Dabang Delhi K.C.
An exciting tie against the Bengal Warriors was the last match that Dabang Delhi K.C. played. It was a match that seemed to be going the Bengal Warriors way before Naveen Kumar starting scoring points rapidly in the second half of the game.
His ability to score freely against all opponents and particularly in the second half of the match is what has helped Dabang Delhi K.C. win a number of close games. Chandran Ranjit has also been very effective at getting points for his side and if Dabang Delhi K.C. can find a way to get Meraj Sheykh back into form then they could have an even more formidable team.
The defense has been led by Joginder Narwal with very good support from Vishal Mane, Ravinder Pahal, and Saeid Ghaffari.
Dbang Delhi K.C. is looking like a title contender this season and could be the first team to break the home team curse.
Bengaluru Bulls
Word has gotten around the PKL that the defending champions are vulnerable this season. Get Pawan Kumar Sehrawat and you will get the Bengaluru Bulls. A lack of support for Pawan Kumar Sehrawat is fat becoming a big weakness for the Bulls.
Opposition defense has started attacking Pawan Kumar Sehrawat knowing that if they can keep him off the mat then the Bengaluru Bulls are going to struggle massively.
Rohit Kumar has been a pale shadow of the player he was last season.
The defense for the Bengaluru Bulls is also finding it difficult to keep the sort of momentum they showed early on. Mahender Singh is struggling although Saurabh Nandal has stepped up quite well for his side.
The Bengaluru Bulls are very dangerous and cannot be counted out but they have shown in this season of the PKL that they cannot be relied upon either.
Dabang Delhi K.C. leads the head to head between the two sides by a narrow margin of 6-5. Dabang Delhi K.C. also has the best winning percentage at home of any side in the league.
We think Dabang Delhi K.C. is a better-rounded side than the Bengaluru Bulls this season. The matchup between Naveen Kumar and Pawan Kumar Sehrawat is going to be a lot of fun to witness but eventually one where Naveen Kumar is going to prevail.
Bet on Dabang Delhi K.C. to win.
