U Mumba vs Bengal Warriors Prediction:
Bengal Warriors have a better chance of winning this match against U Mumba.
The key battle of this match will be between the U Mumba’s star-raider Abhishek Singh and Bengal Warriors’ defence. Abhishek started off his PKL season 8 campaign by scoring 19 raid points in the opening match. However, he has gone cold since and has failed to perform up to the expectations in the absence of V Ajith Kumar.
The Bengal Warriors’ defence have also been inconsistent so far in PKL season 9 and this match would probably come down to how Warriors’ defenders deal with Mumba raiders.
