Dabang Delhi K.C. 36-36 Bengaluru Bulls

Oh what a game we have been treated to! One can say that it is arguably the best match ever in PKL history! A game filled with twists and turns, dashes and blocks, touch points and bonuses, emotions and drama! Both sides having a sizeable lead at one stage but the other coming back to wipe it off and level the score. Any other result would have been a travesty of justice. A raid fest but in the end, it was the Delhi defense led by Manjeet Chhillar, who pulled off the unthinkable to prevent Pawan from even crossing the baulk line and putting in a tackle to level the score with just seconds to go on the clock. 

After wiping off an 8-point lead, the Bulls looked to be rampaging as they secured a 10-point lead in the second half, after inflicting an all out. The defense bore a strengthened look and it seemed like the coach's words had an incredible effect on his lads. However, in the dying moments of the game, the Delhi outfit stages a massive comeback courtesy of silly errors in the defense from Bengaluru. As riveting an encounter if there was any. 

40' Naveen Kumar crosses the baulk line and runs down the four seconds on the clock to settle for a tie.

Right then, we have a top-of-the-table clash on our hands as the Dabang Delhi K.C. take on the Bengaluru Bulls. The Delhi outfit sit atop the points table with 54 points from 16 encounters and have nine wins to their name. After struggling in the absence of an injured Naveen Kumar, the youngsters stepped up and took centre-stage to keep the wins coming for Delhi. After winning a couple of encounters, the Delhi side went up against Jaipur Pink Panthers, a match in which Naveen Kumar was seen in action again. However, the Delhi side was tamed as the Pink Panthers registered a six point win, resulting in Vijay's sixteen point effort gong in vain. The side from the capital city of India will be looking to make a roaring comeback and what better way to do that than with a win over the second-placed Bulls. 

The Bengaluru Bulls, like the rivals tonight, have three losses and two wins from their previous five encounters. However, they will be coming into this game on the back of a 5-point win over the U.P. Yoddha. In a game that was dominated by the defense of both sides, Pawan Sehrawat and Bharat wreaked havoc. The return of Saurabh Nandal and Aman in the corners bolstered the Bulls as they edged past UP. Pawan Sehrawat was revived faster in the previous encounter while Bharat took the responsibility of getting the points on his shoulder as well. The Bulls will look to dethrone the Delhi side and claim the top-spot. 

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to Sportskeeda's live coverage of the Pro Kabaddi League, 2022. Dabang Delhi K.C. will lock horns with the Bengaluru Bulls in what is expected to be a riveting contest at the Sheraton Grand, Whitefield, Bengaluru.
