Bengal Warriors' 14 Super raids out of 16 have been scored only with touchpoints, which remains the highest by any team this season. They have the third-best average of 21.35 raid points per game, which shows their fighting spirit till the final minute.

Bengal have relied less upon the Do or Die raids as a unit, while they have scripted comebacks in seven out of 10 matches. The corner defense combination of Baldev and Rinku take the onus of initiating tackles, as the cover defenders play the role of assisting the in form defenders extremely well. This has only gone on to exhibit their ability to make comebacks and remain composed throughout the game.

Skipper Maninder Singh has been the Warriors' best raider of the season with 205 raid points in 20 matches with an average of 10.25 raid points per game. He has a strike rate of 80 when it comes to Do or Die raids, which is the second best by any raider in the season thus far.

Maninder Singh has 16 raid points versus Dabang Delhi K.C. in two matches played against them. If he is indeed declared fit, the Bengal Warriors will have a boosted offense and the higher probability of winning the title on the 19th of October.
