Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) 2025 will enter its second week of action today with two high-intensity matches on the cards again. The most successful captain in PKL’s history, Sunil Kumar’s U Mumba, will kick off the day against struggling Ankush Rathee’s Bengaluru Bulls, before defending champions Jaideep’s Haryana Steelers clash with Sumit’s UP Yoddhas in the second match. Out of the four teams in action today, only Bengaluru Bulls have failed to secure any points so far in Season 12.
Match 1: U Mumba vs Bengaluru Bulls
After starting the season with two back-to-back wins, Sunil Kumar’s U Mumba finally tasted defeat when the defending champions Haryana Steelers outclassed them in the tie-breaker on Wednesday. But the Mumbai-based franchise would not be too worried, as they were at least unbeaten till regulation time and are still very much in form, something their opposition on Friday, Bengaluru Bulls, cannot say.
Ankush Rathee-led Bengaluru Bulls have lost both their games so far and are in desperate need of a win today, as the league stages have now been cut short to just 18 matches, and they cannot afford to lose more time getting on the points table.
U Mumba vs Bengaluru Bulls playing 7
U Mumba playing 7 (probable): Ajit Chouhan, Satish Kannan, Mukeshkannan S, Abhimanyu Raghuvanshi, Sunil Kumar, Deepak Kundu, Rinku
Bengaluru Bulls playing 7 (probable): Ankush Rathee, Alireza Mirzaian, Manish Dhull, Akash Shinde, Sanjay Dhull, Pankaj, Yogesh Dahiya

Match 2: Haryana Steelers vs UP Yoddhas
The defending champions Haryana Steelers, after suffering a huge defeat in their season opener, finally came back in form with a big win against U Mumba on Wednesday. But they need to keep their performance up to the mark if they want to continue their winning run, as they will be up against one of the most balanced sides in PKL 2025, UP Yoddhas, on Friday.
Yoddhas have won two out of two so far this season and look like they have all bases covered, but they will still need to be careful of Haryana, especially after their star raider Naveen and star defender Jaideep are finally back in form.
