Bengal Warriors Preview

The Bengal Warriors, since Maninder Singh's return from injury, have shown improvement but struggled to secure victories. However, they finally broke through with a statement win against the table-topping Haryana Steelers, defeating them 39-32. Maninder Singh led the raiding department with 11 raid points (8 touch, 3 bonus), while Pranay Rane contributed with 6 raid points (5 touch, 1 bonus).

On the defensive end, Mayur Kadam excelled with 5 tackle points. Manjeet and captain Fazel Atrachali, the cover and corner defenders respectively, each picked up 3 tackle points. Siddesh Tatkare added 2 tackle points.

The Warriors still have an outside chance of qualifying for the playoffs, but they must win all their remaining matches. Against the Titans, their focus should be on limiting the impact of Vijay Malik, who has scored 40% of the Titans' points in every game. If the Warriors can successfully neutralize Malik and unleash Maninder Singh's power and dominance, they will be a formidable opponent.

The Warriors this season, on average, score 33.53 points and concede 37.8 points per game. Their raiding unit is averaging 20 raid points per game, the fourth-best this season, and their defense is averaging 10.33 tackle points per game, ranked 10th. Nitin Dhankar, with 118 raid points, and Fazel Atrachali, with 44 tackle points, are the top performers for the Warriors in the season so far.

The Bengal Warriors, rejuvenated by Maninder Singh's return, are poised to dominate the struggling Telugu Titans.
