**[City, Date]** – The 47th match of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) season 11 will see the Gujarat Giants clash with the Patna Pirates, two teams with contrasting fortunes so far this season.

While the Gujarat Giants have struggled, finding themselves at the bottom of the points table, the Patna Pirates have been more consistent, currently occupying the sixth position.

The Pirates, three-time PKL champions, have won 4 out of their 7 matches, while the Giants have faced a series of defeats, including a significant 19-point loss to the Puneri Paltan.

**Key Players to Watch:**

* **Gujarat Giants:** Eyes will be on Gujarat’s raiders, **Pratik Dahiya, Rakesh HS, and captain Neeraj Kumar**, hoping to lead the team to victory.
* **Patna Pirates:** The Pirates will be banking on their young raiders, **Devaंक and Ayan**, who have been instrumental in their recent success. Devaंक, who is among the top 5 raiders with the most raid points this season, could also reach a milestone of 100 raid points in this match.

**Team Combinations:**

* **Gujarat Giants:** Pratik Dahiya (Raider), Rakesh HS (Raider), Guman Singh (Raider), Jitender Yadav (Left Corner), D Balaji (Left Cover), Neeraj Kumar (Captain and Right Cover), and Sombeer (Right Corner).

**Key to Victory:**

The Gujarat Giants need a collective effort from their raiders and defenders to turn their fortunes around. The Pirates, on the other hand, need their raiders to maintain their form while also ensuring their defense does not concede too many points.

**Past Encounters:**

The two teams have a history of close encounters, with 13 matches played, Gujarat winning 6 and Patna winning 7.

This match promises to be a tight contest, particularly considering that Gujarat will be looking to even the score after Patna’s double victory in the last PKL season.
