U Mumba to Face Patna Pirates in Second Play-In of Pro Kabaddi 2025
Patna Pirates will take on U Mumba in the second play-in of Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) 2025 on October 25. It is a do-or-die encounter for both teams, as the winner will progress to the Eliminators while the loser will have to pack their bags and return home.
U Mumba finished sixth in the PKL 2025 points table, securing 10 wins from 18 matches. The Mumbai-based franchise could have comfortably finished in the Top 4 had they defeated the UP Yoddhas in their final league match. Unfortunately, that opportunity slipped away.
On the other hand, the Patna Pirates made a miraculous comeback in the second half of the league stage to finish seventh in the points table. The Pirates won eight out of 18 matches, with a remarkable five victories coming in their last five games. This late surge has given them strong momentum going into the play-in.
With both teams eager to continue their journey in PKL 2025, this clash promises to be a cracker of a contest. Before the second play-in match begins, here’s a look at some key details and insights.
