Bengal Warriors Preview

Bengal Warriors led by Fazel Atrachali are on the verge of elimination, they were too close of being knocked out in their last game but a late brilliance from Vishwas S in the dying moments of the game helped the Warriors gain three valuable points. Against the UP Yoddhas the game ended in a nail biting 31-31 tie, where the Warriors struggled in the first half with the scoreline being 15-13. But in the second half, Bengal inflicted an all-out between the 20-30 minute phase and their defense outscored the Yoddhas defense 4-6.

Pranay Rane stepped up and scored his second super 10 of the season, he finished the game with 10 raid points (9 touch & 1 bonus). On the defensive end both the corner defenders did a commendable job, Nitesh Kumar finished with five tackle points against his former team, while Fazel with a late burst ended the game with four tackle points. But the game changer was Vishwas S, who scored five raid points in the last three minutes of the game, he saved the Warriors from an all-out and saved the game. 

The Warriors aim for the sixth spot and for that to happen they will need to win all their four games and only then they can manage to reach a max of 60 points, if Jaipur Pink Panthers win their next game then the Warriors are out of the race.
