Match 14: Bengaluru Bulls vs Bengal Warriors
Date: 12 October 2022
Time: 7:30 PM IST
Venue: Shree Kanteerava Indoor Stadium, Bengaluru
Probable 7s:

Bengal Warriors: Maninder Singh, Vaibhav Garje, Balaji D, Deepak Hooda, Shriknat Jadhav, Shubham Shinde, Girish Maruti
Team Analysis:
Bengaluru Bulls have won both of their matches so far in the ninth edition of the Pro Kabaddi League. While they defeated Telugu Titans in their first game, they outclassed Puneri Paltan in the second match. However, both of their matches have been close affairs. In their last game against Puneri Paltan, Vikash Kandola (11 points) and Bharat (12 points) wreaked havoc by scoring 23 points together. But it was the solid defence that won Bulls the game. Everyone chipped in and the Mahender Singh-led side walked away with a 41-39 win.
On the other hand, Bengal Warriors made a brilliant recovery from their defeat against Haryana Steelers in their opening fixture and registered a comprehensive victory (45-25) over Telugu Titans. Maninder Singh led from the front like he has been doing over the seasons. He got great support from Deepak Hooda (11 points) and Shrikant Jadhav (7 points). The defence also ensured that opposition raiders don’t walk away with too many points.
Match 15: Dabang Delhi vs UP Yoddhas
Date: 12 October 2022
Time: 8:30 PM IST
Venue: Shree Kanteerava Indoor Stadium, Bengaluru
Probable 7s:
Dabang Delhi: Naveen Kumar, Manjeet, Vishal, Ravi Kumar, Ashu Malik, Krishan Sandeep Dhull
UP Yoddhas: Pardeep Narwal, Ashu Singh, Shubham Kumar, Surender Gill, Durgesh Kumar, Nitesh Kumar, Sumit
Team Analysis:
Defending champions Dabang Delhi have carried their form and dominance from last season to this season as well as they sit at the top of the points table with a score difference of 34 points. Their captain Naveen Kumar has also continued his form as he bagged a massive 15 points in his team’s last game against Gujarat Giants. On the back of his dominance and some support from Manjeet, Ashu Malik, and Krishan, Dabang Delhi crushed Gujarat 53-33.
Meanwhile, UP Yoddhas suffered a defeat at the hands of U Mumba as they could not put on a good fight. Pardeep Narwal has lost his charm ever since he made a move to UP as the raider has not scored those big points, he is famous for. Surender Gill also looked out of touch as he scored only four points. Nevertheless, the Yoddhas will be expected to level up their game when they meet Delhi on Wednesday.
