Pro Kabaddi 2019, Match 86: Bengal Warriors vs U Mumba | Match preview, predictions and telecast details - Who will win today’s match?
A great contest is on our hands an attack-heavy Bengal Warriors will be up against U Mumba’s heavy defence in the 86th match of Pro Kabaddi 2019.
Bengal Warriors will be pretty happy with the proceedings so far. Their raiders have been mighty impressive this season. Bengal’s average raid points figure stands at 19.79. Only Dabang Delhi have managed a better figure. Maninder Singh unfolded his magic with yet another super 10 in the last match which was also his 5th one in this season.
His partner K Prapanjan has managed to complement Maninder very well. Together, they have a total of 200 raid points in season 7.
But the show-stealer of the last game was Esmaeil Nabibakhsh who scored a massive super raid in the dying minutes to snatch victory for Bengal from the jaws of defeat.
Their defensive front will be satisfied with its performance in the last few games. Baldev Singh’s fine form along with left corner Rinku Narwal’s audacious back holds will give them a lot of confidence. The former has two high 5s in the last 3 games. Jeeva Kumar’s experience adds even more depth to this defence.
