Bengaluru Bulls will aim to return to winning ways

Bengaluru Bulls have lost two close matches on the bounce. Both of their last two defeats have been in tie-breakers. Despite doing well for most, they have been unable to finish games.

They will face the Tamil Thalaivas in their next Pro Kabaddi 2025 clash on Sunday, October 05. The Thalaivas have also lost their previous game. However, they will face the Haryana Steelers on October 03 before their encounter against the Bulls.

Having suffered two close defeats, the Bulls will be eager to release some pressure with a win over the Thalaivas.
