The Pro Kabaddi League 2024 continues with matchday 60 action at the Badminton Hall in Balewadi Complex, Pune, on Monday, December 18, 2024. The battle for playoffs is in its final stage. Out of 12 teams, only six are still in the hunt for the playoffs, as Haryana Steelers and Dabang Delhi have already qualified, while Gujarat Giants, Tamil Thalaivas, Bengal Warriors, and Bengaluru Bulls have already been eliminated. However, we can get two more confirmed teams for the playoffs on Wednesday if Patna Pirates manage to secure a win over Telugu Titans, as it will take both Patna Pirates and UP Yoddhas straight to the playoffs.
Match 1: Tamil Thalaivas vs Bengal Warriors
In the first match, Tamil Thalaivas will face off against Bengal Warriors in a dead rubber clash. Both teams have struggled throughout the season and are already out of the playoff race, meaning their battle on Wednesday will only determine who finishes higher on the points table.
Tamil Thalaivas vs Bengal Warriors Playing 7 (Probable):
Tamil Thalaivas: Sai Prasad, Sachin Tanwar, Himanshu, Amirhossein Bastami, M Abhishek, Aashish, Nitesh Kumar
Bengal Warriors: Maninder Singh, Pranay Rane, Manjeet, Nitesh Kumar, Mayur Kadam, Siddhesh Tatkare, Fazel Atrachali
