Bengaluru Bulls vs Bengal Warriors Match Preview: 

Bengaluru Bulls were shocked in their first match as they were defeated by 30-46 against U Mumba. However, they bounced back in their second match and registered a victory against Tamil Thalaivas by 38-30. 

Dabang Delhi KC on the other hand have won both their matches – 41-30 against Puneri Paltan in the first match and U Mumba 31-27 in their second match. Dabang Delhi KC were Pro Kabaddi League season 7’s finalists and this time would be looking to go the distance and lift the trophy. 

The defending champions Bengal Warriors have been on a roll in season 8 of the Pro Kabaddi League as they have won both their matches. In the first match, they defeated season 8 ‘favourites’ UP Yoddha by 38-33 and then continued their good run against Gujarat Giants by 31-28. 

Bengal Warriors have displayed a tremendous balance of offence and defence. Meanwhile, Bengaluru Bulls came back from a disheartening defeat against U Mumba in the first match. 

Both teams have a debutant raider in the previous games respectively and would be the players to keep an eye on – Bengaluru Bulls’ Bharat and Bengal Warriors’ Akash Pikalmunde. These two had a fantastic debut and would be hoping to continue the good run.
