Bengal Warriors vs Tamil Thalaivas Match Preview: 

Bengal Warriors started off with winning their first two matches but are going through a slump ever since. The defending champions are currently in the 10th position in the points table with 17 points from eight matches. Currently, Bengal are on a 2-match losing streak, including a 17-point defeat against Puneri Paltan in their last fixture.

Surjeet Singh-led Tamil Thalaivas are currently in the fourth position in the points table with 27 points against their name from eight games. The Thalaivas have remained undefeated in their last five encounters. 

The defending champions perfectly started their campaign, winning their first two matches. But things have gone downhill ever since and Bengal has lost five out of their last six matches. The title winners of last season don’t quite look like themselves, with captain Maninder Singh being the lone warrior. 

Tamil Thalaivas on the other hand started off their campaign on a shaky note but thave made a good comeback, all thanks to their rock-solid defence. The Chennai-based franchise would be looking to improve their raiding department to avoid overdependency on Surjeet and other defenders.
