With a place in the final at stake, Dabang Delhi will take on Bengaluru Bulls in the second semi-final of the Pro Kabaddi League 2022 on Wednesday in Bengaluru.
Dabang Delhi entered the semi-finals directly after finishing second in the league, with 12 wins, six losses and four tied games. They have won three of their last four matches, including a 40-32 win over Telugu Titans in their previous fixture.
Bengaluru Bulls, meanwhile, qualified for the playoffs after finishing fifth in the league with 11 wins, nine losses and two tied games. They then bulldozed Gujarat Giants 49-29 in the second eliminator to book their berth in the last four.

Today's PKL Match Prediction
'Naveen Express' hasn't been at his best for Dabang Delhi since returning from injury.
Meanwhile, Vijay will have to bring in more points in the raiding if Delhi want to play their second consecutive final. Moreover, their experienced defence must rein in their unforced errors and advance tackles to neutralise opposition attacks.
Bengaluru Bulls produced a near-perfect performance in the second eliminator. They have now demolished their opposition in two consecutive games. The Bulls will have to keep their feet on the ground to get to another final.
Prediction: Bengaluru Bulls are expected to win.
