PUN vs BEN Dream11 Prediction: Welcome to the 43rd match of the Pro Kabbadi League Season 8, 2021 where Puneri Paltan takes on Bengal Warriors. Puneri Paltan is not having the kind of PKL 8 season they would have expected. They are placed at the 11th position in the points table having won just two of their seven games. They come into this game on the back of a 31-26 defeat against Jaipur Pink Panthers. The return of Nitin Tomar from injury might be a huge boost for them and could now start to get on winning ways. On the other hand, defending champions Bengal Warriors haven’t been at their best and are having a pretty mediocre season. After grabbing two consecutive victories, they have managed to win only one of their last five games. In the recent encounter, they suffered a 41-37 defeat against Haryana Steelers which saw them go down to the eighth spot in the points table.
