Current Form and Team Overview
Telugu Titans:
The Telugu Titans have been in exceptional form this season. The team has secured five consecutive wins, a first in their PKL history. These victories have propelled them to third place in the points table, putting them in a strong position to reach the playoffs. Their recent form, especially against Bengal Warriors, has been promising. In the last three encounters between these two teams, the Titans have come out on top, winning all three games. Out of the 25 matches played between these two sides, the Titans have won 6, with their recent dominance giving them a psychological advantage.
Bengal Warriors:
On the other hand, Bengal Warriors have struggled in PKL 12. The team is currently sitting in 11th place, having won just 4 out of 13 matches. Their inconsistent performances have been a major setback, and they have lost their last two consecutive games. Except for Devank Dalal, who has been in impressive form, the rest of the team has not been able to find their rhythm. Bengal Warriors will need to pull up their socks and put up a strong fight against the high-flying Telugu Titans if they wish to revive their season.
Telugu Titans vs Bengal Warriors Head-to-Head:
The head-to-head record between these two teams has been largely dominated by Bengal Warriors, but the recent form of Telugu Titans has tilted the balance in their favor:
- Total Matches: 25
- Telugu Titans Wins: 6
- Bengal Warriors Wins: 14

However, it’s worth noting that the Telugu Titans have won the last three encounters between the two sides, which gives them a clear psychological edge heading into this match.
Key Players to Watch
Bharat Hooda and Vijay Malik (Telugu Titans):
One of the standout players for the Telugu Titans this season is Bharat Hooda. The tall and powerful raider has been in exceptional form, and his performances are a key reason behind the team’s success. In their last match against the Haryana Steelers, Bharat scored a brilliant 20 raid points, proving his ability to turn the game around single-handedly. He has already surpassed his total points from the previous season, and with 120 raid points from 13 matches, he will be a force to reckon with.
Vijay Malik has also been one of the top raiders for the Titans, with 108 raid points to his name in this season. The combination of Bharat and Vijay is a major threat for the Bengal Warriors’ defense, and they will be looking to dominate once again.
Ashish Malik (Bengal Warriors):
For Bengal Warriors, the man to watch out for is Ashish Malik. He has been the backbone of the team’s defense this season, with 39 tackle points from 12 matches. Malik has made his mark in the top 10 of the defenders’ list and will play a crucial role in stopping the potent raiders of Telugu Titans. If Bengal Warriors are to have any chance of winning, Ashish Malik will need to continue his fine form and neutralize the duo of Bharat Hooda and Vijay Malik.
