A second-string Bengal Warriors, captained by Baldev Singh, faced Patna Pirates. Rakesh Narwal and Sourabh Patil showcased their skills with Super 10s each. Iranian Mohammad Taghi also scored six raid points while the left corner Adarsh T bagged three tackle points. Despite a loss (41-69), Bengal Warriors fought well till the end and found dependable players heading into the playoffs.

They faced Tamil Thalaivas on Day 4 of the Greater Noida leg. Mohammad Nabibakhsh scored three raid points and four tackle points in his all-round show. Sukesh Hegde led the offense with six raid points, supported by a decent High 5 from Rinku Narwal. The Warriors defeated Tamil Thalaivas (33-29) and ended their league stage on a positive note.

Bengal Warriors will face the winners of Eliminator 2 between U Mumba and Haryana Steelers on 16th October. They are two victories away from winning their first-ever Pro Kabaddi title and are in top-notch form heading into the knockouts.
