Today’s PKL Match Prediction
The Bengaluru Bulls haven’t been as consistent as they were in the first half of the competition. The dependency on Pawan has cost the team.
Moreover, the defence has not been consistent as well, and has looked indecisive on many occasions. With only a few games left, the Bulls have to pick themselves up, and perform as a unit to remain in the top six.
Meanwhile, things have been a lot worse for the Gujarat Giants, as they are struggling in the bottom half of the points table. The biggest challenge for them will be to keep Sehrawat quiet. However, their defence hasn’t been threatening enough. So the Bulls will fancy their chances of winning this clash.
Prediction: Bengaluru Bulls to win this game.
