TEAMS PREVIEW

Bengal Warriors Preview

The Bengal Warriors are having a horrendous season so far despite being the only team to be averaging and consistently scoring 40 points per game. In their last outing against the Gujarat Giants, the Warriors lost the game 47-40, again a one-man show from Devank Dalal, who finished with 25 raid points while the rest of the team failed.

The Warriors are one of the best offensive teams this season; in fact, they are the only team to average close to 28 raid points per game, and no other team is even close to them. Devank Dalal has done the bulk of the scoring with 181 raid points in 10 matches, averaging a staggering 18.1 raid points per game.

The biggest problem for Bengal this season has been their defense, where they are ranked 11th, scoring just 8 tackle points per game, that too at a highly inefficient rate. Ashish Sahdev Malik has been the lone star with 33 tackle points in 9 matches, while the rest of the defense has been highly inconsistent.

Dabang Delhi K.C. Preview

Dabang Delhi KC are on a phenomenal run this season, having won 11 of the 12 matches played. In the last match against the Haryana Steelers, Delhi managed to clinch the win in the tie-breaker, 9-3, courtesy of Fazal Atrachali's magic in the final minutes. On a night where Ashu Malik struggled, Ajinkya Pawar stepped up with 8 raid points, while Neeraj Narwal scored 6 raid points and Saurabh Nandal stepped up with 6 tackle points.

On the offensive end, Dabang Delhi KC have, on average, scored 21 raid points per game this season, led by Ashu Malik with 146 raid points in 12 matches, averaging close to 12 raid points per game. Ajinkya Pawar is slowly getting back to his usual best and has done a phenomenal job as the team's secondary raider.

When it comes to defense, no other team can come close to Dabang Delhi KC's experience and their clutch game. They are scoring close to 11 tackle points per game this season and are amongst the top five defensive teams. Fazel Atrachali (38 tackle points) and Saurabh Nandal (34 tackle points) are the top two defenders for Delhi this season.
