The Bulls will be keen to build on the momentum and carry their winning streak forward after a poor start to the season.


Bengaluru Bulls will face Jaipur Pink Panthers in their next clash

Bengaluru Bulls bounced back with strong wins over tough contenders like Patna Pirates and Haryana Steelers. However, they will be up against another solid opponent in their next encounter.

They will face the Jaipur Pink Panthers on Friday, September 12, at the SMS Indoor Stadium in Jaipur. However, the Pink Panthers have not had a great start to their season.

From three games so far, they have managed to win just one and have suffered two consecutive defeats. They will take on the Gujarat Giants in their next clash on September 9, after which they will face the Bulls. Therefore, they will be keen to get a win before they go up against an in-form Bulls side.
