Eliminator 1: Jaipur Pink Panthers vs Patna Pirates
The new knockout format of Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 has kicked off with a bang, delivering two thrilling encounters on the opening day. Now, the excitement intensifies as two powerhouse sides — Patna Pirates and Jaipur Pink Panthers — lock horns in a do-or-die clash on Sunday for a spot in the next stage.
Three-time champions Patna Pirates stunned everyone by toppling the formidable U Mumba outfit in their play-in fixture. Their all-round performance and fearless approach under pressure showed glimpses of the champion mentality that once made them the most dominant team in PKL history.
On the other side, defending champions Jaipur Pink Panthers displayed grit and composure in their nail-biting win over Haryana Steelers. With Aryan Kumar leading the defence and Nitin Kumar delivering crucial raid points, Jaipur edged past Haryana in the dying seconds of the match.
With both teams coming off intense contests, fatigue and mental resilience will play a key role in determining Sunday’s outcome. Patna’s aggressive raiding unit will face a stern test against Jaipur’s disciplined defensive wall. Only one side will survive — and a single mistake could end a season’s dream. Expect another edge-of-the-seat Kabaddi showdown as the Pirates and Panthers battle to keep their PKL 12 campaign alive.
