Bengaluru Bulls: With a single win from six games, the Bulls find themselves at the bottom of the points table. Key player Pardeep Narwal has underperformed, with only 28 points across the season. Ajinkya Pawar has also struggled, and defender Saurabh Nandal has not found his rhythm. All-rounder Nitin Rawal, however, has stood out with two High-5s, contributing significantly in defence.
Tamil Thalaivas: On the other hand, the Thalaivas have started strong with three wins, a tie, and only one defeat. Raiders Sachin Tanwar and Narender Kandola bring versatility to the team’s offensive play, challenging defences with their height difference and skill. The absence of injured captain Sagar Rathee was well managed as Amirhossein Bastami stepped up, helping Tamil Thalaivas hold their position at the top.
Player Availability and Injury Updates
Tamil Thalaivas will continue without their captain, Sagar Rathee, but Amirhossein Bastami has effectively filled the defensive gap. Bengaluru Bulls have a fully available squad, with no major injuries reported, which should boost their confidence.
