Team Analysis:
Puneri Paltan
Puneri Paltan is struggling in the Zone A after their four losses in the last five matches. They stand at the third position of Zone A points table. Due to Nitin Tomar’s injury, they have lacked a prime raider. Somewhere Akshay Jadhav and More GB have fulfilled that place. Girish Ernak and Sandeep Narwal the two corners have done their job by putting the opposition raiders quiet. Covers Ravi Kumar and Vinod Kumar have looked a bit out of the form.
Bengal Warriors
Bengal Warriors who rank fifth at Zone B points table has lost three matches, tied one match and managed one victory in last five matches played by them. Maninder Singh, the consistent man is in great form. Jang Kun Lee is not yet in his original form for which he is known for. Surjeet, Ran Singh, and young Baldev Singh have shown their skills.
