The Bengaluru Bulls (BLR) and Dabang Delhi KC (DEL) go up against each other in the 24th match of Pro Kabaddi 2024 on Tuesday, October 29, at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad.
Both teams go into this match on the back of defeats. The Bulls were well-beaten by a dominant Puneri Paltan, their fourth loss in a row. Dabang Delhi KC, meanwhile, succumbed to a 41-34 lashing at the hands of the Haryana Steelers, with a late surge helping them salvage a point from the match.
Delhi got the better of the Bulls in both their meetings last season, and it'll be interesting to see if Bengaluru's first win of the season could be against Dabang Delhi.

On that note, let's look at the top three Dream11 surprise picks for this match.
#3 Pankaj (RAI) (BLR) (9.5 Credits)
Raiding all-rounder Pankaj was one of the sole good performers for the Bengaluru Bulls in the raiding department in their 22-36 defeat to the Puneri Paltan in their last outing. Capable of raiding from both sides, Pankaj scored six raid points, a pretty decent total against the solid Puneri Paltan defense.
At a very budget price of 9.5 credits, Pankaj could be a great enabler for those teams looking to accommodate more expensive Dream11 assets in their teams. While he remains a very unproven asset, he has shown that he has what it takes to deliver in the PKL.
#2 Vinay Virender (ALL) (DEL) (11.5 Credits)
Vinay Virender could be an interesting Dream11 pick if he starts for Dabang Delhi KC against the Bulls. He came on as a substitute and helped Delhi reduce their defeat margin to seven points and get something from their last match against the Haryana Steelers.
Scoring eight raid touch points in as many raids, his raid strike rate was impressive, especially with it coming against such a robust defensive unit. He's likely to replace Naveen Kumar in the starting 7 if the Delhi co-captain isn't fit and he could haul big in his current form.
Interestingly, Vinay played for the Telugu Titans in PKL 9, scoring 38 raid points in 15 appearances, most of them as a substitute.
He's definitely a Dream11 surprise pick to consider for this match.
#1 Surinder Singh (DEF) (BLR) (13.5 Credits)
Bengaluru Bulls right cover Surinder Singh made a terrific start to PKL 11, scoring a High 5 in the first match of the season, but has been very quiet since, scoring only three tackle points in as many matches since.
Surinder is one of the most experienced players in the league, and he's a very confident defender who doesn't shy away from making a tackle. He's ranked 16th on the list of best defenders in the PKL, with 277 tackle points in only 123 matches.
While he's not the most consistent player, Surinder is someone who scores points in heaps. If he hauls, he hauls big, and Surinder could be a very profitable Dream11 investment for this match.
