PKL 2024 first match on December 16: Dabang Delhi vs Bengal Warriors
Dabang Delhi K.C. secured their place in the PKL 11 playoffs with a dominant 47-25 victory over Bengal Warriorz at the Balewadi Sports Complex. A standout performance by star raider Ashu Malik, who scored 17 points, led the team’s success. Dabang Delhi became the first team to reach playoffs in six consecutive seasons while matching the record for the longest unbeaten streak in a single PKL season with 13 matches without a loss.
Despite strong defensive efforts by Bengal Warriorz captain Sultan Fazel Atrachali, Dabang Delhi’s offence and defence proved too strong. Ashu Malik delivered a crucial Super Raid, eliminating most of Bengal Warriorz players. The match saw two significant all outs against Bengal Warriorz, highlighting Dabang Delhi’s dominance. Yogesh contributed defensively with a High 5. Ultimately, Dabang Delhi secured a massive 22-point win, while Bengal Warriorz were eliminated from the playoffs race.

In the second game of the day, Patna Pirates will face off against Puneri Paltan in a clash of champions.
