TEAMS PREVIEW

Bengal Warriors Preview

Bengal Warriors are coming off a hard-fought 40-38 win over last season's finalists, Haryana Steelers. Maninder Singh finally had a breakthrough game, scoring 12 raid points (9 touch and 3 bonus). The defense, led by Fazel Atrachali (4 tackle points), Praveen Thakur (4 tackle points), Mayur Kadam (2 tackle points), and Nitesh Kumar (1 tackle point), was also impressive. Young Sushil Kambrekar contributed 4 raid points.

This combined team effort has improved the Warriors' position on the points table, and they'll aim to build on this momentum against Dabang Delhi KC. The key battle will be between Ashu Malik and Fazel Atrachali. If Fazel can contain Ashu, it will significantly boost the Warriors' chances. The Warriors' raiders will also need to capitalize on Dabang Delhi KC's struggling defense.

This season, the Warriors have averaged 33.8 points per game, conceding 33.8 points per game. Their raiding unit averages 19 points per game, while their defense averages 10.6 tackles per game.

Dabang Delhi K.C. Preview

Dabang Delhi KC find themselves in a difficult situation since Naveen Kumar's injury. They have lost their last four games, most recently a 32-26 loss to U Mumba. In that match, only two players performed well: captain Ashu Malik (11 raid points) and Yogesh Dahiya (6 tackle points). The lack of contributions from other players highlights the depth issues in both the raiding and defensive departments.

Dabang Delhi KC need to improve their defensive performance, particularly from their cover defenders. They have struggled to support their corner defenders, leading to defensive breakdowns. In the raiding department, Vinay Virender will need to be more consistent and provide support to Ashu Malik against the strong Bengal Warriors defense. Rinku Narwal, on the left corner, will be crucial in stopping the Warriors' right raiders.

Dabang Delhi KC's performance has declined recently, averaging 31.85 points per game and conceding 34.85 points per game. Their raiding unit averages 19.43 points per game, while their defense averages a league-worst 8.29 tackles per game. Ashu Malik is the team's top scorer with 75 raid points.

Dabang Delhi KC Probable Starting 7 - Ashu Malik, Vinay Virender, Rinku Narawal, Yogesh Dahiya, Nitin Panwar, Sandeep Deshwal, Ashish
