Puneri Paltan have lost both their games so far after back-to-back defeats against Haryana Steelers and U Mumba. So, Surjeet Singh led side will be eager to beat Bengal Warriors to register their first points of the campaign.

Surjeet Singh, a former Bengal Warriors player, has led the defence well and even picked up a High 5 in Puneri Paltan's last game. He has also found support from the likes of Girish Ernak, Sanket Sawant and Shubham Shinde.

The raiders, however, will be looking to up their game. A star raider during his playing days, Puneri Paltan coach Anup Kumar will undoubtedly be working on improving this facet of their game.

The team will hope that Pawan Kadian and Sushant Sail, who impressed as a substitute against U Mumba, can come good against a strong Bengal Warriors defence.

Bengal Warriors, on the other hand, won their opening match of the season against U.P. Yoddha, were outdone by Jaipur Pink Panthers in their second outing. So, they will, undoubtedly, look to bounce back with a commanding display in their third match.

Having narrowly missed out on a win last time around, Bengal Warriors will look to respond positively and get their campaign back on track with a win over Puneri Paltan.

The team has looked solid defensively so far, with Baldev Singh leading the lines with High 5s in both their games. Jeeva Kumar and Rinku Narwal have supported him well with some stellar performances of their own.

Raiders Maninder Singh, K. Prapanjan and all-rounder Mohammad Nabibakhsh will be tasked with keeping the scoreboard ticking on the raiding front.

Both teams are coming into the clash on the back of defeats and will be eager to get back to winning ways. Who will come out on top? Find out tonight.
