Telugu Titans vs Bengal Warriors Match Preview: 

Telugu Titans are at the bottom of the table with no victories in the nine matches they have played. Titans have registered seven losses and a couple of draws in this season. Telugu Titans lost their last match against U.P. Yoddha by 33-39 and are currently on a 5-match losing streak. 

Defending champions Bengal Warriors are placed on the eighth spot on the points table with 25 points from ten matches. Warriors have registered four wins and five losses in these matches, while their last fixture, against U Mumba, ended in a tie. A win against Telugu Titans will see the Warriors move up to the sixth spot on the points table. 

The Telugu Titans disastrous season 8 campaign has most probably finished their chances of qualification to the next stage. Star-raider Siddharth ‘Bahubali’ Desai is still expected not to play this match as he is undergoing rehabilitation. 

Bengal Warriors registered 3 match points from their tie against U Mumba. Over-dependency on raider Maninder Singh is a huge concern for coach BC Ramesh. Bengal maintained their stronghold over Mumbai throughout the match but let slip of the momentum in the closing minutes of the match.
