The Bengal Warriorz and the UP Yoddhas will lock horns in the 13th match of Pro Kabaddi 2024 on Thursday, October 24. The Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad will host the contest.
Led by Fazel Atrachali, the Warriorz fought valiantly against the Jaipur Pink Panthers in their first match. But a few missed opportunities cost them a win as they eventually succumbed to a 34-39 defeat. Nevertheless, barring a disastrous outing for their cover combination, it was mostly positive that they will take from that match, and they'll back themselves to get their first win today.
However, considering how well the Yoddhas have played, that might not be easy. After getting one over Dabang Delhi KC in their opening fixture, courtesy of a solid defensive performance, their raiders joined the party as they steamrolled the Bengaluru Bulls in a 57-36 win, with Surender Gill and Bharat both scoring Super 10s. They'll look to make it a hat-trick of wins to start this season.

BEN vs UP Dream11 Team Prediction Top Picks, Pro Kabaddi 2024, Match 13
Raider - Nitin Kumar
Nitin Kumar showed signs that he would be the Warriorz's lead raider with his stellar raiding performance against Jaipur, where he scored 13 raid points to keep his team in the game. There are several quality Dream11 options including Surender Gill and Bharat, but Nitin could end this match as the highest point-scorer.
Defender - Sumit
UP Yoddhas' left corner Sumit went berserk against the Bengaluru Bulls, scoring a whopping nine tackle points! The amount of confidence that gives to a defender is unmatched, and we can expect another solid performance from this very consistent defender, who's also a good Dream11 captaincy pick.
All-Rounder - Ashu Singh
Ashu Singh is probably the best Dream11 option among the all-rounders, with Bengal left cover Shreyas Umbardand the only other likely starter in that category. The Yoddhas' right cover had a solid game against Delhi, and while he couldn't score a point against the Bulls, he is a decent pick for this one.

Both teams are evenly matched in this one, with the Yoddhas looking a tad more settled defensively than the Warriorz. Nitin Kumar and Surender Gill should be the main men in the raiding department for their respective sides, with Maninder and Bharat likely to play second fiddle.
Likewise, Fazel and Sumit should lead the point-scoring charts in defense, with the right corners Nitesh and Sahul Kumar likely to do well in defense. In terms of captaincy, Surender Gill, Nitin Kumar, Fazel, and Sumit are the standout options.
