Bengaluru Bulls square off against Dabang Delhi KC in match 24 of the PKL season 11 on Tuesday, October 29, 2024. The match is scheduled to be played at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad.
Bengaluru Bulls lost their last match against Puneri Paltan (22-36). While Dabang Delhi KC lost their last match against Haryana Steelers (41-34). The Bulls are currently positioned at the bottom of the table with one point in four matches, and on the other hand, Dabang Delhi KC currently stands 5th in the PKL points table with 12 points in four matches.
In their head-to-head history, Dabang Delhi KC holds an upper hand over the Bengaluru Bulls, winning 11 out of 22 matches. The Bengaluru Bulls have won 9 matches and two matches ended in a tie. Bengaluru Bulls won three of their last five h2h contests against the Bulls. The recent matchup between these teams was a 46-38 win for Delhi.
Bengaluru Bulls have lost all four matches they've played so far this season, their latest defeat being a 22-36 loss against Puneri Paltan. The Bulls have struggled as a unit, with inconsistent performances from both their raiders and defenders. When the raiders have been in form, the defenders have failed to contain the opposition raiders, and vice versa.
Pardeep Narwal and Ajinkya Pawar haven't performed up to expectations, being easily tackled by their opponents. Corner defenders Saurabh Nandal and Nitin Rawal have performed well, picking up 10 tackle points each. However, the cover defenders haven't provided adequate support, except for a one-match wonder performance from Surender Singh.
Pardeep Narwal has scored 28 raid points in 4 matches, with 17 of those points coming in a single match. In the remaining three matches, he has managed only 11 raid points. The Bulls need to re-strategise and target the weaker right side of the Delhi defense, which has been vulnerable.
Jai Bhagawan and Akshit Dhull could be given more playing time. If Pardeep Narwal can target the cover defenders instead of the corners, we could see an improved performance. Additionally, if the combination of Nitin Rawal and Surender Singh can effectively tackle Ashu Malik, the Bulls have a real chance of securing their first win of the season.
So far this season, the Bengaluru Bulls have averaged 29.75 points per game, conceding 41.5 points. Their raiding unit averages 18.75 points per game, and their defense averages 9 tackle points per game. Pardeep Narwal is the team's top raider with 28 points, while Sourabh Nandal and Nitin Rawal lead the defense with 10 tackle points each.
Bengaluru Bulls Probable Starting 7 - Pardeep Narwal, Ajinkya Pawar, Jatin Sourabh Nandal, Surinder Singh, Parteek, Nitin Rawal
Dabang Delhi KC lost their last match against the Haryana Steelers by a score of 41-34. Despite being in a strong position, two costly super tackles conceded by Ashu Malik and Naveen Kumar in the second half led to their defeat.
The defense had a subpar performance, managing to secure only six tackle points. However, there was a positive take away from the game: Vinay, a left raider who came off the bench, scored 8 raid points, demonstrating the depth of their raiding unit. Naveen Kumar sustained a right knee injury and may miss the next game, putting additional pressure on team captain Ashu Malik, who has scored 41 raid points so far this season.
None of their defenders are currently ranked among the top 25 defenders in the league. Ashish Malik is their top defender with six tackle points in four matches. So far this season, Dabang Delhi KC has averaged 34.25 points per game, conceding 33.5 points. Their raiding unit averages 20.5 points per game, while their defense averages 8.25 tackle points per game.
Dabang Delhi KC Probable Starting 7 - Vinay Virender, Ashu Malik, Yogesh Dahiya, Ashish, Ashish Malik, Vikrant, Nitin Panwar
Bengaluru Bulls vs Dabang Delhi KC Betting Tips
1. Total Match Points Over 68.5 @ 1.87 (Parimatch)
2. Bengaluru Bulls Total Points Over 31.5 @ 1.83 (Parimatch)
3. Total Raid Points Over 42.5 @ 1.85 (Parimatch)
4. Total Points in 1st Half Over 32.5 @ 1.83 (Parimatch)
While Dabang Delhi KC are favored to win, the absence of Naveen Kumar could tip the scales in Bengaluru Bulls' favor. The Bulls, desperate to break their losing streak, could capitalize on Delhi's weakened raiding unit. If Pardeep Narwal and Ajinkya Pawar can improve their performance and the defense, particularly the corners, can continue their strong form, the Bulls have a real chance of securing their first win of the season.
