Bengaluru Bulls Vs Telugu Titans 02 November 2024

Right then, that's all we have for you from this match! Join us back tomorrow for two more action-packed encounters. Until then, good night! 

Absolute domination in the first ten minutes, a comeback started by the Bulls, the Titans keeping the lead and in the end, sealing the contest narrowly - that pretty much sums up the thriller we have witnessed today. The Bulls were trailing at half time and made a good comeback in the second half, picking up points in defense and also getting some fresh legs out there to raid. Pankaj's super raid gave them some hope and after inflicting the all-out, they got into the game. However, the Titans managed to keep up their lead, although a slender one and get over the line.

Some comeback from the Bulls towards the end of the half but it has largely been one-way traffic. It started off evenly and the score was 6-3 in favour of the Titans before two Super Raids, an all-out and multiple other points saw the score go to 21-3. Just when all hope seemed to be lost for the Bulls, there was a moment, rather two moments, of brilliance from Arulnanthababu, who pulled off two Super Tackles on Pawan Sehrawat to bring them back into the contest. The Bulls have kept themselves alive in this contest on the back of their defense but some wholesale changes are needed in their raiding department.

Hello and welcome to Sportskeeda's live coverage of the Pro Kabaddi League, 2024. The thirtieth match of the tournament will witness the Bengaluru Bulls lock horns with the Telugu Titans at the GMC Balayogi Stadium, Gachibowli, Hyderabad. 

The Bengaluru Bulls have had a disastrous start to the tournament, losing four matches on the trot before a spirited showing in their previous game saw them edge past Dabang Delhi KC by a solitary point. A lot has been going wrong for the Bulls and there's hardly a few things that have been worth writing home about. However, a new match presents a new opportunity for them to turn the tides. It is still not too late for them and they can certainly get their campaign back on track with a winning streak. 

The Telugu Titans, who usually have had a start like the Bulls to PKL in the past three years or so, don't find them well above them this year. They are currently placed tenth with two wins and three losses in their five matches. A win in the first match gave their fans hope but they went on to lose three before pulling matters back and narrowly beating the Patna Pirates in their previous fixture. All eyes will be on Pawan Sehrawat and their corner combo as they look to stop the Bulls in their tracks. 

Promises to be a close contest as both teams will be eager to get their respective campaigns back on track! Who will emerge on top? Stay tuned to find out!
