Match Analysis

Dabang Delhi KC

Dabang Delhi KC suffered its first defeat of PKL 2022 against the Jaipur Pink Panthers in the previous match. It was a bit of a shock since the Pink panthers have not been very impressive but it also showed just how dependent Dabang Delhi KC has been on Naveen Kumar. With a slight ankle injury slowing him down, Naveen Kumar was not able to dominate like he usually does and was off the mat for large periods of time. This put the onus on the Dabang Delhi KC defense that did not deliver as expected. The backup raiding was quite poor and it almost seemed as if the entire team was just waiting for Naveen Kumar to do his magic. After almost 40 consecutive Super-10's, Naveen Kumar was held to a sub-10 performance and Dabang Delhi KC ended up losing.

This was the second consecutive game that Naveen Kumar was in trouble and we think defenders are starting to realize that they can be a bit aggressive against him. Dabang Delhi KC's safety blanket has been pulled and the team needs to find some other players to step up and support their star.

Bengaluru Bulls

Pawan Kumar Sehrawt is as good of a raider as Naveen Kumar. In fact, there are some that would pick him over Naveen Kumar as a player because of his defensive prowess as well. There is no doubt that the team depends very heavily on the performances of Pawan Kumar Seharawat to be successful, however, he does have more support than Naveen Kumar in the raiding department. Chandran Ranjit, a former Dabang Delhi KC player, is going to have a point to prove in this match. He is one of the best backup raiders in the Pro Kabaddi League and would love to show his former team what they are missing.

The Bengaluru Bulls also do not have a very dependable defense, though. There are a lot of errors being made by the team while making tackles and that is something that they will have to be wary of in this match as well.

Key stat

We are going to watch the top-2 raiders of PKl 2021-22 go up against each other in this match. Naveen Kumar leads all the categories for raiding followed by Pawan Kumar Sehrawat in all of them.

Verdict

We are going to be on the Bengaluru Bulls to win this match. This is a close contest but we think the fact that the Bulls have some more depth in their lineup is going to end up being a crucial difference in this match. Naveen Kumar also seems to be struggling with a slight ankle niggle and that could slow him down.

Bet on the Bengaluru Bulls to win.
