Bengal Warriors vs Jaipur Pink Panthers Match Preview:
Bengal Warriors had a good start to PKL season 8 as they won their first two matches. However, things have gone downhill for the defending champions as they lost the next 3 matches. Bengal are currently placed 10th in the points table with 11 points to their name in five matches and would be looking to bounce back in this match.
Jaipur Pink Panthers started season 8 with a loss and then managed to win two consecutive matches. However, they were defeated by U Mumba in their last and would be eyeing a win in this match. Jaipur are currently placed just above Bengal Warriors, on the 9th spot with 11 points in 4 matches.
The defence has emerged as the primary weakness for the defending champions Bengal Warriors. Even though the raiding department is headed by captain Maninder Singh, who has been emphatic, the defence has drastically lagged behind leading to three consecutive losses. Bengal have an average of 7.5 tackle points per match which is the worse for any team in this season.
Jaipur Pink Panthers, much like Bengal Warriors, would also be concerned with their defence. Arjun Deshwal and Deepak Niwas Hooda have combined well to clinch important raid points, the defence averages 8 tackle points per match. Even though it’s not as worrying of concern as it is for Bengal, but Jaipur management would surely look to sort this out soon.
