The Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 12 continues to heat up as Bengal Warriorz take on U Mumba in Match 76 on 10th October 2025, at the SDAT Multi Purpose Indoor Stadium in Chennai. This clash marks the end of the Chennai leg of PKL 12, before the action moves to Delhi for the fourth and final leg of the league phase. With both teams battling for critical points, it promises to be an intense encounter as two former champions collide for the all-important two points.
Bengal Warriorz, fresh off an exhilarating victory over table-toppers Dabang Delhi, will be looking to maintain their momentum. On the other hand, U Mumba, despite a recent loss to Puneri Paltan, are aiming to secure their position in the top two, to ensure a place in the playoffs. The stakes couldn’t be higher, as both teams will be gunning for a win, albeit for different reasons.
Current Position & Recent Form of Both Teams:
Bengal Warriorz – A Fight for Survival
Currently sitting at the 10th position in the points table with 8 points, Bengal Warriorz have had a rough season so far. Having won just 4 out of 11 matches, they are struggling to break into the top 8. However, their confidence has received a massive boost after their recent victory over Dabang Delhi, who have been in stellar form this season. A nail-biting one-point win has given Bengal Warriorz hope and momentum, but their road to the playoffs is still a long one. They will need to string together a series of wins, starting with U Mumba, to keep their playoff hopes alive.
U Mumba – Aiming for the Top Two
U Mumba, on the other hand, are sitting comfortably in the 4th position with 6 wins from 12 matches. Although their recent loss to Puneri Paltan has put a dent in their campaign, they remain a formidable team with a balanced squad. With 6 wins, 5 losses, and 1 draw, U Mumba will be looking to bounce back and finish in the top two, which will provide them with a significant advantage heading into the playoffs. A win against Bengal Warriorz is crucial for them, not only to get back on track but also to secure a favorable position in the upcoming stages of the tournament.
Head-to-Head: Bengal Warriorz vs U Mumba
The head-to-head record between these two teams heavily favors U Mumba. Out of the 22 encounters, U Mumba have won 15 matches, Bengal Warriorz have won 5, and 2 matches have ended in a tie. The record in recent encounters doesn’t look promising for Bengal Warriorz either, as they have won just 1 match in the last 8 meetings between these two sides. This historical dominance by U Mumba will give them the mental edge going into this clash, but Bengal Warriorz will be hoping to defy the odds and pull off an upset.
Players to Watch Out For
Bengal Warriorz – Himanshu Narwal
While Bengal Warriorz have had their struggles, Himanshu Narwal has been one of the standout performers for them this season. Though Devank Dalal has been their primary raider, Narwal showed his class in their last match against Dabang Delhi, with a brilliant super raid in the first half. His performance was crucial to the win, and he will need to replicate that against the strong U Mumba defense. If Narwal can continue his form, Bengal Warriorz may just have a chance to cause an upset.
U Mumba – Ajit Chouhan
For U Mumba, Ajit Chouhan is the player to watch. Last season, Chouhan was a revelation, but this year, his performances have not matched the expectations. However, in their previous encounter against Puneri Paltan, he showed signs of getting back to his best, and U Mumba will be hoping he can carry that form into this match. As a left raider, his ability to break through defenses could be pivotal in U Mumba’s pursuit of victory.

Bengal Warriorz:
- Devank Dalal (Raider)
- Shivansh Thakur (Raider)

Bengal Warriorz vs U Mumba Match Prediction:
U Mumba will enter this match as the favorites, given their superior head-to-head record and stronger overall squad. They have a more balanced team with a solid defense and potent raiders, and they will be looking to bounce back after their loss to Puneri Paltan. However, Bengal Warriorz cannot be underestimated. Their confidence will be sky-high after their narrow win against Dabang Delhi, and they will be fighting hard to stay alive in the race for the playoffs.
While U Mumba should have the upper hand, Bengal Warriorz could very well pull off an upset if their key players like Himanshu Narwal and Devank Dalal perform at their best. Expect a thrilling match with both teams giving it their all.
Prediction: U Mumba to win, but Bengal Warriorz will put up a tough fight.
