U Mumba looking to reclaim place in top six when they take on Bengal Warriors

Kabaddi, Trending

Triple Panga Saturday will bring three tantalising vivo Pro Kabaddi contests. In the first game, Tamil Thalaivas will take on Dabang Delhi, and later U Mumba will go head-to-head against the Bengal Warriors. In the main event, Telugu Titans will battle Puneri Paltan. Check out our preview for all three games: Match 110: Tamil Thalaivas vs Dabang Delhi K.C. Three straight losses have seen the Tamil Thalaivas slip to 11th on the points table.
