PKL 2021: Dabang Delhi KC v/s Bengaluru Bulls - Preview, Expected 7, Live streaming, Players to Watch out, Head to head, Key battle

Strategic Takeaways

Both franchises are currently standing on the top half of the points table. But both the teams are coming back into the action suffering from a forgettable outing in their last fixture. Dabang Delhi's veteran stars are continuously failing to step up when Naveen is off the mat.

Head to Head

The capital-based franchise is leading the head-to-head count with a hefty margin. Delhi has dominated the Bulls so much that the red army could win only one match from their last eight encounters. Randhir Singh Sehrawat is eying on revenge as his Bulls were knocked by Dabangs of Krishan Kumar Hooda in the Semifinal round of season seven. Dabang Delhi's three core players Manjeet Chhillar, Joginder Narwal and Ajay Thakur are already club legend figures for the Karnataka-based franchise. Meanwhile, Chandran Ranjit was Delhi's second most successful raider from the previous campaign and he will be donning the red attire of Bengaluru tonight.
