Patna Pirates vs. U Mumba Match Preview
Previous h2h results show a contrast to the form these two teams are currently in. U Mumba has been overly predominant in clashes between the two sides, managing to beat the Pirates in 4 of their last 5 meetings. It is however worth noting that going back 10 games, the Pirates managed to salvage 4 wins, U Mumba got 6, bringing total wins to a difference of only 2 in those games. Patna Pirates have a game in hand and will go into this match looking for a win that will put them right on top of 2nd placed Bengaluru. U Mumba are sure to put a fair fight as they too could rise to 2nd after a win here. Expect a tight match, but all odds point to a Patna Pirates’ win.
