PKL 11: Key battles to watch out for in Match 76, U Mumba vs Bengaluru Bulls

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

U Mumba will face Pardeep Narwal’s Bengaluru Bulls in match 76 of the Pro Kabaddi 2024 (PKL 11) at the Noida Indoor Stadium.

U Mumba are the favorites coming into this match and are placed in the upper half of the table. They have enjoyed a better run of form coming into this fixture having won five of their last seven matches but were on the receiving end of a defeat in their last game.

On the other hand, Bengaluru Bulls have just not clicked in together this season. Things have gone from bad to worse for the Bulls and everything has fallen apart for them until now. With just 15 points they are at the bottom of the PKL 11 points table. On this note, let’s look at the list of three key battles from the match between U Mumba vs Bengaluru Bulls in the PKL 11.

Ajit Chouhan vs Nitin Rawal

Ajit Chouhan has been U Mumba‘s sensation this season and has scored a massive 102 raid points in just 12 PKL 11 matches. His lightning-fast moves have made him a nightmare for defenders and the raider doesn’t seem to stop. Chouhan is averaging 8.41 raid points per match with 65.16% successful raids.

Nitin Rawal is the sole player from the side of Bengaluru Bulls who has demonstrated character and dominated the opponents at several stages during the match. His tackle points count stands at 47 and he certainly can be the difference-maker for Bengaluru Bulls in this match.

If Rawal can keep the in-form Ajit Chouhan off-court for maximum time, then the pressure factor would get the upper hand, and the experienced side of Bengaluru Bulls might have an opportunity to shine in this match.

Pardeep Narwal vs Rinku

Pardeep Narwal was brought into the Bengaluru Bulls with huge expectations. He hasn’t given much to the team yet in PKL 11. But if he can regain his rhythm and perform according to his status, he can cause a lot of devastation to the opponents. This is exactly what he needs against U Mumba If Narwal can create mayhem in Bengaluru Bulls’s defence he can get his team into the match.

For U Mumba, Rinku has been good in defensive form and contributed 26 crucial tackle points in PKL 11 this season. His defensive skills could be critical in taking away Narwal’s raiding possibilities. This individual battle might well determine the outcome of the match, as Narwal would have to take bonus points and get out of Rinku to give Telugu Titans an opportunity to win the match.

Pankaj vs Amirmohammad Zafardanesh

Pankaj has been a forerunner and managed to score 20 points in the match and contributed 2.42 raid points per game. His all-round skills will be crucial as he looks to add more points against U Mumba.

On the other hand, Amirmohammad Zafardanesh has his style. With 33 raid points and 19 tackle points, the man is a great all-rounder – he can lead raids as well as defend strongly.
