Former Pro Kabaddi League champions Bengal Warriorz will lock horns with Krishan Kumar Hooda's Telugu Titans tonight in Pune. The match will start at 9pm IST, with the Badminton Hall at the Balewadi Sports Complex set to host the game.
Bengal Warriorz had a forgettable Noida leg of Pro Kabaddi League 2024. The Kolkata-based franchise lost seven matches on the trot at the Noida Indoor Stadium, but the change in venue seems to have brought about a change of fortunes for the Warriorz as they upset table-toppers Haryana Steelers on Wednesday to snap their seven-match losing streak.
The Warriorz still have an outside chance of qualifying for the Pro Kabaddi League 2024 playoffs. They need to win all of their remaining matches. It will be interesting to see if they can beat the Telugu Titans tonight. The Titans suffered a close defeat at the hands of UP Yoddhas in their previous fixture on Wednesday.

Before the high-stakes clash between Telugu Titans and Bengal Warriorz starts, here's a quick glance at the three players who fantasy users can pick as their Dream11 captain or vice-captain.
#1 Vijay Malik, Telugu Titans
The responsibility of captaincy seems to be bringing the best out of all-rounder Vijay Malik. The Telugu Titans star has been unstoppable in recent games. Even in the Titans' defeat against the UP Yoddhas, Vijay top-scored by scoring 11 points.
Vijay is the only Titans raider to have completed 100 raid points this season. He has scored a total of 127 raid points from 16 matches, averaging more than eight points per match. It goes without saying that Vijay will be the best choice for captaincy or vice-captaincy in Pro Kabaddi fantasy contests among all Telugu Titans players.
#2 Maninder Singh, Bengal Warriorz
Known as the 'multi-point raid specialist' of Pro Kabaddi League 2024, Maninder Singh has roared back to form in recent matches. The mighty raider scored a match-winning Super 10 for the Bengal Warriorz in their previous fixture against the Haryana Steelers.
Considering that Maninder performed so well against one of the defensive units of the tournament, he can be backed to score another Super 10 tonight. Apart from his multi-point raids, Maninder is also famous for his consistency. Having scored 11 points in the last game, the Bengal Warriorz star will be keen to continue in the same vein.
#3 Fazel Atrachali, Bengal Warriorz
There is a popular saying in the world of sports, and that is - 'Form is temporary, Class is permanent'. Both Maninder Singh and Fazel Atrachali have proven that saying correct in Pro Kabaddi League 2024.
After a disappointing show in Noida, there was a huge question mark over the careers of Fazel Atrachali and Maninder Singh. However, both seasoned veterans have produced match-winning performances for the Warriorz now.
Fazel has been the best defender for the Kolkata-based franchise, earning 44 tackle points in just 15 games. Since he averages almost three tackle points per match, the Sultan of Pro Kabaddi will be an excellent choice for captaincy or vice-captaincy in fantasy contests.
