That much-needed win lifted their confidence and helped them climb slightly to <a href=\"https:\/\/kabaddiarena.com\/en\/table\/pro-kabaddi-points-table-2025-pkl-12\/\" data-type=\"sp_table\" data-id=\"42\"><strong>10th position<\/strong> on the points table<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bengal Warriorz<\/strong>, on the other hand, find themselves in deeper trouble. With only <strong>two wins from seven matches<\/strong>, the team is reeling at <strong>11th place<\/strong>. Despite having one of the league\u2019s most in-form raiders in <strong>Devank Dalal<\/strong>, they\u2019ve failed to find the right balance \u2014 particularly in defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Current Form \u2013 Momentum Favors Patna<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kabaddiarena.com\/en\/team\/patna-pirates\/\" data-type=\"sp_team\" data-id=\"1701\">Patna Pirates<\/a><\/strong> will be eager to build on their narrow but crucial <strong>3-point win over Dabang Delhi<\/strong>. That game showcased the Pirates\u2019 grit and the emergence of <strong>Ankit Kumar Rana<\/strong>, who delivered a stunning 12-point performance after coming off the bench. His ability to outmaneuver some of the league\u2019s finest defenders \u2014 Surjeet Singh, Saurabh Nandal, Sandeep, and Fazel Atrachali \u2014 shows the young raider\u2019s immense potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Bengal Warriorz, <strong>Devank Dalal<\/strong> remains the standout performer with <strong>109 raid points<\/strong>, making him the top raider of PKL 12 so far. However, the over-reliance on him is hurting the side. Their defensive unit, especially seasoned corner <strong>Nitesh Kumar<\/strong>, must step up if they want to contain Patna\u2019s youthful raiders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Patna Pirates vs Bengal Warriorz Head-to-Head: Patna Dominate the Rivalry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Total Matches:<\/strong> 25<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Patna Pirates Wins:<\/strong> 16<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bengal Warriorz Wins:<\/strong> 6<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ties:<\/strong> 3<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Patna Pirates have a clear edge in the historical face-off. Even more telling is that they have emerged victorious in <strong>four of the last five meetings<\/strong>. Bengal will need to break this pattern if they want to salvage their season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Players to Watch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Patna Pirates \u2013 Ankit Kumar Rana<\/strong><br>Ankit has made his presence felt with <strong>20 raid points from 5 matches<\/strong>. His fearless approach, showcased in the win over Delhi, could be the X-factor again. If he continues his form, Bengal\u2019s inconsistent defense might find it difficult to contain him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bengal Warriorz \u2013 Devank Dalal &amp; Nitesh Kumar<\/strong><br>Devank is the lifeline of this team. With his aggressive raiding and consistency, he\u2019s keeping Bengal\u2019s hopes alive. However, his load needs to be shared \u2014 especially by <strong>Nitesh Kumar<\/strong>, who has had a subdued season barring a standout <strong>High-5 against Telugu Titans<\/strong>. Bengal\u2019s defense will need to be watertight to challenge Patna\u2019s hungry raiders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Predicted Starting 7s<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Patna Pirates:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ankit Jaglan (C)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ayan Lohchab<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ankit Kumar Rana<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deepak Singh<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sudhakar M<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sanket Sawant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Navdeep<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bengal Warriorz:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Devank Dalal (C)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Manprit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vishwas S<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ashish<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parteek<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nitesh Kumar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mayur Kadam<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Patna Pirates vs Bengal Warriorz Match Prediction: Slight Edge to Patna<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This contest may seem like a battle between two struggling sides, but <strong>Patna Pirates<\/strong> enter the game with a better rhythm and morale.
