Bengaluru Bulls vs Dabang Delhi Match 94 Preview: The Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 12 is now heading into its final league weekend, and Match 94 promises to be a thrilling clash as Bengaluru Bulls take on Dabang Delhi on Saturday, October 18, 2025, at 7:30 PM. The match will be played at Thyagaraj Sports Complex, Delhi, which will also host the playoffs this season. With the business end of the league approaching, both teams have everything to play for – either to confirm playoff positioning or to stay in the top 4 race.
Current Form & Points Table Position
The Bengaluru Bulls are coming off yet another heartbreak, having lost to Patna Pirates in a tie-breaker – their fourth tie-breaker loss this season. Despite putting up some fighting performances, they have failed to close out crunch moments. With 8 wins from 15 games, they are currently placed 4th on the PKL 12 points table. This match is crucial for them to regain momentum and solidify their spot in the playoffs.
Dabang Delhi, on the other hand, have looked like one of the most consistent and dominant sides this season. With 13 wins in 16 matches, they have already qualified for the playoffs and are sitting at 2nd place on the table. However, they are eyeing a Top 2 finish, which would give them a direct shot at the final via the Qualifier 1. Playing at home, they’ll want to use the home advantage and build momentum ahead of the knockout stage.
Bengaluru Bulls vs Dabang Delhi Head-to-Head Record
The rivalry between Bengaluru Bulls and Dabang Delhi has always been intense, and the numbers reflect that:
- Total Matches Played: 25
- Dabang Delhi Wins: 13
- Bengaluru Bulls Wins: 10
- Tied: 2
Interestingly, Delhi have won four out of the last five matches against the Bulls, including their earlier clash this season. This gives the home team a psychological edge heading into this crucial match.
Players to Watch Out For
Alireza Mirzaian (Bengaluru Bulls)
The Iranian star raider has been a revelation this season. Alireza Mirzaian’s fast, diving hand touches have left defenders clueless. Even though Bengaluru lost to Patna in their last match, Alireza stood tall with his spirited raiding. He is currently among the Top 5 raiders in PKL 12, and the last time these two teams met, he scored his first-ever Super 10 – against none other than Delhi. He’ll look to repeat that performance.
Fazel Atrachali (Dabang Delhi)
PKL’s most successful defender Fazel Atrachali continues to show his class. Surprisingly bought at base price in the auction, the experienced left-corner has led the team excellently in the absence of Ashu Malik. Fazel is also among the Top 5 defenders of the season and will be a huge hurdle for Alireza and the other Bengaluru raiders. His presence adds unmatched solidity to Delhi’s defense.

What to Expect from This Match?
This is more than just a league-stage match – it’s a test of nerves. While Delhi have already secured a playoff spot, they will be eager to finish in the Top 2. Bengaluru, on the other hand, cannot afford another slip-up. Their playoff hopes depend on how well they handle the pressure against a well-balanced and confident Delhi side.
Expect a tight battle – the youthful energy of the Bulls vs the experienced core of Dabang Delhi. With star performers like Alireza and Fazel going head-to-head, fans can gear up for a thrilling 40 minutes of kabaddi action.
Match Prediction
Looking at current form, Dabang Delhi enter this match as clear favourites. Their squad is well-settled, their defense is rock-solid, and they’ve already beaten Bengaluru earlier this season. If skipper Ashu Malik returns fully fit, their raiding becomes even more dangerous.
However, don’t count Bengaluru out. If Alireza Mirzaian finds his rhythm and the Bulls manage to hold firm in defense, an upset could be on the cards. Still, Delhi has the upper hand, especially on home turf.
