FULL TIME! Telugu Titans 31 - 33 Bengaluru Bulls

A terrific win for the Bulls and they secure their third victory of the tournament by a fine margin. They were better tactically and deserve to get past the finish line. They inflicted another all out on the Titans and took a commanding lead. However, a super raid from Pawan to clean up house brought the Titans back in the game. However, they faltered at the very end as they sink to their sixth loss of the tournament. Spare a thought for the Telugu Titans - they played their hearts out but in the end, they finish on the losing side. The Bulls will take some confidence from this match and that will surely do them a world of good.

HALF TIME! Bengaluru Bulls 16 - 12 Telugu Titans

A game played at a snail's pace as both teams are relying more on their defense and not playing an aggressive brand of kabaddi. The Bulls and Titans are pretty tentative in their approach and are avoiding risking it in the raids. Pawan Sehrawat had picked up 9 points in this contest already and is just one point away from his super 10. He has largely relied on the bonus points but has largely lacked support from other players. As for the Bulls, all players are contributing well and having inflicted the all out too, they will be feeling pretty confident about this lead in a slow-paced game. Which side will emerge on top?

Hello and welcome to Sportskeeda's live coverage of the Pro Kabaddi League, 2023. The thirty-ninth match of the tournament will witness Bengaluru Bulls lock horns with the Telugu Titans at the SDAT Indoor Stadium, Chennai. 

The Bengaluru Bulls have not had the best of campaigns so far, managing just two wins in their campaign so far. After four losses on the trot, they just had gotten going with two wins but faced a hefty loss against the Puneri Paltan in their previous match. Bharat has not been at his best while Vikash Kandola, apart from one game, has not fired. Their defense has not been as settled as they would have wanted it to be and there is plenty left to be desired from the Bulls. It will be interesting to see whether they can get the better of the Titans today. 

The Telugu Titans finally won their first match in the tournament in their last match. They held their nerve and got over the line, with just one point separating the two sides. It was an all-round performance from the Titans and they did exceptionally well to maintain the small lead that they had taken. The defense came to the party and that was the biggest positive for the Titans. Pawan Sehrawat will once again be in the spotlight in this game. 

We are in for an exciting contest and two teams who desperately need a win will be battling it out. Which side will emerge on top? Only time will tell! Sit back, relax and enjoy as I, Maanas Upadhyay, take you through all that unfolds over the course of this contest.
