PKL 12: Bengal Warriorz vs U Mumba prediction, possible starting 7, head-to-head & free live stream

Bengal Warriorz will look to maintain their winning momentum in PKL 12 against U Mumba.

It is the final match of the Chennai leg of Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 (PKL 12), as the caravan format will move to Delhi for the fourth and final leg of the league phase. The final game will see two former champions battling it out against each other for the all-important two points.

Both teams will aim for a win for different reasons. U Mumba would want to finish in the top two of the points table. For Bengal Warriorz, it’s a battle of survival as they are nowhere close to making it to the playoffs.

They may not be far away in terms of points, but they are awfully out of form and would want to register a couple of wins to sneak into the top eight, as the new format allows eight teams to qualify for the playoffs.

Players to watch out for

Bengal Warriorz – Himanshu Narwal

While Devank Dalal has been doing the bulk of the scoring for Bengal Warriorz this season, the last game saw Himanshu Narwal contribute equally against the Delhi defense.

His super raid in the first half was one of the highlights of the game. The Season 7 champions would want him to continue the same against U Mumba, whose defense is equally potent on the mat.

U Mumba – Ajit Chouhan

Ajit Chouhan was one of the finds for U Mumba last season with a stunning debut year. He was expected to play a bigger role, but the left raider hasn’t lived up to the expectations.

It was heartening to see him find some rhythm in the game against Puneri Paltan. Despite the loss, the team would be happy with his performance and would expect him to do well against the Warriorz.

Possible starting 7

Bengal Warriorz – Devank Dalal, Shivansh Thakur, Manjeet, Parteek, Ankit, Ashish Malik, Himashu Narwal.

U Mumba –  Sandeep, Amirmohammad Zafardanesh, Parvesh Bhainswal, Sunil Kumar, Ajit Chouhan, Rinku Sharma, Lokesh Ghosliya.

Match Prediction

U Mumba have an all-round side and will look to end the Chennai leg on a positive note. They will fancy their chances against Devank Dalal and Bengal Warriorz.
