Preview
After getting a flying start to the eighth season of the Pro Kabaddi League, Bengal Warriors have completely let themselves down. The Maninder Singh-led team have lost four of their five previous games resulting in a slide in the standings. They were comfortably beaten 27-39 by Puneri Paltan in the previous game. The captain found himself short of support as his 13 raid points went in vain.
On the other hand, Tamil Thalaivas have turned their fortunes around after a dismal start to the tournament. They now sit at the fourth position in the standings with 27 points from eight games. They have won only three but tied the most number of games (4) so far in PKL 8. In their last game against Haryana Steelers, Thalaivas registered a thumping victory by 19 points (45-26). Manjeet starred for the Thalaiavs with a Super 10 while captain Surjeet chipped in with crucial 8 points.
The clash on Thursday evening will be an interesting one with one team trying to continue their momentum while the other is desperate for a win.
