The Bengal Warriors will meet the Tamil Thalaivas in the 51st match of the Pro Kabaddi League 2021. The defending champions will come into this match after suffering losses in their previous two matches.
The Warriors first lost to the Haryana Steelers before Puneri Paltan handed them their second straight defeat. Paltan won the match 39-27 which took place a couple of days back. For the Warriors, bringing an end to their two-match losing streak has become a lot tougher as they are set to face unbeaten Tamil Thalaivas in their upcoming match.
The Tamil Thalaivas are unbeaten in their last five matches. The team will enter this fixture on the back of a crushing win over the Haryana Steelers in their previous fixture. The Surjeet Singh-led team won the match 45-26.
The defending champions, the Bengal Warriors, are tenth in the Pro Kabaddi points table with three wins and five losses from eight matches they have played in the PKL this season. They will be hoping to win the match and move up the points table.
The Tamil Thalaivas, on the other hand, have three wins, one loss, and have four ties from the eight matches they have played so far.

Bengal Warriors skipper Maninder Singh failed to find support in the raiding department in the previous match and had to single-handedly carry the burden of scoring points for the team. All-rounder Nabibaksh was also kept quiet in the last game. The Pro Kabaddi team will be hoping to bounce back and end their two-match losing streak.
Meanwhile, the Tamil Thalaivas finally gained some momentum in the previous game against the Haryana Steelers. The Thalaivas will be hoping to continue their fine form from the previous match and inflict a third straight loss on the defending champions.
Prediction: The Tamil Thalaivas are expected to win the match based on their current form.
