TEAMS PREVIEW

Bengaluru Bulls Preview

The Bengaluru Bulls have been one of the top sides of the season. They have created lethal combinations in their team. The Bulls rely on a potent combination of good raids and precise tackles. They have been in the top 3 of the points table almost through the season.

Raiders Bharat, Vikash Kandola, and Neeraj Narwal have been efficient as well as consistent. The trio has earned 230 raid points together in 11 games for the Bulls. Apart from the raiders, the defense has also elevated the Bengaluru Bulls stature.

Captain Mahender Singh, Aman, and Saurav Nandal have hunted down opposition raiders with ease. The Bulls have executed 97 successful team raids in 11 games. But the Bulls have also exposed a few weaknesses in some games. Even with a solid defense and entertaining raids, the Bulls have lost steam at crucial moments. They lost to the Haryana Steelers early in the season by just 2 points. It was a low-scoring game where the Steelers inflicted an all-out in the last 5 minutes of the match.

Similarly went down to the Gujarat Fortune Giants by 2 points in their last match. This was a high-scoring game that the Bulls should have pocketed. But a last-minute Super raid by the Fortune Giants turned the tables on the Bulls. 

Even after a few lame attempts, the Bengaluru Bulls look strong and menacing. 

They have conducted 201 successful team raids out of their total 457 team raids.

The Bulls have notched 8 Team Super raids in 11 games. 

They have been “Full Charged Maddi” while inflicting all-outs. They have clocked 21 all-outs which is the highest by any team.

Unfortunately, they have also conceded 17 all-outs. In addition, they have conceded 394 total team points. This means the Bulls live a lavish life on the mat.

They have a wonderful chance to avenge their defeat to the Haryana Steelers earlier in the season.

Haryana Steelers Preview

The Haryana Steelers have been a bit unlucky this season. Without any superstars, they have worked hard on the mat. They have displayed great teamwork but unfortunately, the results say something else.

The Steelers are placed 10th in the points table after playing 11 games. They have been forced to settle for a TIE twice in the last 4 games. They shared the honors with the Puneri Paltan and then with their arch-rivals UP Yodha. The Steelers have gone with a “safety first” concept but it also exposes their inability to deliver the knock-out punch.

The Haryana Steelers are dependent on raiders Meetu Sharma and Manjeet Dahiya for their earnings. Both have performed beyond expectations earning 168 points together in 11 games. The Steelers also have the services of raiders Rakesh Narwal and Vinay who have been given decent performances. But a lethal trio of raiders could not be formed due to which the Steelers are unable to win games.

Defenders Jaideep Dahiya, left cover Mohit Nandal and Iranian Amirhossein Bastami have combined well to earn tackle points. The Steelers have conducted 98 successful team tackles. 

The defense has also inflicted 9 Super tackles in 11 games. 

Unfortunately, the Steelers have conceded 16 all-outs in 11 games while inflicting just 12. 

This has backfired for them in most games which they could not win after being in a dominating position. It’s a long way ahead for the Steelers this season. They have enough opportunities to stage a comeback.

They beat the Bulls in a close contest last time this season and they will expect their team to put up a good show once again.

BB vs HS
Winning Prediction

The Bengaluru Bulls have a decent record against the Haryana Steelers. They have beaten them 4 times out of 7 games though they lost to the Steelers earlier this season. Both teams have exciting players who would like to make a mark for themselves. 

The Haryana Steelers need to win this game desperately in order to help them climb the points table. They have some chinks in their raiding department which need to be sorted. Raiders Meetu and Manjeet will work as a team but the Steelers will feel the heat without a good third raider. Captain Nitin Rawal has not been in great touch and he will give away points with unforced errors.

The Bengaluru Bulls will depend on raider Bharat to loot points. They will use raider Neeraj Narwal in the first half and then unleash Vikash Kandola in the second half to improve their earnings. Defenders Saurav Nandal and Aman will combine well to neutralize either Manjeet or Meetu Sharma. 

This will be another close game for both teams and the match may be decided by the mistakes the team makes in the dying moments of the match.

Bengaluru Bulls will win.
