Pro Kabaddi 2022 LIVE Score, Bengal Warriors vs Telugu Titans: PKL 9 Live Updates and Commentary, Pro Kabaddi Match 85

FULL TIME! Bengal Warriors 36-28 Telugu Titans

Bengal Warriors with an important win to their name as Telugu Titans lose another game on the trot. After a game of even halves, Bengal Warriors turned the tide in their favor in the second half courtesy of some scintillating defending and Maninder Singh's raids upfront. 

Maninder and Shrikant combined to score 18 points upfront while Girish Ernak and Shubham Shinde both bagged 3 points each with their tackle points. The individual numbers look good for Telugu Titans as well - 9 points from Abhishek Singh and 8 from Sidharth Desai in the raiding department. 

Parvesh Bhainswal has a High Five to his name. But, the juncture at which the points came proved to be the difference. While Bengal Warriors inflicted two All Outs, the Titans were unable to inflict a single one. And that, ladies and gentlemen settled the tie. That will be all from your host Abhishek! But don't go anywhere as the third match of the night between Gujarat Giants and Bengaluru Bulls start in no time.

Read Sportskeeda's prediction for the match! 

A fan of fantasy sports and need a last minute help to make your team? Fret not, Sportskeeda has it figured for you. 

Hello and welcome to Sportskeeda for the live coverage of today's PKL 2022 Match 85 Bengal Warriors vs Telugu Titans. This is your host Abhishek Kundu, and I will be your eyes and ears for the contest. The match should kick off at 08:30 PM IST.

Bengal Warriors occupy the eighth spot with 37 points from 13 matches while Telugu Titans are positioned at the bottom of the pile with 9 points from 14 games. The Warriors suffered a 16 point defeat in their previous match. The case was no different for the Titans who fell behind by 11 points against Bengaluru Bulls. 

The chances look slim for both the clubs to reach the playoffs but Warriors and Titans will put their best foot forward to gain the upper hand in the contest. Maninder Singh is picking Super 10s for fun but has lacked support from his secondary raiders. It becomes imperative for the likes of Deepak Niwas Hooda and Shrikant Jadhav to support him. 

The problem for the Titans is no different as the injury to Rajnish has put a heavy burden on Siddharth Desai in the raiding department. Surjeet Singh is doing his part in the defensive department, but his colleagues need to step up. 

All said and done, exciting kabaddi action waits for you in a few minutes from now. Stay tuned...
