It is a doubleheader in the ongoing Pro Kabaddi League on Sunday. While the first panga of the day is between Puneri Paltan and Bengal Warriors, the second on-mat contest will be staged between the Bengaluru Bulls and the UP Yoddha. Two of the four sides in action on Sunday are in the top half of the points tally while the remaining two are languishing at the bottom half.

Their respective opponents on Sunday- Bengal Warriors and UP Yoddha haven't had that much of an impressive campaign so far.

While Bengal Warriors have 17 points from 7 matches and have more defeats (4) than wins (4) against their name, UP Yoddha have fewer points (14) alongside their name but have played a matchless. Will then the favourites taste win this Sunday or we will see a classic underdog story unfold.
