Puneri Paltan vs Tamil Thalaivas, PKL 2022 Semifinal: Predicted Staring 7, Dream11 Prediction, Head-to-Head

Puneri Paltan earned a direct entry into the semifinal as a result of finishing second in the PKL 2022 points table, while history-making Tamil Thalaivas defeated UP Yoddhas in the eliminator to reach the last 4 for the first time in their history.

Both Puneri Paltan and Tamil Thalaivas will be aiming to keep their hopes of the elusive title alive, but at the end of the day only one team will get closer to their first-ever PKL title triumph.

The raiding department for Pune is stacked with Aslam Inamdar, Akash Shinde, Mohit Goyat, Pankaj Mohite and Aditya Shinde along with occasional assists from the Iranian Mohammad Nabibakhsh.

The Pune defence is led by the skipper and seasoned campaigner from Iran Fazel Atrachali, who is the best defender in PKL history. Atrachali is supported by the likes of Sombir, Sanket Sawant and Abhinesh Nadarajan.

Tamil Thalaivas, on the other hand, will pin their hopes on raiding duo Narender Hoshiyar and Ajinkya Pawar, but it will be their defence that is made up of Sahil Gulia, Abhishek M, Arpit Saroha, Himanshu and Mohit need to be at the top their game for Thalaivas to even the contest.

The winner of the semifinal 2 will face the winner of semifinal 1 between Jaipur Pink Panthers and Bengaluru Bulls in the PKL 2022 Final on Saturday (December 17).

My Dream11 Team: Arpit Saroha (Defender – Thalaivas), Abhishek M (Defender – Thalaivas), Aslam Inamdar (vice captain/Raider – Paltans), Mohammad Nabibakhsh (All Rounder – Paltans), Akash Shinde (Raider – Paltans), Narender (captain/Raider – Thalaivas), Fazel Atrachali (Defender – Paltans)

Puneri Paltan vs Tamil Thalaivas Prediction

Stacked in every department, Puneri Paltan head into the match as favourites. Only way Thalaivas can continue their dream is by an all-round team effort and mostly by how their defence performs on the night. If the Pune raiders are kept quiet and the Thalaivas counterparts have a good outing, the match will be closely contested or else the Paltans will be too much to deal with for the first-time semifinalists Thalaivas.
