Two former Pro Kabaddi League champions U Mumba and Bengal Warriorz will lock horns in tonight's (Saturday, October 26) PKL 11 game. The two teams have momentum by their side as they recorded a win in their respective previous games.
Talking about U Mumba's performance in Pro Kabaddi League Season 11 so far, the Mumbai-based franchise lost against Dabang Delhi KC in their first game. They bounced back in style with a fantastic win over the Gujarat Giants in their next encounter.
On the other side, the Bengal Warriorz lost against the Jaipur Pink Panthers in a close encounter to start their new Pro Kabaddi League season. The Warriorz beat the high-flying UP Yoddhas team two nights ago to register their first win of the competition.
The battle between Bengal Warriorz and U Mumba promises to be exciting. Hyderabad's Gachibowli Indoor Stadium will host this match from 8 pm IST onwards.
Here's a look at the three players Dream11 users can pick as the captain or vice-captain of their teams for tonight's fantasy contests.
#1 Maninder Singh - Bengal Warriorz
Regarded by many as one of the best raiders in Pro Kabaddi League history, Maninder Singh has continued his top form in the new season. He starred in Bengal Warriorz's first win of the season by scoring eight raid points against the UP Yoddhas.
Singh has a habit of executing multi-point raids, and Bengal captain Fazel Atrachali knows how to use him to perfection. Expect Singh to light up the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium with another memorable raiding performance against the U Mumba outfit later tonight.
#2 Fazel Atrachali - Bengal Warriorz
Iranian defender Fazel Atrachali will lead the Bengal Warriorz against his former team U Mumba tonight. It is well-known that the players perform well when playing against their former franchises in the Pro Kabaddi League. Hence, Atrachali will be a top pick in fantasy contests tonight.
Besides, the ankle hold specialist has been in terrific touch this year. Although Gujarat Giants coach Ram Mehar Singh remarked that Atrachali is not as agile as he once was, the Iranian star has earned eight tackle points in two games of the new season. It also includes a High 5 against the Jaipur Pink Panthers, where he troubled the league's number one raider, Arjun Deshwal.
#3 Mohammadamir Zafardanesh, U Mumba
Another Iranian player to feature on the list is U Mumba's rising star Mohammadamir Zafardanesh. The all-rounder has been phenomenal for the Mumbai-based franchise in the two matches of Pro Kabaddi League 2024.
Shedding some light on his numbers, Zafardanesh has scored 17 raid points and four tackle points. He was the hero for U Mumba in their previous game against the Gujarat Giants.
Although Fazel Atrachali will prepare some strategies to trouble Zafardanesh, the U Mumba all-rounder should perform well in this contest.
Considering that Zafardanesh contributes in both raiding and defensive departments, he will be the best choice for captaincy or vice-captaincy in Dream11 contests among all the U Mumba players.
