Today's PKL Match Prediction
'Naveen Express' hasn't been at his best for Dabang Delhi since returning from injury.
Meanwhile, Vijay will have to bring in more points in the raiding if Delhi want to play their second consecutive final. Moreover, their experienced defence must rein in their unforced errors and advance tackles to neutralise opposition attacks.
Bengaluru Bulls produced a near-perfect performance in the second eliminator. They have now demolished their opposition in two consecutive games. The Bulls will have to keep their feet on the ground to get to another final.
Prediction: Bengaluru Bulls are expected to win.
