New Delhi: In match no. 13, Jaipur Pink Panthers will go one-on-one against Telugu Titans, and in the second match of the night, two unbeaten teams, Puneri Paltan and Dabang Delhi, will battle out against each other at the Rajiv Gandhi Indoor Stadium in Vizag on September 4, Thursday.
Match 1 of the night:
Jaipur Pink Panthers’ young players showed the fire in the first match of the season against the previous year’s finalists, Patna Pirates. Now they will take on struggling Telugu Titans, who lost two back-to-back matches in their home.
Titans are still waiting for their first win of the season. Their skipper, Vijay Malik, and Bharat Hooda are likely to lead the Titans as their defensive department is yet to click in the tournament.
Nitin Kumar stepped up as a lead raider for Panthers, while Ali Samadi showed an impressive performance with eight points in his debut PKL match.
Nitin’s efficiency was exceptional in the first game, as his only two raids were unsuccessful out of 20 raids.
For Titans, Vijay also scored a Super 10 in the last game, but their defence has to score more tackle points to support their raiders. Titans have never beaten Panthers since PKL 9.

Match 2 of the night:
The favourites of the PKL season 12 will clash in the second match of the night as Dabang Delhi K.C. will take on table toppers Puneri Paltan. Paltan are the table topper with three wins in three matches, and they would also like to extend their winning run.
Delhi played only one game and began their campaign with a solid victory against Bengaluru Bulls. Delhi’s defensive unit, with skipper Ashu Malik, looks perfectly balanced for the side to do well in the season.
Paltan’s raiding trio, Aditya Shinde, Pankaj Mohite, and Aslam Inamdar, are their strength in PKL 12, while Delhi’s experienced defensive unit, including Fazel Atrachali, Surjeet Singh, and Saurabh Nandal, could trouble the Paltan’s raiders.
Ashu needs more support from other raiders to match the raiding depth of Paltan’s. He outclassed Bengaluru Bulls’ defenders in the first game by scoring 15 points.
