First half

Pro Kabaddi League's inaugural champion Jaipur Pink Panthers will kick-start its season against U Mumba. The Panthers finished a disappointing fifth in their Zone A qualifier. U Mumba, who squandered a winning position in the dying seconds of its opening match against Puner Paltan to come away with a draw, will be hoping to take all five points tonight.

For Tamil Thalaivas the home leg seems to taking an all too familiar turn after its impressive opening game win. The Thalaivas have lost its last two matches with their defensive structure exposed by both UP Yoddha and Telugu Titans. The Ajay Thakur-led side will take on Bengaluru Blasters tonight.

Here's Amal John's preview on tonight's encounters.
