Preview: The final game before the last Inter-Zone Challenge Week kicks off sees Dabang Delhi KC play host to Puneri Paltan at the Thyagaraj Sports Complex. Dabang Delhi KC are hot on the heels of Puneri Paltan, who occupy the third and final Playoffs spot in Zone A and will look to reduce the gap even further in their home leg.

The two sides have met twice this season with both teams winning a fixture each. Both teams have accounted for six points out of their tally from these two games. The most recent encounter, however, went the way of Puneri Paltan as they won a close game by four points.

Rookie Naveen Kumar has been the shining light of Dabang Delhi KC’s campaign so far. He is their leading points scorer and has led the offence brilliantly. He has managed 123 raid points in 15 games so far and stands sixth on the list of Best Raiders.

Kumar will be up against Puneri Paltan skipper Girish Maruti Ernak, who has been solid in defence this season. Ernak is one tackle point away from being the sixth man this season to 50 tackle points. He has been an astute captain and led his troops well. Although he averages 3.06 tackle points per game, Ernak has managed four High 5s this season and sits joint-second on that list.

Kumar and Ernak are level in their head-to-head battles, each getting the better of the other four times.
