A blockbuster clash will feature on Sunday when two southern heavyweights face off in the first mini-qualifier of the Pro Kabaddi League.

PKL 12 introduces a new format that gives teams higher up the points table an easier path to the finals. The Mini-Qualifier will see Bengaluru Bulls up against Telugu Titans in an all-southern Derby.

The Bulls have proven their potential with a young and inexperienced team, finishing 3rd. On the other hand, Telugu Titans are the only team in the top eight without a PKL trophy and would want to end the drought this season.

Both teams have young defensive units and will look to play aggressively, as the losing team will have another chance to make it to the final. It will be an interesting encounter as both teams will look to secure their place in the next round.
