Hello and welcome to the LIVE coverage of the PKL match between Bengaluru Bulls and Dabang Delhi at Shree Chhatrapati Shivaji Hall in Pune.

It's Naveen Express vs Vikas Kandola. Enough said? No, actually it's Bharat, who has risen to the occasion in crunch moments to bail the Bulls out of trouble. The Bulls have a knack for producing an insipid display in the first half, looking down and out before producing an incredible comeback in the final 10 minutes when the odds were totally against them.

That's what happened in their encounters against U Mumba and Patna Pirates. The Bulls' side is packed with seasoned campaigners and they have a second expensive player in the PKL auction, but their go-to man is Bharat, who has been unstoppable in recent matches. Delhi's defense struggled against the Warriors in the previous match, so Bharat would look to expose them further and runs away with raid points and super raids.

On the other hand, Dabang Delhi has always been a one-man show in recent years and this year is no different. When Naveen goes out of the mat then hardly anyone revives him and that's what happened in their two recent defeats against Pirates and Warriors. Naveen always likes to attack and if the Bengaluru defense keeps him quiet, then they could have an upper hand in this clash.
