Hello and welcome to Sportskeeda's live coverage of the Pro Kabaddi League Season 11. Match 123 of the league stages will be played between Jaipur Pink Panthers and Bengal Warriorz

Four teams have booked their spot in the final four and two teams remain. Jaipur Pink Panthers are in strong contention while Bengal Warriorz have no chance to break into the top six. With only nine more matches and four days of the regular season to go before the playoffs, things could get really spicy.

Jaipur Pink Panthers are desperate for a win in this game. With two league games remaining, they have 11 wins and seven losses to go along with two tied contests. They are behind U Mumba by two points and this win will help them jump over them and almost guarantee them a spot. Their last game was a successful one where they beat Bengaluru Bulls and they will be looking to do the same this time as well. 

For Bengal Warriorz, a promising season has quickly gone a downward spiral, with the season 7 champions failing to qualify. They have only managed five wins in their 20 games and with two more games to go, they will want to play for pride and ensure they finish in the top half of the table.

Will Jaipur Pink Panther secure their qualification berth or will Bengal Warriorz spring up a surprise? Join me, Lavil, as I take you through this contest
