The excitement of Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 12 continues to rise as we head into the first Sunday of the Delhi leg. Match 80 will feature an electrifying face-off between Bengal Warriorz and Bengaluru Bulls, taking place on 12th October 2025, at 9:00 PM IST in the iconic Thyagaraja Sports Complex, Delhi. With both teams having plenty to prove and points to gain, fans can expect a high-intensity kabaddi showdown under the Delhi lights.
The PKL 12 caravan now moves to Delhi, and this Sunday marks the beginning of what promises to be a thrilling leg at the Thyagaraja Indoor Stadium. The home of many iconic kabaddi battles, this venue will now host two of the most spirited teams in the league – Bengal Warriorz, who are looking for resurgence, and Bengaluru Bulls, riding high on recent success.
Current Form and Standings of Both Teams
The Bengal Warriors are currently positioned 11th on the points table, having played 12 matches with just 4 wins, earning them 8 points. They have struggled with consistency throughout the season, and a heavy 29-48 defeat to U Mumba in their most recent match has only compounded their troubles.
The Warriorz have struggled for consistency throughout the season. Despite showing sparks of brilliance, the team hasn’t been able to string together momentum. With only 4 wins out of 12 matches, their chances of making a late playoff push are slim – but not impossible. A strong performance against the Bulls can be the turnaround they desperately need.
On the other hand, the Bengaluru Bulls are enjoying a much stronger season. Sitting in 5th place after 13 matches, they have secured 7 wins and accumulated 14 points. The Bulls have quietly moved up the table thanks to solid team performances, including consecutive victories in their last two outings.
Their defense is looking sharp, and their raiders, especially Alireza Mirzaian, have been in fine form.
Bengal Warriorz vs Bengaluru Bulls Head-to-Head Record
- Total Matches: 24
- Bengal Warriorz Wins: 15
- Bengaluru Bulls Wins: 9
- Ties: 0
Interestingly, the Warriorz have had a clear edge in this rivalry, winning every match against the Bulls in the last four years. Despite the difference in current form, this statistic gives the Bengal team a mental advantage going into Sunday’s clash.
Players to Watch Out For
Devank Dalal – Bengal Warriorz
If there’s one man who can change the game for Bengal, it’s Devank Dalal. The star raider has been in red-hot form this season. In the previous match, he completed 200 raid points and created history by becoming the fastest player to reach 500 raid points in PKL history. Facing a sturdy Bulls defense, Dalal will relish the challenge and look to carry his team with another standout performance.
Alireza Mirzaian – Bengaluru Bulls
The Iranian sensation, Alireza Mirzaian, has become a household name this season. Leading the Bulls’ raiding unit with confidence and flair, he has already accumulated over 110 points by the end of the Chennai leg and is currently among the top 10 raiders of PKL 12. With Bengal’s defense struggling, Alireza will fancy his chances to wreak havoc again.
Match Prediction
While the current form clearly favours Bengaluru Bulls, the head-to-head dominance of Bengal Warriorz cannot be ignored. Devank Dalal’s presence gives Bengal a fighting chance, and they’ll want to keep their historical advantage alive. However, the Bulls are on a roll and will come into this match with sky-high confidence.
Prediction: A closely fought battle, but the momentum is with Bengaluru Bulls. Expect a narrow win for the Bulls unless Bengal Warriorz pull off something special.
