With three of the eight qualified teams already eliminated, all eyes are now on <strong>Eliminator 2<\/strong>, where <strong>Patna Pirates<\/strong> will lock horns with <strong>Bengaluru Bulls<\/strong> in a high-voltage, do-or-die encounter. The match will take place on <strong>Monday, 27th October 2025<\/strong>, at <strong>8:00 PM IST<\/strong> in the <strong>Thyagaraj Indoor Stadium, Delhi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The stakes couldn\u2019t be higher \u2014 the winning team will advance to <strong>Eliminator 3<\/strong> to face <strong>Telugu Titans<\/strong>, while the losing side will have to bid farewell to their Season 12 campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Current Position &amp; Recent Form<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Patna Pirates<\/strong> have had a rollercoaster season. After a slow start, the three-time champions have made a remarkable comeback under their new head coach <strong>Randeep Dalal<\/strong>. His tactical approach, especially the focus on defensive stability, has paid rich dividends. The Pirates have now won <strong>seven matches in a row<\/strong>, proving that they are peaking at just the right time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their attack has been led by the sensational <strong>Ayan Lohchab<\/strong>, who has simply been unstoppable this season. The young raider has displayed incredible consistency, match-winning raids, and game awareness that belies his age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, <strong>Bengaluru Bulls<\/strong> suffered a tough loss to <strong>Telugu Titans<\/strong> in the Mini Qualifier. They will now be desperate to bounce back in this crucial Eliminator. The Bulls\u2019 defense has been their backbone throughout the tournament, but the previous outing exposed a few cracks that they must fix before facing an in-form Patna side.<\/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 Bengaluru Bulls Head-to-Head Record:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The rivalry between Patna Pirates and Bengaluru Bulls has always been intense and unpredictable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Total Matches:<\/strong> 27<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Patna Pirates Wins:<\/strong> 15<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bengaluru Bulls Wins:<\/strong> 8<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tied:<\/strong> 4<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Historically, Patna have had the upper hand. However, this season, the <strong>Bulls defeated the Pirates twice<\/strong>, including one victory in a dramatic <strong>tie-breaker<\/strong>. That gives Bengaluru some psychological advantage, but given Patna\u2019s current momentum, this contest could go either way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Players to Watch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Ayan Lohchab (<strong>Patna Pirates<\/strong>)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no doubt that <strong>Ayan Lohchab<\/strong> has been the driving force behind Patna\u2019s resurgence. With a staggering <strong>275 raid points<\/strong>, he currently leads the league in total raid points and is arguably the most impactful player of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the lead-up to the playoffs, Ayan has elevated his game even further. His recent performances \u2014 including a <strong>20-point raid masterclass against Jaipur Pink Panthers<\/strong> \u2014 underline his ability to dominate under pressure. Bengaluru\u2019s defense will have to come up with something special to contain him on Monday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Deepak Sankar (<strong>Bengaluru Bulls<\/strong>)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>While the Bulls have plenty of experienced names in their lineup, the rise of <strong>Deepak Sankar<\/strong> has been one of the biggest positives this season. The young defender from Tamil Nadu has surprised everyone with his discipline, timing, and consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He had an off-day against the Telugu Titans, which cost Bengaluru dearly, but Deepak will be eager to redeem himself in this match. With an impressive average of <strong>3.4 tackle points per game<\/strong> and a <strong>59% success rate<\/strong>, he remains the Bulls\u2019 best bet to neutralize Ayan Lohchab\u2019s threat.<\/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 7<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Patna Pirates:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Milan Dahiya<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ayan Lohchab<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ankit Rana<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deepak Singh<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Balaji D<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Navdeep<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ankit Jaglan<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bengaluru Bulls:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Akash Shinde<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Satyappa Mutti<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Alireza Mirzaian<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sanjay Dhull<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aashish Malik<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deepak Sankar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Yogesh Dahiya<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to Expect from the Match<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The atmosphere in Delhi\u2019s <strong>Thyagaraj Indoor Stadium<\/strong> will be electric, as two aggressive and passionate sides clash for survival. Patna Pirates come into this game riding high on confidence and rhythm, while Bengaluru Bulls will be eager to prove that one bad match doesn\u2019t define their season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Expect the Pirates to rely heavily on <strong>Ayan Lohchab\u2019s raiding brilliance<\/strong> and a tight defensive setup, whereas the Bulls will look for a collective effort from their defenders and secondary raiders to outwit the Pirates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the form and balance of both teams, this game promises to go down to the wire. The team that holds its nerve in the final moments will likely emerge victorious.<\/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 Bengaluru Bulls Match Prediction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Momentum favors <strong>Patna Pirates<\/strong>, who have found the perfect balance between attack and defense. Bengaluru Bulls, though dangerous, will have to deliver something extraordinary to break Patna\u2019s winning streak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Ayan Lohchab continues his golden run, Patna could well march into <strong>Eliminator 3<\/strong> with yet another statement win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Predicted Winner:<\/strong> Patna Pirates<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When and Where to Watch the Clash of Patna Pirates Vs Bengaluru Bulls?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Patna Pirates vs Bengaluru Bulls \u2013 PKL 12 Eliminator 2<\/strong> will be broadcast live on the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kabaddiarena.com\/en\/watch-pro-kabaddi-live-on-mobile-and-tv-channels-app\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1680\">Star Sports Network<\/a><\/strong> and can be streamed online via the <strong>JioHotstar app and website<\/strong>.
