Bengal Warriors somewhat struggled to score said raid points in their last match. Having got the better of opposing defenses for most of the season, Bengal Warriors raiding unit could not quite make their mark in the last match with the Mohammad Nabibakhsh finishing as their top raid points scorer after scoring four touches and two bonus points. That said, their raiders have delivered more often than not, and it would not come as much of aa surprise if Maninder Singh and K.Prapanjan were to produce another raiding clinic on Saturday. Moreover, Bengal Warriors will need to be on the top of their game on both ends of the mat to overcome the Gujarat FortuneGiants. Veteran Jeeva Kumar will be keen to move on from his past few outings and use his experience for the benefit of the team.
