If the first match on day 1 is the tussle between the southern giants, then the second match happens to be the clash of the western giants. These are the two most consistent teams in the history of the league. Both the teams are loaded with star players, some have even represented the national team. For U Mumba, their ever so cool captain will hold the key and try to moderate the game at his pace, whereas from the other end there will be Deepak Hooda and Cheralathan who will go seeking for raid points. Sandeep Narwal is another player Puneri Paltan will be wary of. He was a part of the Patna franchise in the last edition, so for him, it will be a new set-up.
Both the teams will be looking to get the combinations right before they head into the main stage of the league. This year there are 12 teams instead of 8 from the last edition and hence the advertisers are hoping for a revenue fest and Anup Kumar has already made a futuristic statement, where he felt that this sport will pip cricket as the biggest sport in the nation in the next 5 years.
