Ahmedabad Smash Masters had a good start to this season of the Premier Badminton League (PBL), winning all their three fixtures, and will aim to continue the momentum when they take on the Chennai Smashers here on Sunday.
In what promises to be a high-octane clash, Chennai Smashers will have a lot at stake, as they are at the bottom of the points table.
On the other hand, with wins over North Eastern Warriors, Delhi Dashers and Bengaluru Raptors, the Viktor Axelsen led Smash Masters will be looking to extend their unbeaten streak. With 12 points from 3 matches, the Smash Masters have a 100 percent win record so far and are placed second in the table.
Meanwhile, Pune, who are playing their second home game here, will be extra motivated to go all guns blazing when they take the court against the Bengaluru Raptors.
Last edition runners-up Bengaluru Raptors will seek to do everything right in this season. Having played just one match, the team's full potential is yet to be tested, but with the squad boasting of some of the finest shuttlers, the Raptors will be a force to reckon against. The Raptors have won their trump match and are currently 6th in the standing with three points.
Playing their second home game in the city, the Pune 7 Aces will be more motivated to come out all guns blazing when they take the court against the Raptors.
