This looks like a one-sided match on paper. The in-form Bengal Warriors was keen to close the gap with Patna Pirates in Zone B by winning this match. Right now both these teams are separated by just seven points. They are up against a team that has struggled to get its act together from day 1 of the league. Having won just four matches out of their fifteen, the Bulls find themselves a massive 20 points behind Bengal. Despite such an uninspirational performance, the Bulls can still qualify for the playoffs as Zone B remains to be highly competitive. Now that Rohit Kumar and team know that they have no other option but win to qualify for the playoffs, they might play with a lot more freedom. Having said that the Bengal Warriors cannot take the Bulls lightly. They will have to on top of their game to get those points.
