PKL 12: UP Yoddhas vs Bengal Warriorz prediction, possible starting 7, head-to-head & free live stream

Both teams will be looking for their first win in the Jaipur leg.
Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 (PKL 12) has been spectacular with many closely fought encounters. Tuesday promises to be another exciting day as Bengal Warriorz will face UP Yoddhas. Both teams have a young raiding Unit and will look to dominate against the experienced defenders.
Bengal had a tough loss against Tamil Thalaivas. Thalaivas had a set plan against Devank Dalal, who struggled against Ronak, the right cover defender.
For Yoddhas, they were blown away by the raiding duo of Nitin Dhankar and Ali Choubtarash. It will be an interesting game as both teams will be coming out rectifying their old mistakes.

Players to watch out for
UP Yoddhas – Ashu Singh
Ashu Singh has been one of the investments of UP Yoddhas. He has been with the franchise for six seasons. Despite scoring no points in the previous game, he will feature in the playing seven and will look to tackle Devank Dalal.
The right cover defender would capitalise on his recent struggle. It will be a payback of sorts as both fought hard last year.
Bengal Warriorz – Nitesh Kumar
Nitesh Kumar was left out of the game against Tamil Thalaivas, but he is likely to play against the Yoddhas. The right corner defender was synonymous with the Yoddhas for six seasons since its inception.
He knows the style of play adopted by them and will be key to tackling the opposition and the raiders on the day of the game.

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