Players to watch out for

Bengaluru Bulls

Akash Shinde will rejoin coach BC Ramesh at Bengaluru Bulls, having spent successful seasons with Puneri Paltan.

The 24-year-old has taken up the responsibility of vice-captaincy and will be the lead raider for the season six champions. If the left raider could hit the straps, then the Bulls would be a force to reckon with.

Puneri Paltan

Aslam Inamdar returns to lead the Puneri Paltan, having missed out last year due to injury. The Season 10 champions missed the services of the all-rounder last season, and he will look to start afresh for the season. The all-rounder will be key to Pune’s chances.

Possible starting 7

Bengaluru Bulls – Ankush Rathee, Alireza Mirzaian, Manish Dhull, Akash Shinde, Sanjay Dhull, Pankaj, Yogesh Dahiya.

Puneri Paltan – Gaurav Khatri, Aslam Inamdar, Abinesh Nadarajan, Sachin Tanwar, Gurdeep Sangawan, Pankaj Mohite, Mohd. Aman.

Match Prediction

Puneri Paltan are a settled unit and will start as favorites. Bulls have assembled a star-studded line-up, and it will be an overwhelming challenge to find the winning combination in the first game.
