The Bengal Warriorz will take on the UP Yoddhas in the 13th match of Pro Kabaddi 2024 on Thursday, October 24, at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad.
Bengal would think they should've gotten the win against Jaipur, but defensive errors galore allowed Arjun Deshwal's side to come out on top with a scoreline of 39-34. Fazel Atrachali would want his side to do better defensively and get their first win of the season tonight.
Meanwhile, the Yoddhas have started this season well and look like a well-rounded outfit, with quality in both raiding and defensive departments. They thrashed the Bengaluru Bulls 57-36 in their last match and will target a hat-trick of wins.

Let's look at three Dream11 surprise picks for tonight's match.
#3 Mayur Kadam (DEF) (BEN) (13.5 Credits)
Mayur Kadam had a tough outing against Jaipur and made quite a few errors, conceding easy points to Arjun Deshwal and Abhijeet Malik. However, the right-cover defender seems to have the backing of the team, and for good reason.
Mayur came in as an injury replacement for Neeraj Kumar for the Patna Pirates last season and impressed, scoring 22 tackle points in just nine games. He's a fearless defender who'll always back himself to go for a tackle, and while that may result in a few errors, he rarely fails to get a few tackle points.
He's a Dream11 surprise pick who could really benefit your teams.
#2 Bhavani Rajput (RAI) (UP) (13.5 Credits)
UP Yoddhas' third raider Bhavani Rajput could be an extremely impactful Dream11 surprise pick in this match. He was their best raider and the difference-maker in a tight win over Dabang Delhi KC in their first match, but as Surender Gill and Bharat found form in their second outing, he had a quiet game.
Bhavani Rajput has been in the PKL since Season 8 and was a valuable utility raider for Jaipur, scoring more than 150 raid points across the last three seasons. Against a decent Bengal defense, Rajput could get ample opportunities to go in to raid, and he could well produce a repeat of his performance against Delhi, earning his backers some handy Dream11 points.
#1 Nitesh Kumar (DEF) (BEN) (14 Credits)
Bengal Warriorz's new right-corner Nitesh Kumar would definitely want to get one over his former franchise, the UP Yoddhas. Nitesh is a UP Yoddhas legend and one of their best players, having scored a whopping 350 tackle points for them across six seasons, including one where he scored 100 tackle points.
His Warriorz's debut against Jaipur started brilliantly. He certainly has the pedigree and technical ability to trouble the best of raiders, and he could prove to be a powerful Dream11 surprise pick tonight.
