The Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) 2024 continues with matchday 55 action at the Badminton Hall in Balewadi Complex, Pune, on Friday, December 13, 2024. The battle for playoffs is in its final stage. Out of 12 teams, only nine are still in the hunt for the playoffs, as Haryana has already qualified, while Gujarat and Bengaluru have been eliminated. The four teams in action today will have different agendas. Tamil Thalaivas and defending champions Puneri Paltan will look to break into the top six of the points table, while Patna Pirates will aim to reclaim second spot. On the other hand, Bengaluru Bulls, having been eliminated, will look to spoil the plans of other teams in their remaining games.
Match 1: Tamil Thalaivas vs Patna Pirates
In the first match, Tamil Thalaivas will face three-time champions and in-form Patna Pirates in a potentially season-defining clash for both sides. A win for the Thalaivas will keep them in contention for the PKL 2024 playoffs, while the Pirates will aim to regain second place on the points table and secure direct qualification to the semi-finals.
