The Bengal Warriorz and the Puneri Paltan go head-to-head in the 23rd match of Pro Kabaddi 2024 on Tuesday, October 29. The Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad will host the contest.
The Warriorz enter the match on the back of a thrilling 31-31 tie against U Mumba, with Mayur Kadam's clutch tackle on Rohit Raghav on the last raid of the match garnering two vital points for Fazel's side. With a win, loss, and a tie each in their first three matches, the Warriorz will look to get a move on with a positive result in this match.
However, that's easier said than done against the defending champions Puneri Paltan. They come into this match on the back of a convincing 36-22 win over the Bengaluru Bulls with the entire team delivering the goods in another balanced performance.

BEN vs PUN Dream11 Team Prediction Top Picks, Pro Kabaddi 2024, Match 23
Raider - Sushil Kambrekar
Bengal Warriorz's third raider Sushil Kambrekar could be a solid Dream utility player for those looking for one. While he's naturally not as good a pick as Mohit Goyat, Nitin Kumar, or Maninder Singh, he's a great choice for someone looking to free up funds for another expensively priced Dream11 asset in this fixture.
Defender - Gaurav Khatri
Puneri Paltan right corner Gaurav Khatri has been the best defender of PKL 11, registering 18 tackle points in four matches, pretty much averaging a High 5 every other game. He's a Dream11 must-have in that defender position.
All-Rounder - Aslam Inamdar
Aslam Inamdar is the backbone of this Puneri Paltan team, and very rarely is there a game where he doesn't contribute significantly, either in raid or in defense. With every member of that Pune defense well-versed in defending, Aslam is a perfect all-rounder with impeccable raiding abilities and a good eye for a tackle. He's a Dream11 must-have.

BEN vs PUN Expert Tips for Pro Kabaddi 2024
Early signs suggest this could be another routine win for the Paltan, but the Bengal Warriorz do have a strong side that could cause problems for any team. After the Thalaivas' win over the Paltan, we have to be wary of overloading on Puneri players in case another surprise defeat comes their way.
The usual suspects Gaurav Khatri, Mohit Goyat, and even Aslam are solid options, with Fazel the standout pick from the Warriorz. The toss-up between Maninder and Nitin Kumar will be crucial as it's hard to pick both of them plus Mohit Goyat and build a balanced team.
Gaurav Khatri, Mohit Goyat, Aslam, and Fazel are the top picks for captaincy.
