PKL 12: Bengaluru Bulls vs Gujarat Giants prediction, possible starting 7, head-to-head & free live stream

Bengaluru Bulls will look to continue their winning momentum in PKL 12 against Gujarat Giants.

It is the final day of the league stages of Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 (PKL 12). Two teams will be up against each other for their own targets at the end of the day.

Bengaluru Bulls against Gujarat Giants will be a closely fought contest on Thursday at the Thyagaraj Indoor Stadium in Delhi. The Bulls will be aiming for a top-four finish, and a win here is crucial for them.

They would hope U Mumba would lose the next game, which would make them finish at fourth place with a better Score Difference. On the other hand, it is a battle for survival for the Gujarat Giants as they not only need a win but also want UP Yoddha and Patna Pirates to lose their matches later in the day.

It is a battle of multiple permutations and combinations for the teams. For fans, they would want to enjoy some exciting Kabaddi action for the day.

Players to watch out for

Bengaluru Bulls – Deepak Sankar

Deepak Sankar was not part of the initial starting 7, but an unfortunate exit of their regular skipper, Ankush Rathee, meant that Deepak had to step up.

The boy from Tamil Nadu has done it brilliantly, playing multiple roles and delivering for the Bulls. Despite playing fewer games, he has been the team’s best defender and will look to get the better of Rakesh and Mohammadreza Shadloui on Thursday.

Gujarat Giants – Lucky Sharma

Gujarat Giants bought Lucky Sharma in the auction for his experience, and the defender has performed well so far. The two-time finalists would want the experienced man to bring his best in the last game.

The Giants’ chances for play-ins still hang in the balance, and Lucky Sharma’s role will be big against the Bulls to seal the place.

Possible Starting 7

Bengaluru Bulls – Akash Shinde, Sanjay Dhull, Satyappa Matti, Alireza Mirzaian, Aashish Malik, Yogesh, Deepak Sankar.

Gujarat Giants – Mohammadreza Shadloui, Lucky Sharma, Himanshu Singh, Rakesh, Nitin Panwar, Ankit Dahiya, Rohit Nandal.

Match Prediction

Bengaluru Bulls will be the clear favourites for the game. They have a balanced team and have performed well in difficult situations. Giants picked up some form in the Chennai leg, but it may not be sufficient against the season six champions.
