PKL 11: Bengaluru Bulls vs Gujarat Giants Predicted 7, team news, head-to-head & free live stream

Bengaluru Bulls sit at the bottom of the PKL 11 points table.

Pardeep Narwal-led Bengaluru Bulls will take on Gujarat Giants in match 89 of the Pro Kabaddi 2024 (PKL 11) as they kick off the third and final league of the tournament at the Balewadi Sports Complex in Pune. Earlier in PKL 11, Gujarat Giants defeated Bengaluru Bulls.

With record-breaking Pardeep Narwal returning to the outfit, Bengaluru Bulls had expected a more fruitful season. However, after only two wins from 15 matches, they were the first team to be rendered out of the playoff race. They sit at the bottom of the table and will look for a better performance in the final leg, mostly to disrupt the chances of the other outfits.

On the other hand, Gujarat Giants have struggled in PKL 11 but have turned their campaign around with some time in hand. They now sit at the 11th spot in the table with two wins and a draw in their last five matches. As they look to book their playoff spot, they would like to kick off the Pune leg with a win.
