Analysis
Bengaluru Bulls are now looking for an extremely solid unit in all departments, despite their captain Pawan Sehrawat not being in the best of forms. However, his 15 points performance against Bengal will give him a lot of confidence. Meanwhile, Haryana have found a new star in form of Meetu Mahender but he will have to repeat his heroics once again if they are to challenge the Bulls in this match.
Conclusion
Although Haryana might have a slight edge in the defensive department with the experience of Surender Nada, the Bulls are way ahead of their opponents offensively with players like Pawan Sehrawat, Chandran Ranjit in addition to Lee Dong-geon.
Prediction
Bengaluru Bulls win
