Their balance of attack and defense has made them the side to beat in PKL 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kabaddiarena.com\/en\/team\/dabang-delhi-k-c\/\" data-type=\"sp_team\" data-id=\"1697\">Dabang Delhi K.C.<\/a><\/strong>, the <strong>season 8 champions<\/strong>, finished second on the table, proving once again that they remain a powerhouse in the league. Both sides have displayed excellent kabaddi throughout the season \u2014 and rightfully earned their spot in this all-important Qualifier 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, these two teams have already met <strong>twice this season<\/strong>, and both encounters ended in <strong>a tie<\/strong>. In fact, <strong>four of their last five matches<\/strong> have also finished level \u2014 showing just how evenly matched these teams are. Fans can expect another nail-biting thriller where every raid and tackle will count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Puneri Paltan vs Dabang Delhi Head-to-Head Record:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Total Matches:<\/strong> 26<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Puneri Paltan Wins:<\/strong> 13<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dabang Delhi Wins:<\/strong> 10<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tied:<\/strong> 3<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Out of these, two matches from this season went into <strong>tie-breakers<\/strong>, with both teams winning one game each. Historically, Puneri Paltan hold a narrow edge, but Dabang Delhi\u2019s experience in knockout matches could tilt the balance in their favor this time.<\/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>Aditya Shinde &amp; Gaurav Khatri (<strong>Puneri Paltan<\/strong>)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The success of Puneri Paltan this season has been built on a solid mix of attacking and defensive brilliance.<br><strong>Aditya Shinde<\/strong> has emerged as the star raider, accumulating <strong>118 raid points<\/strong> at a <strong>64% success rate<\/strong> with <strong>five Super 10s<\/strong> to his name. His consistency and calmness under pressure have been game-changing for the Paltan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, <strong>Gaurav Khatri<\/strong> continues to be the heartbeat of Pune\u2019s defense. The dependable right-corner defender has scored <strong>50+ tackle points<\/strong> for the third consecutive season. If Gaurav can hold the line and disrupt Delhi\u2019s raiders early, Pune will have a strong chance of sealing a direct berth in the final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ashu Malik (<strong>Dabang Delhi<\/strong>)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Captain <strong>Ashu Malik<\/strong> has been nothing short of sensational for Dabang Delhi this year. Despite missing a few games due to injury, he returned to lead from the front and played a pivotal role in taking Delhi to second place on the points table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ashu ranks <strong>third in average raid points<\/strong> this season and is known for his <strong>Do-or-Die raid dominance<\/strong>, maintaining a <strong>100% success rate<\/strong> in those pressure situations with <strong>21 points<\/strong> \u2014 second-best in the league.<br>His ability to deliver when it matters most makes him Delhi\u2019s biggest threat.
