A great contest is on our hands an attack-heavy Bengal Warriors will be up against U Mumba’s heavy defence in the 86th match of Pro Kabaddi 2019.
Bengal Warriors will be pretty happy with the proceedings so far. Their raiders have been mighty impressive this season. Bengal’s average raid points figure stands at 19.79. Only Dabang Delhi have managed a better figure. Maninder Singh unfolded his magic with yet another super 10 in the last match which was also his 5th one in this season.
His partner K Prapanjan has managed to complement Maninder very well. Together, they have a total of 200 raid points in season 7.
But the show-stealer of the last game was Esmaeil Nabibakhsh who scored a massive super raid in the dying minutes to snatch victory for Bengal from the jaws of defeat.
Their defensive front will be satisfied with its performance in the last few games. Baldev Singh’s fine form along with left corner Rinku Narwal’s audacious back holds will give them a lot of confidence. The former has two high 5s in the last 3 games. Jeeva Kumar’s experience adds even more depth to this defence.

U Mumba were clinical against Telugu Titans in their last match. Their defence oozed class as it completely overpowered the mighty Siddharth Desai. Fazel Atrachali, Sandeep Narwal and Surinder Singh joined hands to score a whopping 15 tackle points. Fazel Atrachali also completed his 19th PKL career-high 5.
Arjun Deshwal’s brilliant super 10 along with Rohit Baliyan’s 7 crucial points have given Mumba a massive boost ahead of this game. In spite of Abhishek Singh not being at his best, Mumba did very well to manage 18 raid points in the match.
