FT: Gujarat Giants 37-44 Bengaluru Bulls

It was always a high-scoring match involving these two teams but the Bulls strike at the right time to emerge victorious in this encounter.

Hello and welcome to the LIVE coverage of the PKL 2022 match between Gujarat Giants and Bengaluru Bulls

Bengaluru Bulls have lost four matches this season so far and one of those losses came against the Giants surprisingly. It was a high-scoring thriller last time when these two teams faced, and Parteek's heroic raids were instrumental for the Giants to reign supreme on that day.

Parteek hasn't featured for the Giants since that match-winning performance against the Bulls, and we are yet to know whether he will be ready in time for this clash. Gujarat's defense under-performed in recent matches, and their task only gets harder when they face an in-form Bharat and Neeraj Narwal.
