The Bengal Warriors played a nail-biting tie against the Puneri Paltan, on Monday. The vulnerable defensive trio of Nilesh Shinde, Vishal Mane and Girish Ernak came to the party with the combined 13 tackle points against the Puneri Paltan. They need to put a stellar performance against the attacking force of Rajesh Narwal, Shabeer Bapu and Ajay Kumar.
Bengal will rely a lot on Nitin Madane to come good against the dangerous looking cornerstones of Amit Hooda and Ran Singh. Despite the Bengal campaign suffering from injuries and poor form, Nitin Madane played his part as a lone warrior in season 4. Jan Kun Lee’s fitness and Ravi Dalal’s uninspired run is still a concern for the Warriors heading into today’s battle against the Panthers.
Despite putting a successful show in the current season, the former Champions, Jaipur Pink Panthers were overpowered by U Mumba on Thursday. The defensive mainstay Amit Hooda has been rock solid for the Panthers with 25 tackle points. He turns the tide in favour of Jaipur in the crunch situations of the game. Amit Hooda is ably supported by his senior defensive partner Ran Singh, on the left corner.
Ajay Kumar is turning out to be the surprise package for the Pink Panthers in season 4. The athletic raider with strong twist and turns is making life difficult for the opposition defenders. Jasvir Singh needs to uplift his form after the poor show against U Mumba. The ace-all rounder Rajesh Narwal faces an uphill battle against Nitin Madane and Jan Kun Lee.
The head to head stands in favour of the Warriors with 4-3. It’s going to be an intriguing battle between Jaipur’s attack against Bengal’s defence. Let’s see who comes out on top.
