Hello and welcome to Sportskeeda's live coverage of the Pro Kabaddi League 2024. Tonight's second fixture will witness the Puneri Paltan taking on the Bengaluru Bulls at the Balewadi Stadium in Pune. 

Puneri Paltan, after a lot of changes in their leadership group including a change in captain, vice-captain, coach and assistant coach, have made perhaps the worst possible start to what is a month-long home leg for them. They have lost all three matches at home that they have played so far and playoffs hopes might start disappearing if they cannot secure a win. They will hope to get their campaign back on track against the Bulls tonight. 

The Bengaluru Bulls, on the other hand, were the first team to be eliminated from PKL 11 and have nothing to lose, which makes them potentially deadly for top-placed teams who are in the hunt for a playoffs spot. The Bulls will look to be the party poopers here and hand Pune their fourth straight loss at home. With a squad of experienced players, the Bulls will hope that they fire in unison as they eye their third win of the season. 

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