Bengaluru Bulls vs Telugu Titans (BLR vs TEL) Mini Qualifier Match Preview - PKL 2025
Bengaluru Bulls Preview
Bengaluru Bulls bounced back strongly in PKL 12 under new coach BC Ramesh, finishing 3rd after a slow start of three consecutive losses, winning six of their last seven games, with only a tie-breaker loss against Patna Pirates. Deepak Sankar led the defence, ranking third in tackle points, while Yogesh delivered on expectations after a high-profile auction buy. Alireza Mirzaian emerged as the lead raider, averaging 10 raid points per game with 12 Super 10s, excelling in Do-or-Die situations (34 points at 69% SR) and bonus/Super Tackle scenarios, though struggling against 4–5 defenders (32 points at 31% SR). Support raiders Akash Shinde (58 points, 52% SR) and Aashish Malik (73 points, 37% SR) supplemented Alireza, but the team collectively faces challenges against 4–5 defenders, recording the third-lowest strike rate in such situations. Their season-long resurgence makes them a formidable playoff contender heading into the Mini Qualifier against Telugu Titans.
Telugu Titans Preview
Telugu Titans have staged a remarkable turnaround in PKL 12, qualifying for the playoffs after seven seasons under coach Krishan Kumar Hooda. After losing their first two matches, they won 10 of the next 16 games to finish 4th, with captain Vijay Malik and Bharat forming the league’s most effective raiding duo, highlighted in their season meeting with Bengaluru Bulls where Bharat scored a Super 10 and Vijay Malik narrowly missed one. Defence has been their backbone, ranking 5th in the league with 11.1 average tackle points per game; all four defenders—Ankit, Shubham Shinde, Ajit Pawar, and Avi Duhan—maintained a tackle strike rate above 40%, showing consistent team effort.

Ajit Pawar contributed the most assists (56), and the balanced defence has been key to supporting Vijay Malik and Bharat in sustaining their winning streak and securing a playoff berth.
