Bengaluru Bulls vs Jaipur Pink Panthers: Recent Performances
The Bengaluru Bulls have faced a tough season so far, with only two wins out of eight matches. They are coming off a 29-40 defeat to the Bengal Warriors, and the absence of Pardeep Narwal, who is ruled out for six weeks, adds to their challenges. However, Ajinkya Pawar and Akshit Dhull have shown glimpses of promise in the raiding department.
Jaipur Pink Panthers have had a slightly better run, with three wins in seven games, but consistency has been an issue. Arjun Deshwal’s 20-point raid performance against the Patna Pirates showed his ability to lead from the front. Despite this, the Panthers will need their defence, led by Ankush Rathee and Reza Mirbagheri, to maintain their strong form to counter the Bulls’ raiders.
