Bengaluru Bulls vs Jaipur Pink Panthers, Pro Kabaddi (PKL), Today Match Prediction

bb vs jpp Match Prediction & Analysis

It is always a pleasure to watch two top sides collide as it brings out the best in their players. Both teams have had a phenomenal run this season and they will meet once again on the mat. The Jaipur Pink Panthers made quick work of the Telegu Titans earlier in the week, while the Bulls had to work overtime to beat Dabang Delhi. 

Jaipur Pink Panthers have 1 additional victory this season as compared to the Bulls as both teams have remained in the top 3 in the points table. But the Bulls got the better of the Pink Panthers in their first encounter this season. 

If Arjun Deshwal is the best raider, the Bulls have Bharat who has been equally devastating. 

If the Pink Panthers have defender Ankush, the Bulls have Saurabh Nandal who has executed 51 successful tackles in 18 matches. This will be a nail-biter as both teams have the best players on the circuit.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Bengaluru Bulls Preview

The Bulls have set their eyes on another title as they have been consistent and dangerous. They have forged one of the best combinations on the mat which has decimated most of their opponents. The Bulls are tactically strong and they play as per their opponents.

They have had an odd hiccup but otherwise, the Bengaluru Bulls have done well this season. The former champions would be brimming with confidence as they get ready to face the Jaipur Pink Panthers. Raiders Bharat Hooda and Neeraj Narwal have complemented each other while Vikash Kandola has been slightly off-color lately. But the Bulls have used the services of all-rounders Sachin Narwal and Ran Singh Raniya in recent games.

The Bulls have a stable defense mechanism headed by Saurabh Nandal along with Aman, Mahender, and Mayur Kadam. This group has conducted 169 successful team tackles in 18 matches. Raiders Neeraj Narwal has contributed in assists with his lethal ankle holds.

Raider Bharat Hooda is their top raider with 219 raid points in 175 successful raids. This includes 13 Super 10’s as well as 8 Super raids. He scored a mammoth against Dabang Delhi in the last match.

Defender Saurabh Nandal has executed 51 successful tackles and makes him one of the most dangerous defenders on the circuit. Defenders Mahendra Singh and Aman have played an important role while supporting Saurabh Nandal. Both have collectively executed 71 successful tackles. This makes them unbeatable.

The Bulls will be up against a very strong Pink Panthers side. It was a point fest when these two sides collided earlier in the season. The Bulls won the match by a margin of 6 points but that was primarily due to a strategic all-out they inflicted on Jaipur in the second half. The Bulls will plan to repeat the same against Jaipur as a victory in this match could pave the way for the title.

Jaipur Pink Panthers Preview

The Pink Panthers have been one of the top 3 sides of the season. Apart from the Puneri Paltan and the Bengaluru Bulls, the Jaipur Pink Panthers have dominated the mat. The top raider and the top defender of the season belong to the Pink Panthers. This has helped them stay afloat on top of the points table.

But the Pink Panthers have had an odd slide during the season. Earlier in the week, they lost to the Puneri Paltan even after raider Arjun Deshwal scored 19 points in that match. They managed just 3 tackle points in the entire match. These are certain loopholes that the Pink Panther needs to manage as the earliest.

As a team, Jaipur Pink Panthers have executed 313 successful team raids out of their total 753 team raids.

They have executed 184 successful team tackles which is the highest for the season.

They have also inflicted 34 all-outs while conceding just 16 in 18 games.

They have a fantastic team which has been resonating quite well. Raiders Arjun Deshwal, Ajith, and Rahul Chaudhary have formed a wonderful team. Young raiders like Bhavani Rajput and Devank have been useful.

The defense led by their captain Sunil Kumar has been lethal. Left corner Ankush has been the most enterprising defender as he has executed 63 successful tackles in 18 games. 

It is time that the Jaipur Pink Panthers aim for the title. It has been a long time since they have enjoyed that winning emotion. But the battle against the Bengaluru Bulls will not be an easy one. They faltered against them in their first meeting this season. The Jaipur defense will have to be careful as the Bengaluru raiders will go all out to crush them. The Pink Panthers will also have to make sure that Arjun Deshwal is on the mat throughout the match. This will be the toughest match for the Pink Panthers but it will bring out the best in them.
