The Bengaluru Bulls (BLR) and the Tamil Thalaivas (TAM) go head-to-head in a feisty Southern Derby on Wednesday, October 19, at the Shree Kanteerava Indoor Stadium in Bengaluru.
While the Bulls come off a 44-37 defeat at the hands of the UP Yoddhas, the Thalaivas registered a narrow 33-32 win against the Patna Pirates, their first of the season.
While their raiders were spot-on against the Yoddhas, their defense came up a bit short and that cost them the match. Captain Mahender Singh hasn't had the best of starts to the season, and he'll look to get back into form.
Super-sub Himanshu Singh turned the tide for the Thalaivas. After coming on in the second half, he scored 11 crucial raid points, combining well with Narender to help the Thalaivas edge out the Pirates.
