PKL 2021: U Mumba v/s Bengal Warriors– Preview, Expected 7, Live Streaming, Players to Watch out, Head to Head, Key Battle
All you need to know about match 57 of PKL 2021 between U Mumba and Bengal Warriors.
Fazel Atrachali and Maninder Singh
A mid-table clash of U Mumba and Bengal Warriors is what match 57 of PKL 2021 have for us. A win for the Warriors will help them break into the top six in the points table after a long time, while a win for Mumba will put them in contention for the top four spots.
Strategic Takeaways
Both U Mumba and Bengal Warriors have had their fair share of struggles so far in PKL 2021. The Mumba boys were on a cruise mode before an injury to their star raider Ajith brought them to their knees, while the Warriors' main cause of concern has been their inconsistent defence despite the presence of Abozar Mighani.
Head to Head
U Mumba has always been dominant against the Warriors throughout PKL history. However, things took a turn for the better in the previous edition when the Warriors defeated Mumba thrice in three games.

Key Battle
Abhishek Singh v/s Warriors Defence
Abhishek Singh started off his PKL 2021 campaign in style, scoring 19 points in the inaugural match. However, he has blown hot and cold since then and has failed to live up to his billing in the absence of V Ajith. The Warriors defenders too have been inconsistent so far in this edition and this match could all boil down to how they handle the Mumba raiders, especially Abhishek.
