Match Analysis

Bengal Warriors

The loss to Puneri Paltan in its previous outing would have really hurt the Bengal Warriors team. They were the overwhelming favorite to win that match but it never seemed like they were even in the contest. The Bengal Warriors had one of their worst every defensive performance as only one defender picked up two points in that match. Sure. Maninder Singh got another Super-10 to his name but that was meaningless in the larger scheme of things. Mohammad Nabibakhsh has slowed down after a fantastic start to the season and it looks like the current lineup of the Bengal Warriors is not going to be good enough to make the playoffs.

Going up against a form team like the Tamil Thalaivas is a very tough ask for the Bengal Warriors right now.

Tamil Thalaivas

The Tamil Thalaivas crushed the Haryana Steelers in their previous match and got even closer to the top-3 teams in the PKL 2021-22 standings. Ith Dabang Delhi KC faltering, there is an opportunity for the Tamil Thalaivas to press on further and even overtake Dabang Delhi KC with a win in this match. That would be a huge achievement for a young team like the Tamil Thalaivas and it may add some pressure on them in this contest.

Leading the way is going to Manjeet, their lead raider who has been just brilliant so far. He uses his height and speed to put every single defender at risk whenever he is on the mat. Also, the Tamil Thalaivas have one of the best defenses in the entire league. Surjeet Singh and Sagar have been just ruthless and brought down opposing raiders with ease. In current form, the Tamil Thalaivas really do match up very nicely against the Bengal Warriors.

Key stat

The Tamil Thalaivas have the second-best average tackle points (11.25) per match while the Bengal Warriors have the second-worst with just 7.75 tackle points per match.

Verdict

We are going to bet on the Tamil Thalaivas to win. Momentum and current form are huge in the Pro Kabaddi League and while we would not want to count out the Bengal Warriors, the Tamil Thalaivas do look superior to them in every aspect of the game so far.

Bet on the Tamil Thalaivas to win.
