pkl-2018-live-updates-results-dabang-delhi-bengal-warriors-eliminator-2

After a competitive first half, the second half was dominated by the team from the national capital. They have now advanced into the third eliminator with this 11-point lead and will meet UP Yoddha in the next game. Naveen Kumar had a brilliant game this evening that ensured this big win for Dabang Delhi. 

Bengal's defence didn't do that well which cost them the match and they have to go out of the tournament now. Maninder, however, managed to get eight points but that was not enough for the team from Kolkata.

Apart from Naveen's Super 10, Ravinder, Joginder and Vishal Mane had a good outing for the Dabang Delhi KC as well and the trio played a crucial role in Delhi's victory here. 

That's all from Day 1 of the PKL playoffs. We will be back with the 31st December special games tomorrow evening. Until then, it's Chiranjibi Pati bidding you GOOOD BYE on behalf of Faizan Qadiri from the comm box...

Has been a good game of kabaddi where the momentum has shifted from one team to other. The all-out inflicted by Bengal Warriors has helped them to have a good four-point lead going into the break after the first 20 minutes of the second eliminator clash here.

The defence hasn't come to the party for the team from the national capital and that is what hurting them at the moment. They would want the experience of Joginder, Ravinder and Vishal Mane to come in handy in the last 20 minutes of the match. 

The next half can bring in more surprise from the kabaddi mat. Do join us for all of it in a short while from now....

After a breathtaking game between UP Yoddha and U Mumba we expect something similar from the second eliminator as well. 

It's time for the battle between Maninder Singh and Joginder Narwal... The stage is set for the clash between Surjeet Singh and Naveen Kumar...

It's the fight between the experienced defenders and young raiders... 

Don't go too far away as we get ready for the eliminator game between the City of Joy and the national capital... 

It will be all even-steven when Bengal Warriors and Dabang Delhi will be up against each other for the second eliminator tie of PKL season 6. Both the sides have experience in the defensive units but the young raiders have done pretty well for them throughout the season and all eyes will be on them.

Led by Surjeet Singh, Bengal Warriors put up a good show in their home leg apart from a huge defeat in the last game against UP. They will be having the winning momentum with them coming into the eliminator game against the team from the national capital. Skipper Surjeet along with Baldev Singh and Ran Singh will be having the hopes of the Bengal fans to put up a great show for them in the playoffs. On the other hand, Maninder Singh, Jang Kun Lee and either of Mahesh Goud and Ravindra Kumawat will take it upon them to do well against an experienced defence of Delhi.

The trio of Joginder Narwal, Ravinder Pahal and Vishal Mane will hope that the evening goes to them and there will be no stopping for the Dabang side from Delhi. It will be always tough for any raiding unit to get past these three and that will be a cause of concern for Maninder and co. Naveen Kumar and Chandran Ranjit have come up with some very good shows for Dabang Delhi and Meraj Sheykh’s all-round abilities might just be very crucial in the knock-out game for them.
