The Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 has reached its final stretch, and while a few teams have already sealed their playoff spots, others are either out of the race or hanging by a thread. Match number 100 is set to take place on Tuesday, 21st October 2025, at 7:30 PM IST at the Thyagaraj Sports Complex, Delhi, where Bengal Warriors will take on Tamil Thalaivas.
Even though both teams have been officially knocked out of the playoff race, the match still holds plenty of excitement — for pride, for fans, and for finishing the season on a high note.
Current Standings & Form Guide
Tamil Thalaivas come into this game having played 17 matches, out of which they have won 6, and are currently placed 9th in the points table. This will be their final league match of the season. The team will look to sign off with a win and offer something for the fans to cheer about in what has been a difficult season.
On the other side, Bengal Warriors are at the bottom of the table. They have managed to win only 5 out of their 16 matches so far. Even if they win both of their remaining games, qualification is mathematically impossible. Their aim now would be to avoid finishing last and restore some pride before exiting the tournament.
Bengal Warriors vs Tamil Thalaivas Head-to-Head Record:
- Total Matches Played: 17
- Bengal Warriors Wins: 10
- Tamil Thalaivas Wins: 6
- Tied Matches: 1
Interestingly, Tamil Thalaivas have won all of the last four encounters between these two teams — including the earlier match in PKL 12. This gives them a slight psychological advantage going into this contest.
Key Players to Watch Out For
Devank Dalal (Bengal Warriors)
Devank Dalal has been the shining light for Bengal Warriors this season. He currently leads the chart of Top Raiders in the league. Despite the team’s poor performance, Devank has consistently delivered and carried the side on his shoulders. Against Tamil Thalaivas, he’ll be up against Nitesh Kumar, one of the top defenders of the season — a battle that fans won’t want to miss.
Arjun Deshwal (Tamil Thalaivas)
For Tamil Thalaivas, Arjun Deshwal has been the standout performer. Sitting at 3rd place among top raiders, Arjun has been a reliable match-winner and has led from the front, especially in the absence of a regular skipper. The Deputy Superintendent of Police will want to finish the league on a high and continue his strong form into the next season.

Match Prediction: Who’s Likely to Win?
Going by recent form and head-to-head dominance in recent seasons, Tamil Thalaivas hold the edge. Arjun Deshwal’s consistency and the team’s better defensive unit may just help them pull off a win.
