Head to head
Bengaluru Bulls and Puneri Paltan have met in 14 Pro Kabaddi matches. Bengaluru Bulls have won six of these 14 games, while Puneri Paltan have won eight.
Player to watch out for
Vikas Khandola didn't have the best of starts for the Bulls but he would hope to get better results in game 2. On the other hand for Paltan, Mohit Goyat would be under the spotlight.
Key to success
For Bulls to win the game their defense will have to stop the likes of Mohit Goyat and Aslam Inamdar. Paltan's defense in the absence of Fazel played well in the first game so they'd hope to continue the same momentum in game 2.
