Players to watch out for

Bengaluru Bulls – Akash Shinde

Bengaluru Bulls invested big in Akash Shinde to lead their raiding unit. He started brilliantly with a Super 10 in the first game against his former team, Puneri Paltan.

But he couldn’t sustain the momentum as he was dropped for a few games. He was brought back in the last match, and he performed well. He would want to contribute more if they had to overcome the Yoddhas.

UP Yoddhas – Mahender Singh

Mahender Singh made his PKL debut with Bengaluru Bulls and played a key role in their title win in the sixth season.

Nicknamed the Bulldozer, he is known for dashing the raiders out of the mat. His tackle strike-rate might have dropped, but he is still as good as any other cover defender. He would like to show it against his former team.

Possible starting 7

Bengaluru Bulls – Satyappa Mutti, Alireza Mirzaian, Sanjay Dhull, Ahmed Reza, Deepak Sankar, Yogesh Dahiya, Aashish Malik

UP Yoddhas – Sumit Sangwan, Gagan Gowda, Mahender Singh, Shivam Chaudhary, Ashu Singh, Bhavani Rajput, Hitesh.

Match Prediction

UP Yoddhas are the favourites against the Bulls. They have depth in their squad, which will be key against the Bulls. The season six champions would want their primary players to play a big role in them winning the game.
