Hello and welcome to Sportskeeda's live coverage of the Pro Kabaddi league, 2024. Tonight's second encounter will witness the Jaipur Pink Panthers taking on the Bengaluru Bulls at the Balewadi Stadium, Pune. 

The Jaipur Pink Panthers are in a spot of bother after 19 matches and tonight will be a very, very crucial match for them. They are currently placed seventh and a win today will can take them to potentially the fourth position, depending on the result of the first match. It will be interesting to see how they approach this match. A loss today will make their remaining encounters must-win matches. 

The Bengaluru Bulls, on the other hand, have had a season to forget. They have only two wins to show from their 19 matches and if recent form is to go by, this match might be a one-sided affair that goes against the Bulls. It will be up to Pardeep Narwal & Co. to finish the season on a high note and give their fans something to cheer for. Can they spoil the Pink Panthers' party? 

Promises to be an exciting match! Stay tuned as we take you through all that unfolds tonight!
