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

Tamil Thalaivas will look to maintain their winning momentum in PKL 12 against Bengaluru Bulls.

A blockbuster Southern Derby is set to take place in match 66 of Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 (PKL 12). The home team, Tamil Thalaivas, will square off against Bengaluru Bulls for two crucial points in Chennai.

Tamil Thalaivas registered a win in their previous game against Haryana Steelers. This was their first win in Chennai after seven years, and the victory brought joy to the fans. Bulls had a disappointing result in the last game as they lost to Puneri Paltan in the tie-breaker.

Both teams would want to win the game to end the week on a high note. The Sunday encounter against southern rivals Bengaluru Bulls will be jam-packed with fans hoping for a win for the home team.

Players to watch out for

Tamil Thalaivas – Nitesh Kumar

Tamil Thalaivas are still in the race for the playoffs because of the consistency of Nitesh Kumar. The left corner defender is at the top of the defender charts, bringing down the likes of Vinay and Nitin Dhankhar.

Bulls’ raiders Alireza Mirzaein and Akash Shinde will be wary of Nitesh. If he could continue his consistency, then they could avenge their loss against the Bulls earlier this season.

Bengaluru Bulls – Deepak Sankar

Chennai is a welcoming place for everyone, especially for the boys from Tamil Nadu. Deepak Sankar is the new kid on the block who has impressed everyone and will get huge cheers when he takes on the mat against Thalaivas.

With 30 points from 10 matches, he has shown promise, and playing in front of the home crowd will inspire him to do well.

Possible starting 7

Tamil Thalaivas – Arjun Deshwal, Rohit Beniwal, Arulnantha Babu, Aashish, Nitesh Kumar, Himanshu, Ronak.

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

Match Prediction

Tamil Thalaivas will look to continue their winning run in their home leg. A convincing win against Haryana Steelers boosted their confidence. A win against their arch-rivals, Bengaluru Bulls, will help them reach the top half of the points table.
