All you need to know about match number 29 of PKL 2021 between Puneri Paltan and Bengaluru Bulls.
Pawan Sehrawat and Vishal Bharadwaj
Bengaluru Bulls are ready to take down the distraught Puneri Paltan with an ultimate aim to prolong their unbeaten run in PKL 2021. High-flyer Pawan Kumar Sehrawat will be up against another acrobat raider Aslam Inamdar during the clash. So let's unfold the detailed preview of the forthcoming battle between these two franchises.
Strategic Takeaways
Things are not going the way the Paltan coach Anup Kumar must have planned. Puneri Paltan are sitting at the rock bottom of the points table tally with only one win from four outings. Meanwhile, fans are still waiting for their captain Nitin Tomar's return to the Starting 7. On the other hand, it will be a tough decision for Randhir Singh Sehrawat to choose a third raider among Bharat, GB More and Dong Geon Lee.
Head to Head
Puneri Paltan are on a three-match winning streak against the Red Army. Anup Kumar will also use their head-to-head record against the Bulls to uphill squad morale. In-form all-rounder GB More will be expecting a start against his former side.
