men to watch out for in the Paltans camp, while Pardeep Kumar and Girish Ernak could play a crucial role in Gujarat’s chances tonight.

Head-to-Head:

Gujarat Giants and Puneri Paltan have faced off on 9 occasions, with the Giants enjoying the upper hand.
