BEN vs DEL Dream11 Prediction: 3 surprise picks for today's Pro Kabaddi 2024 match - November 7, 2024
The Bengal Warriorz face off with Dabang Delhi KC in the 39th match of Pro Kabaddi 2024 on Thursday, November 7, at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad.
Dabang Delhi are in dire straits, with five defeats and only two wins in their seven matches so far. Unless they can begin their turnaround immediately, it might be hard for them to keep up with the top half of the table.
Meanwhile, the Warriorz have lost only one out of their five opening fixtures and have looked largely assured under the leadership of Fazel Atrachali. While they do have some defensive issues that need to be ironed out, they come into this match a confident team after beating the Haryana Steelers 40-38.
Let's now look at the top three Dream11 surprise picks for this fixture.
#3 Sandeep Deswal (DEF) (DEL)
Sandeep Deswal has been one of the better players for Dabang Delhi KC this season, performing significantly better than Vikrant in their left cover position. He has scored eight tackle points in four matches, including a four-point haul against the Bengaluru Bulls.
He is set to get a long rope in the starting 7 given the lack of better options, and he should be crucial in stopping the Bengal raiders. Their left corner position has been a problem area, and if that player is sent to the bench, Sandeep will deputize as the left corner, increasing the chances of him scoring tackle points.
While a tad risky, he is a solid Dream11 surprise pick.
#2 Rinku Narwal (ALL) (DEL)
Rinku Narwal took Ashish Malik's spot in the Dabang Delhi starting 7 against U Mumba. While he didn't produce a great performance, it was definitely more assured and less error-prone than Ashish's recent outings and that should see him get the nod ahead of this one too.
The experienced defender, who has been a part of the PKL since season 5, will know that he will have a hard time against Maninder, Nitin Kumar, and Sushil Kambrekar. However, if the Delhi defense finally clicks tonight after days of struggle, Rinku is probably the player most likely to score the highest points.
A left corner is always a Dream11 pick with plenty of potential and Rinku Narwal is no different.
#1 Nitin Kumar (RAI) (BEN)
After his Super 10 against the Haryana Steelers, Maninder Singh is no longer a lower-owned Dream11 asset. With Sushil Kambrekar reclassified as an all-rounder, it leaves Nitin Kumar a differential option with ownership way less than his ability warrants.
The talented youngster has scored 32 raid points in five matches so far, and against a struggling Delhi defense, he could really add to that points tally.
Considering that he scored a whopping 169 raid points in just 20 appearances last year, Nitin clearly has what it takes to excel at this level and a good start to this match could see him be one of the highest Dream11 point-scorers in this game.
